This image came about after a discussion with my counceller. All three figures in this picture are me.
The top figure is the side of me that is still eight years old (hence the yellow wings, sign of immaturity) the bottom figure is the side of me that is around thirty.
The figure in the middle is the physical me (minus a few pounds of course)
We were talking about the fact that I seem to have two seperate parts of myself - the emotional part, ruled by my inner child (who can be a sweet and lonely eight, or a rebellius sixteen - I decided to illustrate the eight year old) and my logical part, ruled by what appears to be a thirty+ inner self.
The basic idea for the image came form a conversation about the way I seem unable to hold both sides at the same time. Always it is either one or the other in control.
My Counceller suggested trying to keep the inner child safe, while at the same time listening to the Logical self - and the annalogy that sprang to my mind was abseiling down a cliff.
Probably none of this is making sense to you lot ^^ But it makes sense to me ^^
Anyway - I'm not so sure I like the style I used for this image. I may re-do it completely in only traditional media...
I already have another self portrait in mind to do, using oil-bars...

I like the simple colouring despite what you may say. It keeps the image clean and to be honest it doesn't feel like it needs to be shaded or have any complex techniques added to it.

It's the way I've always thought really. You must have some sort of balance. Like the Ying Yang or something.
I dislike people who use to much reason and less heart. But it's bad when you use to much heart and less reason. So conclusion, balance! ;D!
Awsum drawing. It's magical!
