Vita Dolce.

As promised, I'd show the finalized work for the drawing below...

And, here it is!

Vita Dolce - italian for "sweet life" or "good life". It is one of the tattoos he has on his arm, and it must be something everyone is working towards consciously or sub-consciously.

I figured that, upon reaching this "vita dolce", not only does one have to go thru several phases, but sometimes when they get to tired, it often results in the release of the "other" unseen side of themselves, be it good or bad.
-
In this picture, my intension was actually to show how there are often different sides to things, in this case, different sides to people. The one who may seem to be bubbly and cheerful could very well have this inner "demon" in them that's just desperate to come out. However, it'll be pretty daunting to others if they just suddenly change their behaviors and become a totally different person. Hence many would prefer to just express their "inner demons" in artistic ways, such as in their music, artworks, or anything else, really.
-
Well, at least, that's my interpretation of things. Maybe I'm like that. And maybe I'm not. ;)
-
Anyway, the picture didn't really turn out to be what I really wanted it to be. Sorta haven't fully expressed the "feeling". It looks weird. :( But I guess I shouldn't spend so much time on it since there are lots of exam revisions to be done lately.
Maybe I will do something more when I finally become jobless again :)

But for now, see ya!
