Description This is an entry for 's contest!

The challenge was to create an image for this song ----> [link] with your OC and put a description in the comments.

So here's my description:

Alemeth is someone who lives in this world of duality.

He only sees two sides in things. This idea was insinuated by his mother, who gave him the idea he is flawed and could very easily go the wrong side if he didn't do what was right. So as a child he lived in this constant fear of being sent to hell or living a miserable life based on one bad decision. That caused him to question EVERYTHING.

Early in his adulthood something happened (not gonna say what though!), that caused his world to flip upside down. He left for a while and sat in a hotel room for days considering the possibilities of what will happen from that point on. His thoughts volleyed back and forth and he came to a conclusion that led him back out into the world.


To me, the song "Insanity" is someone internally tearing themselves apart, not just someone who is literally insane. I think, after tearing oneself apart and finding the raw "human" inside of one's self one can rebuild themselves into a healthier more apt being. But that's me getting deep.


ART WISE: Kind of went out of the box on this. I took more time to do this than I should have but WHATEVER. I wanted to go with something more realistic just to bring a heavier feel to it. There's several symbolism of dualism in here and I tried to stray away from the obvious one's sooo I'll let you figure them out.


LASTLY, Oingo Boingo has been one of my favorite bands since middle school. So they have a big hand in my influence and I can confidently say this is the perfect song for this character.

Back to work I go!

EDIT: I was wondering where my grey- scale shading went. Fixed now!

I love the very traditional look of this piece and the feel I get from it, as though I really understand the character. The blur effect on the left is also very cool.
