Description Who am i? Am i real or just a shell? I don't know...I don't know myself anymore. I'm feeling like myself is breaking into thousand splinters and disappear...So can someone tell me who i am before i can remember myself anymore?

It's the opposite from my picture "identities" . It's about calling yourself into question. Are YOU playing a role or are you the real yourself. I had a lot of moments where i asked myself who am i? What should i do? What's my place in this world...and i still don't have any answers to these questions. orz



btw. english is not my first language so if there are any grammar mistakes please overlook them, unless it's a BIG mistake XDDD than plz correct me XDDDD ._.

so as usually i'm now delivering newspaper

tools: SAI + Photoshop CS4
time: 2 h

How do you do these amazing artwork? xD

I tried once to draw but it doesn't look like the ones I see here in DA. I wanted to draw like the linearts being invisible like this artwork...

It reminds me a bit of an elf... They are said to have hollow backs where they carry their children... Also it means that they have no soul

I love all of your works, but this is the one that really hits home for me.

"In life, you lie, it's an obvious fact. You lie to protect yourself or others, but those lies coat you and create a shell.

Until that's all you now of yourself; the act you play for the people around you."

I often feel like that.. Trapped in this fleshy body, keeping my soul trapped in a shell.. what is my purpose? I don't know.. and probably never will.

When find yourself a shell, piece yourself together and fill that shell till it bursts and you see you.

Rihei [2010-11-01 09:56:01 +0000 UTC]

I like the color and the effect that you make with the shell breaking into pieces. The black of the shell with the red when it breaks and all this in contrast with the background that notices the silhouette of the girl. "I think that "notice" is not the word, but I didn't find better translation"
