Artist's Comments

This is for :iconringocatalog:'s really inspiring 'Art Quest'.
As soon as I read it on the list I thought of this right away.
Watercolour on paper.

This isn't (supposed to be) about gender confusion. Or something along those lines. But it can be if you like. Whatever blows up your skirt.
To me it illustrates pretty much not being able to be sexual whatsoever. Not even masturbation... just at its basic, simplest level... the feeling of sexuality itself.
I've been afraid of people for most of my life, and its made me into a very anti-sexual, anti-person person. Sometimes, I wonder what it would be like to feel that way about anything, to be sexually attracted to a person, or feel sexual myself. Just thinking about it now is scaring me.

I hope I don't have to put this up as mature content... theres really nothing there at all :P not even a nipple.

Can you tell I had little clue what to do with the background? Yeah I just gave up. Nothing like a good half-assed wash to finish a drawing.

Don't knock on the anatomy please... I like it. My favourite part is the distorted leg... I think its nice. I do it on purpose.

EDIT
This is a really bad scan I just noticed. The wash is a lot darker, theres a bit of detail at least... and the blue is actually purple. :fork:
EDIT
Slightly fixed.
EDIT
Never mind the quality was better before.

This is really cool! I like your description of it as well cause I automatically interpreted this as sexual and now I realize I'm probably brainwashed. :p It takes a lot of effort not to but it's worth it cause it makes it ten times more interesting

I always end up wishing I was a person like that.

I never understood when in literature or in history people would take the subject of love and blow it way out of context... turn it into something sexual... because I know it is possible to love people without thinking sexually about them. Like Sam and Frodo. They were friends, thats all, no big deal.

That's very true. It really messes up peoples' understanding. Especially people living in a separated family, and have to rely on external sources for getting an idea of what it's like. I kind of wish it was much more like that, since sexuality seems to really hurt people.

I don't know if its just humans (I like how I say that as if I am not one :P )... I know animals in the wild can love each other without bein' all sexual over it. Like wolves! They build family units, they can love each other, work together, help each other out, and only two of them ever really get to shtoop each other.

It can also get in the way of a simple friendship too... say theres a boy you want to be friends with. But somewhere, theres a sexual connotation. Just because its assumed there is. Or something like that. I can't figure out if its society thats normal, and I'm a wierdo, or society, through the entire course of history... is at a point where its at its most sexual-driven.
