Comment on On Character by ~ioyousbook[parent]

Thank you! The heartbeat was a last-minute touch which I'm glad I went with.

No problem at all--after a while I was kinda swamped with responses, so!

(thanks for the favourite, too)

Ooooh, this turned out nice. I like the heartbeat in the background, and the shading on his chest and legs. I ALSO APOLOGIZE for missing thine advicething about it, I've been a tad stressed the last few days. But I think this turned out genius. A+

This is lovely...when I first saw it I thought it was going to be someone hiding within a cool, "together" facade, and being stripped of it, are naked, scared and helpless.

But that's just me XD

That's a good interpretation, too! I like that one a lot--holds particularly true for Saul as a character because he's all shine and charm and not much of what in the old days they called "moral fiber."

I was kinda hoping people would come up with their own interpretations along with mine--I realized early on that this was a piece with many ambiguities, and while I want to be clear about my intended meaning I think it's neat to see additional ideas.

I like your interpretation too. Yours is more like a message to writers and artists about how to create real characters. Mine is more of a life thing :P

That heartbeat is quite ingenious, as well as compositionally effective. Ties the whole thing together into more than a marker sketch.

Plus the skin-shading is lurvelynice.

It immediately reminded me of V for Vendetta. Maybe just because Guy Fawkes day is coming up and it's been on my mind a lot. But. The whole, "The face underneath this mask isn't me, any more than the bones and muscles beneath that" or whatnot . . . we have a persona that we want people to see, and we put it on (literally, in this case) . . .

But obviously the other interpretations make perfect sense, too. ^__^

Very awesome piece!

Looks like a bit of Jungian philosophy to me. You know, the whole Persona and Anima thing? Very nicely done.
