🩸 Pain
i love this art. i kept coming back at it to look at it, so i decided maybe i should just put it here. not that i really think even a single person reads this, but even if i'm the only one who ever looks back at my older entries i know i'll be happy to have preserved this piece.
i feel this really encapsulates not just the agony of the Red Hell Week, but does so very artfully and beautifully. i appreciate the blood being visible and part of the piece itself, which is yeah kind of gross but i like that it is, it doesn't bother to shy away or hide from the reality of having a body that menstruates.
also, the werewolf creature being transmasc really just ices the cake for me. i relate to this picture and see myself reflected in it, and experience the joy of being Seen.
the style and technique of the artwork itself is incredible as well, at least in my opinion. apparently this artist does other monstrous things in this style which are worth checking out... assuming, again, that anyone else actually reads these entries.
but if you do, and liked this picture, please go see more of their stuff! it's worth seeing!
