Description *listening to too much down with the sickness* lookin at my own reflection...when suddenly it changes..CIO-LENT-LY it CHANGES!... ;; oops sorry

*ahem* background info for this:

Dominic suffers from a type of schizophrenia called undifferentiated schizophrenia. It's described as a type that causes hallucinations and dellusions. This type of schizophrenia can't be categorized in paranoia, catatonic or disorganized, but those who have it DO show symptoms. Best way to say this is... dominic hears voices, constantly, no laughing matter like " hahaha voices!" no!.. >:V; ...he was heavily abused as a child and was always told that his life was meaningless so the voice sounds like nicolai, his father(not his reaaal father), and tells him constantly everyday how worthless he is. Most of the time he can ignore them but sometimes when he feels he's not succeeding they're loud and clear and they can drive him mad.

Though you think he's okay and happy and normal or even sexual ... don't forget...with schizophrenic's the dellusions and hallucinations NEVER stop so even though he's smiling they're still talking to him, but when he's with ones he loves he can't hear them so well. No other persona of dominic has any ill relations towards women...since for the first 20 years of his life he had been treated kindly to by both mother and sister... but men however... if a man tries to swing a fist at him or strike at him in a violent way or call him foul things it causes a persona switch and he goes violent... violent enough to defend himself to either killing the man or brutally beating him. Dominic views his attackers as his father so he's insane. He enjoys the violence in that state... and when he switches back he doesn't realize what he did. :V Kind of fun since he's naturally a pacafist....

kinda sad... you'd think you've found the perfect person when it's far from the case.... he's mentally ill v.v

picture time: dominic's other side is represented as the cruel devilish creature ...another hallucination. It's what speaks to him.. he hears it tell him to let it free and take him over...but i'm playing off the fact that some people believe vampires to need an INVITATION to enter a home or room... dominic invites ..and revokes his "other" side constantly... when he ignores it he's revoking it but once he listens to the voices he can be controlled. :V He would need much of therapy...but nothing can cure a schizophrenic..it's sad... but he has to live with it

P.S.: the other side of the mirror.. the demon side is clawing at the mirror and if you notice the wrists they're cut and sliced.. why? ..when dominic was 11 he started hearing the voices and one day while his mother was away they told him to get the scissors out of the drawer and use them... to make nicolai happy is what they told him...and he listened and did so... he couldn't die of course....but they're scars that healed but emotionally can never ever heal :V so they're there as a reminder

;.; Awww, poor Domi... I can't believe I never saw this pic in your gallery before. ...e.e And then I left, and came back because I had to look at it again. Iz so pretty and feelingful--characters with mental illnesses make me tick xD--and I have to fave it. Joyful older pics.

Lez, first of all, you can't listen to too much Down with the sicknes. ^_^ I always thought a lot about that part of the song. Listening, singing, and thinking all at once! That must be a record! World Records Book, here I come! teehee

Back to seriousness...(why would I want to do that?...^_^) I LIKE it! Ooh, and I learned more about Domi. Hey, he's Jenna's right? How come she gets him!? humph. *folds arms* ^_^

Oh my god. To think that Domanic, the one that's always smiling has this kind of illness. It's kind of scary. Poor Domanic. I so wish that I could do something...

Anyway, I like the perspective and idea you used in this picture! I like how you used all pencil in this~

This deserves a fav.

Yah, kinda is my ironic twist to the term "no one's perfect", because it's true~..well it's hard to help a schizophrenic~ because the voices never stop XD; all he needs is just to know he's loved i guess~ because all they tell him is that he isn't~ and he becomes violent~

:3 thank you! X3

fave! :B thanks more!

I like how you illustrate the mood with heavy pressured marks!
Violence can result from such illness and it's really worrying that usually the victims are the ppl close to you.

loosley In reply to maiyeng [2004-06-23 22:55:41 +0000 UTC]

indeed... which is why they're aaall worried cause they ALL are ill... ivan and raven with extreme depression (depression is an illness! very serious!) and dominic with undifferentiated schizophrenia... the poor people~
Thank you :3 ..i love making it darker with the photoshop though...give more darkness in the feeling >

you're messed up ... the evil domi = violent, cruel, blood thirsty and his incubus... okay so the incubus parts a pro...only for "fun" but ... ; thinking about it...releasing that incubus part also releases the bloodthirsty, cruel violent nature... it's impressive if he can sustain some other aspects ;;;...kinda hard

:V but no! do not fall for the evil! it's not cool at all! tis MEAN
