Darling, just call me Moku.

This is a commission for archiroth on FA.  Posting it here first for approval and to make sure the flat colors are correct for this.  Added the texture background for interest.  :3

This is the third picture of the 100 theme challenge, which you can see the full list here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3461442/

Artist Statement:
I decided I wanted to make this particular picture of a monster looking for her heart, but not able to find it. Sometimes the emotional feeling of being hollow is rather similar to the feeling of everything being removed and that the important parts have always been missing. So this picture is supposed to be one depicting a character trying to understand why they can’t feel anything.


Medium:
Prismacolor Markers on Sketch paper, enhanced and textured in Photoshop

Artist Statement:
Sometimes the hardest truce some one can make is with themselves. Letting go of self loathing, self destruction, and a hopeless attitude towards life can be one of the hardest things to do.  Sometimes that truce can only happen at the lowest of moments… where there is no denying the damage that is being done.  Trading a world wrought full of pain and deep depression for one of chasing after hope and healing can be almost impossible since it is process of making a truce with your own worst enemy… who knows all of your flaws… all your failings… every single embarrassment, lie, tragedy, doubt, and worry.  The worst enemy that is always with you and working against you, because that enemy is you.  

In order for peace and the hope of happiness, a truce has to be made, where you will try and live again.

Medium:
Line art, shading and lettering done with Mechanical Pencil on Sketch Paper
coloring done in Photoshop
Textures include cement, wood and stained watercolor paper

This is a rough WIP for Simon_Heron from FA and my local area, wanting to make sure this is okay before I start cleaning this up and adding the rest of the tentacles ♥

Just finished cleaning up the sketch line work for the commission, just need to confirm some colors and then this one will be done :D

I have been working on this on and off for the past couple of days.  I was originally going to make Marmalade (the name of the goo lady monster) a yellowish orange like orange marmalade, but she ended up looking rather molten.  It was okay looking, but I did not like it.  So I fiddled with the colors and decided to make her the color of plum marmalade because plums are still delicious, and she looks way better in this shade.
