Narcissus is Back

Description

Wouh~ I finally found the strength and time to finish this drawing. :) I saved both a transparent bg and a white bg version but I don't know which would look better here on dA. :?

Sooo here's some info about the whole thing :
I drew it firstly for practice as I just can't draw snarling animals, especially in frontal view~
There is some sort of meaning behind it all:
-Tsuki is here because that's my fav child + she's a tormented and rotten mind.
-Snarling because she's aggressive by nature + Narcissism makes people go mad.
-Flower is a Narcissus because obvious + in her eye socket because the myth of Narcissus/narcissism deals with sight and the vision you have of your surroundings vs you.
-Blood because this flaw hurts you and your relatives.
-Broken teeth is on the left part of her face as well as darkness to suggest her mind and appearance are linked + narcissism is destructive... By the way if the shell breaks there's nothing left since as I mentioned above this personality trait is linked to sight.
-Mirror because obvious here again. Linked directly to the original myth. It's broken because aggressiveness + rotten + deceiving and illusive is the reflection of oneself in the mirror. UoU
-Ladybug stands for beauty and is at a place where a tear could be so can also stand for pride coming from self perception as a pretty person... Can also take flight so fragile perception of self. Can disappear and break you afterwards.
... Overall I think the main themes here are self-destruction through self-perception when narcissistic, fragility of this illusive perception of self, and aggressiveness this flaw creates.

I have spent so many hours on this. I mostly took time to figure out how to draw the mirror the best way I could and had to cut the reflection in multiple pieces to shift and deform some to stick to a realistic vision of a broken mirror. X_X
I'm rather happy with how the whole thing turned out actually. It's not perfect but it will do. The SAI file contains so many layers it's making my head spin. @_@

*whispers*I love my child so much~ *proudly sheds a tear*

Hope you like it~ B)
