he's a good guy and has good intentions but he's overall very socially awkward and reclusive. he wants to be in a meaningful relationship but doesn't know how to approach it and he misses out on opportunities that are handed to him for being wrapped in himself and he projects his faults on others. he thinks he's lost the best thing he had and is stuck in a perpetual limbo, he'll get past that, but only to get stuck in some other mind trick.




this is probably the biggest beast i've done so far, i'm very happy with how it came out.

the infinity knot:
knots In strings and ribbons, associated with the themes of tying, retention and release. Their essential quality is one of uniting, binding, and thus also of confining; the undoing of knots frees energies and individuals.

laurel leaves:
laurel leaves were prized not only for their medicinal properties but also for their ability to cleanse the soul of guilt.

no, not quite, they're painted in clumps and glued together.
:iconreowyn:
Wow! I love how you frame them, especially the background. With the gold and black, it really sticks out.
:iconbrownboots:
oh thank you, i know it's kinda hard to tell but that background is actually a really dark reddish brown color called "mud"
:iconsorapyper:
