I've grown tired of this body.


I had been tagged @veryspider on steemit, on the "7 day album challenge" and I haven't done the challenge yet, but, but I genuinely wanted to actually finish the challenge.

This was inspired by the song "Body" from Mother mother. You can search it up on youtube. This was my favourite song when I was younger. It felt comforting to hear. That someone is having the same problems.

Well now I am still here to show you I am an angsty teen stuck in the 2000s.

Inner doubts: "Oh shut up you're just being edgy for the sake of being edgy and cool"

uhm. Can't argue with that.

By the way, I was at a car drawing this, so sorry if its messy.

Heres the rules of the challenge in a nutshell

  • get an album and draw it for 7 days

  • the album cover is the theme, add in anything you'd want.

About the album

So heres the album,

It's a lil dead fishy album but I decided to focus on a song named "Body" now I don't know what this song is officially about.. But I'm pretty sure it's Bulimia disorder or Anorexia.

So I decided to focus on, hey whats common with fish and anorexia?

Uhh... Water? Cuz.. Throwing up? Uhmm yeahhh I don't know what I was doing.

Not so fun fact:

Okay so I went to bed before writing this but I already finished the art of me throwing up. Then hours later it was like 1 am, I thought it was five but I felt so sick and shit and my stomach hurts a lot. I went up and just walked and I threw up.

And now I'm super tired making this post and sorry I was late for a day!! I like how I just threw up and feel sick after I drew myself throwing up, it's like I just predicted my sickness or something haha, I still feel sick by the way at the time when I'm writing this. Anyways lets get to the progress and stuff.

p-progress!

FAQ:
Time took: 53 minutes
Programs: ibispaint
Tool: Phone and my fingers.

K-kay we start of with a sketcharooni...

Inner doubts: "Wow Maya, you're not as enthusiastic as you used to be"

uhm.. I was sick making this post back then, so I dunno how to make this fun. Sorry if I don't sound fun right now haha. Anyways its just basic shading and all that stuff.

Before I made this I have other ideas in mind which is this

And it kinda sucks looking back at it but ey atleast I didn't go with this at first cuz it looks totally boooring even for my sick mind. Hahahaha. Not saying you couldnt make it interesting, I probably just don't have any creativity for it. Lool

So finally I started to draw in some details, like the water and the mirror etc.

Then I added in some colors like the grossness of the vomit. And trying to make the skin look nicer. Using the Add blending layer.

Then I gave some details on that too hurraayy.

Also to make it more dramatic I added BLOOOD bloood everywhere MMMM mroe EDGYYYNESSS.

And now I'm starting to understand why I got sick in the first place.

I added in some blue tint to make it seem more natural or prettier.

Anddddd

FINISHED!!

It doesn't took much time like my other art, because its only BnW with some color on it. I still feel sick btw and now a headache.

Oh well maybe the car sickness is so bad that I got sick or something.

Anyways thanks for @veryspider for tagging me into this mess. Check her post out when she tagged me
