The Masochistby `yuumei

Manga & Anime / Digital Media / Paintings

I always wanted to draw a picture that explores the personality of a masochist, but not someone who physically abuses oneself; I wanted someone who enjoys emotional abuse.

I imagine that person to be someone who does contradicting things. It wants to be with other people, but locks itself in a bathroom. It doesn't want to be wet, but turn on the facets and opens an umbrella. It wants friends and cuts out little people, then tears them apart.

The gratifying pain is symbolized through the bleeding paper dolls.

~~~

I wanted to try a new drawing technique with this picture. It lacks the thin lines and smooth colors of my other styles. I drew it with a canvas texture but it's hard to see because of the small size on dA. The actual image is very big with detailed textured lines that looks like it was made with charcoal.

Drawn in Paint tool SAI

Creepy. But well made. The deliberate contradictions were well thought out. Great job. I'm amazed.

~afewscribbles May 7, 2012 New member

I like the idea of the contradictions. And it came out pretty too. Bloody-pretty, but still.

Believe it or not, you've caught the spirit of the masochist who wants something more but feels empty without that degradation.

But enough about me, and about my Master and I :3

Also, while I'm getting together the nerve to speak, thank you so much for your work related to divorce. It's therapy in and of itself. <3

Do I have to stand up
Wild-eyed in the spotlight?
What a nightmare!
Why don't I turn and run?

It was just a mistake!
I never meant to let them take away my soul!
Am I too old?
Is it too late?

... The show must go on.
