Can you hear dying butterfly, falling nightmare?

Dying butterfly never dies, never dies.
-Can, "Butterfly"
A nemesis character I play on the same muck Charlotte resides on. Sosael is a mad shard of self-hate and horror.

All the figures are lohovely~. Some of their most sharp-angeld shapes like that front-wrist remind me distantly of a cartoon network style, although I seldom saw it as a kid and can't remember more about that thought, darn. This dementia begins to annoy me..!! *rrhgrunts at self and fixes head a little*
I enjoy details, like spray-painted/ripped paper-edges, and the eyes of the rightside figure. The colours appeal to me, it's so great in the whole... funny... Messy with strange clarity, an unusual thing. Respect yo! Really, it's a sizzling piece. I'll take it to my picture den.
Since doing this image, the character has changed into a slightly saner butterfly, a coldly calculating and foul salamander, and a cryptic spider. Oh, if only there were just two faces to her...
Hahahah nice. Im going to name myself everything nothing. Ive decided to stop counting the faces. Ill just have them all and let them make their mess. Like alice in wonderland. eating the shrinking mushroom and growing mushroom at the same time and seeing what happens. Im tired of this annoying "sanity"
Do you write any poetry? you seem like the kinda person that might have some soulful insight. Im dying for some contrast to the zombies that i dont have to make for myself.
Did you put up the second verson of that? So we get to see the progression?
When she's at her best, it's cooperative improvised poetry about mutilations and torture.
Other characters I play there, other masks I wear in that context, can also be poetic. But she's always had this insane ungrammatical flow to her. I don't write poetry in and of itself, that stands alone, but it's one of the ways I tell strange stories with a few strange friends.
There's stuff in my sketchbook, some online - go here and search for "sosael" - some not. But this is the only finished picture of her.
No, I don't have any stories out in the world, only half-worked-out plots for comics scattered throughout my sketchbooks, and assorted roleplay logs. Though the latter strays into microfiction territory now and then, it's not something I really call "story". Fragments and improv.
But mostly that doesn't matter; mostly she's just about hate. The fact that she's a butterfly is pretty much incidental.
Thanks!
I really love your style.... At first, when viewing this pic, I thought "Whoa, it's like (that artist) Shag" then I thought "Nah, it's more like a German expressionist style painting" and then my mind just kpt going, till I just came to the conclusion that it's not any of those things, just freaking awesome.
GREAT WORK
