I REALLY don't think I'm done with this but I've been meaning to submit it for a while now, so when I AM done I'll post the revised version, and perhaps a better quality picture of it since I wasn't in the mood to patch parts of it together in my scanner that just isn't big enough to fit anything that's 9x12". But since I don't think it's done, I never signed it yet. I'll see what happens.

Basically I've been upset with pretty much everyone around me for the past month or so, myself in particular. After some stupid incident that happened last week, I spent about two hour or so (lol only 2 hours, fml) hacking this out since I had this idea in my head for my new concentration theme. Of course the idea turns out to be completely different from the finished product.
Seven deadly sins isn't something I'd think would get me a good score because it's not a theme that can be developed over time, and simply put: dark, depressing, and cryptic gives you the highest score possible on the AP, or at least from what I've been seeing from a lot of people. So my new theme, for lack of better wording, is basically everything that I want to express out loud that I really can't because of whatever is going on at the moment. It has to do with emotion, hence the whole overkill with the blood thing in this one (the nosebleed was a complete accident, it happened when I turned the block over I swear lol). I'll let you draw your own conclusions about the meaning, I already know what it is myself but still.

Sorry for the overly long face, I abused my artistic license and disregarded facial anatomy aside from the eye. Plus I like doing drips and abusing the salt, so I think I'll mess around with watercolors more often for fun. I need to make up a few concentrations anyway since I'm now officially four or so behind. Oh well. This was technically my final, the teacher says I'm done, she checked me off anyway. Also I'm not sure if it's me so don't ask.

MATERIALS USED: Charcoal (mostly black but some white used for touch ups), watercolors, and salt on cold-press watercolor block.
FAKE materials used: Tears (which did nothing but make the paper damp), gravity, and air.
