Description

"I am Fire"
Just a little doodle I did digitally, then created a frame for it, and finally edited it with effects to make it almost resemble something a kiddo might draw using something like a rough pencil or maybe even crayons. Messed with the lighting, colors, textures, and saturation levels levels to give it a sad and reminiscent feel to it. Hope I got what I was aiming for in my pathos.

The rune characters below the bust are actually J'masebr. I did actually create a visual language, and not just an oral one. It has its own text characters. However, the runes are in English and not J'masebr. (i.e. the characters read "I am fire~" and not "I' ko Hise~")

The style of the illustration shows how I am feeling right now- Happy mixed with sad, but whatever happy there is (in this case, depicted by the dragon's facial expression- a smile- and by the sunny sky above the bust) is tainted by the sadness, introspection and confusion (depicted by the grey scale color spectrum used, the oil painting style to make it seem like I am trying to dig deep and assess my thoughts regarding my childhood and growing up, and then the abstract frame showing that not everything is as simple as it seems and that some things are so mixed that it's hard to some times explain our feelings, urges, and thoughts).

Also, the relation between the head and sun in the center and them being surrounded by the abstract frame is a picture of how one, if mentally content with their thoughts and feelings, should keep happiness as a focus. If you do that, then the confusion is left on the outside and the happiness on the inside. It's a depiction of staying happy when times are sad and not letting the sad stuff become the center of your life and letting it ruin you and who you are or might be.

The dragon in the middle is also Sage, my main character from Milestone and side of the personality I wish I had all the time. Some days I just wish I was him. All the problems would dissipate into the clouds and float away to horizons that don't concern me, and I would be left dancing across the sky, held suspended by the updrafts of joy and laughter.

Yes, as you can tell, I actually thought out and added strong meaning and symbolism behind everything I did with this simple and amateur deviation.
And, yes, I most certainly was in "literature mode" when I drew this and composed the lovely description for you to enjoy.
