Description Another hospital doodle I fixed up in Gimp. I'm sure there's some symbolism here, but I was really just drawing this cool idea I had in my head lol. I've never drawn maggots before (or grubs or whatever those are supposed to be) so I kinda just tried from memory to what a certain something like that would look like. Those are probably the wrong colours too lol.

Title from "Audience Of One" by Rise Against.

Thanx so much There'll probably be more ponies coming, but with my mental state the way it is I wouldn't be surprised if there was more of this stuff too lol.

I LOVE IT! Its really different from your other drawings that you have posted up. Just the way it looks and feels intrigues me. I also like the rough colouring style that was used to give the picture more texture and give it that creepy old look. I just love how the person/monster looks. It reminds me of a character that you would see in Silent Hill.

The butterflies give the picture a happy feeling while the maggot give you a disgusting feel to it too. The blood does too but, lets be honest. In today's society, the blood factor doesn't really scare or gross out a lot of people. While maggots will forever be disgusting.

Amazing work!

I draw dark stuff too, I guess I just don't draw as much as FUCKIN PONIES! lol. I'm glad you like it And you picked up on everything I was thinking of while drawing it. I didn't intend for it to evoke a feeling but when I was done with it I was like "Hmm...this could really mean something". The butterflies are supposed to be coming out of her stomach wound, while the maggots are crawling out and around her legs and pelvis; so it's like the classic juxtaposition of light and dark, etc. The roughness is just shitty pencil and paper and pencil crayons lol, but I'm glad you like the effect! Ya, I always have to pull back my blood lust so it's not so overpowering lol

Thank ya kiddo
