Many many faces! Which one is your favorite? :D

I am not sure if I will ever use these characters again but I really like them. 

I tried to make them quite diverse.

Girl talking to rocks. (I am so good with titles omg xD)

Sometimes imagination dwells in loneliness. Or vice versa.

I want to apologize for the spam of posts today but I am kinda hurrying to build my portfolio in order to apply for an animation school. 

I generally never spam and for most of the time I post only maximum 3 drawings per day.

Pacalici animated (badly) but it is my first moving animation so *shrug* :)

[ryelys-mikeilo-blog]

Old animations. No need for more explanation. xD

They were a fun experience nonetheless.

Universal entity in the form of matrix.

Genesis through love.

I feel like every being is like a whole other world that mirrors the other in a unique way. This way the Universe is constructing and reconstructing itself through the positive force of creation. Love.

Locked window

Ever found that there are so many “keys” out there in life but none seems to fit in perfectly and thus so we keep on searching for the right one to unlock our “chest”? A window to our souls, to the knowledge of who we truly are, to a dimension beyond anything we can imagine.

I have drawn this few weeks ago thinking about this and also about the anxious and introverted nature of some people (including me too) as it is often so hard to find the right way to express yourself the way you really want to and feel inside. You could use so many words and still not say much, your core message being hidden deep inside you because of this communication issue. From this I got the idea of a locked “chest” as such a person finds it very difficult to open their hearts to the world.

Watercolors concepts.

The second one is just a wizard cat.

“Why don’t you give up on your worthless hope? That light has long before started to burn low...after all you said you’d rather not have it at all so why not give it up to us, who are willing to take it...” Have you ever had negative thoughts? Heard voices, even yours, who are sliding into your mind with darkness and amplify the hallow feeling of emptiness, despair, numbness and sorrow? 

 No matter how worse things and life will get, no matter how hard it may seem to be, never NEVER give up on your light. On your hope. It's the one that helps you move forward towards your dreams, towards a hopefully better place you will never get to if you give up on it. I don't think everything ends in death. Therefore I think it's an endless cycle and you might only get lower and lower so the fight to survive is always worth it. A paradox: fight to win harmony.   I do believe that one's spiritual light and energy cannot be taken by force, yet it can be pursued by darkness. We are the ones to awaken the seed of negativity which is like a crack, an open door for more to overwhelm us. If we succumb to it we'll get weaker and weaker day after day, thinking there is no remedy for it, that the battle is already lost. But even when you have just a drop of hope and light left, it is enough to break the chains. Just listen to the side of you that's fighting from within and follow that one. Ignore the others who are crawling and clinging on you to get you back into dark thoughts. You have the strength to move forward and no entity or negative emotion can win you without your will and consent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I felt like drawing something original and motivational even though it's quite dark. That's how I've been feeling lately and that child is the "inner child", the core of one's spiritual self (in my opinion). I also used this opportunity for a light & darkness practice + character designs with no references.
