Absolutely loved working on this one! I know most top surgery scars are typically less visible than this but consider; dude literally had this done in a radioactive desert.
Guache comms on kofi are still discounted until the end of June :}
It's been getting warmer, so obviously I spent a lot of time listening to Danger Days again :3
This painting here is me wanting to get back into watercolor while trying to express a very specific vibe I had in my head! I wanted it to have a tragic element, so I dug a little into flower language as I've liked to do recently;
Bleeding hearts: heartbreak, compassion, empathy
Cypress vine: unrequited love, loss, heartbreak
Purple hyazinth: apology, regret, grief
Forget-me-not: love, loyalty, losing a loved one
Marigold: the pain and sorrow of separation, burning and fading of love, cruelty and grief yet also resilience and endurance
i hope whoever drew this knows how culturally significant this image is to me. i found the full comic earlier and its even funnier in context. i love this image so much
