The name of this piece is called "War of the Fragile Heart". It was inspired by the last piece, from which I am dealing with the time that transpired between series one and two. I wanted to look into not only his mind state, but also his heart or his will to live due to the circumstances that transpired. In the picture, we see inside of the man's body being entered by a black hand. The black hand would belong to one of the reapers that was shown in series one. The difference in this hand is the light spots which are made to be boils, demonstrating that the hand is an infection to the body. The hand seeks to destroy the last remaining life that he has. The man that is within the body is a representation of his soul, which is fighting for the heart that is being taken out of his chest. The soul's color is gray and he has black marks over his body to show the strain the hand is putting him through. He is also gray to show in a since that he is dying; the soul has no vibrancy therefore his will to sustain his own life is dwindling. He struggles to fight for the heart that he has left. I find personally in life, that sometimes trials & tribulations seek to destroy your will, when it has stripped you of everything else. The only options left are to either give in/die or to fight with what you have left to survive the destroying of ones soul. The drawing was done in pencil and was outlined in Illustrator. The coloring of the heart and boils were done in Illustrator. The soul, hand, and background were done with prisma-color pencils.
