Gahhhh I'm so proud of those LIMBS. I can never get limbs right, and I actually like these.
I drew one of them, and then lightboxed a reflected version onto another piece of paper to draw the other one.
So, on the left, we have Autumn. As I said in my other picture of her, she's dead. She gave herself a bullet to the temple. But she still pretends that she's alive. There are those she loves who still want her to live, despite her wishes. She doesn't want to hurt them.
On the right here is Summer. Autumn was Summer before she shot herself.
Summer.
+Angel
+Golden Orange with White markings.
+Large feathered angel wings are stitched with tethers, and cannot be used.
+Cloth wrapped around eyes and ears. Thus, she is practically blind and deaf.
+"7" on tail.
+Seven shackles with chains connecting them, with a weighted ball holding them. Four on her ankles and one on her neck, muzzle and tail. She cannot speak because of the muzzle shackle.
+Seven cross marks. One on each leg and ear, and one between her shoulders.
+Her heart is carried around outside of her body. It is wrapped tightly in locked cords. She can barely feel anything because it is not physically connected to her.
Autumn.
+Demi-Ghost
+Gray with Black markings.
+Having to stay in the world of the living has made her body start to decompose. She lost her color, she is sickly thin, and the flesh has rotted off of her spine.
+Blood drips from her gunshot wound.
+When she shot herself, her halo fell off and lost it's glow, and her wings shriveled and fell off as well. To disguise this, she stitched cloth wings to her shoulders, and created an ornate mask to hide her gunshot wound and to hold her halo up.
+Her mask is white, with six strings of purple beads on it. (In this picture, the sixth string is on the other side of her muzzle, like a halter.) On one string there is a single fire-colored feather.
+One hanging earring, two studs connected to the first with strings, and two industrials.
+She is a demi, or half ghost, and her ghost spirit floats from the tip of her tail like smoke.
+She was blinded for so long that her pupils have disappeared. She can see, but it can be very difficult much of the time.
+"6" on tail.
+Six shackles with broken chains dragging from them. Four on her ankles, and one on her neck and tail. The only unbroken chain is the one connecting the weighted ball to her tail shackle.
+6 pentacle marks. One on each leg and ear.
+The shackle has come off of her muzzle. However, she has wrapped string around her muzzle. She can speak, but it is difficult.
+She has put her heart where it belongs, in her chest. So instead, she carries around a decoy heart of plastic, so as to look like nothing has changed.

I see the message here, and it is so very true.
Yet, people will fight tooth and nail to say otherwise.
Very nice art work. I like the limbs, too. ^.^
I really like how your drew their ears. I'm a sucker for big floppy ears. :3

very detailed, visually stunning, but the message here is a little unclear to me.
although, if you told me, it would probably be something stunningly similar to my friend asmo's philosophical spewings.
also, just to be a literalist, how did she shoot herself if she couldnt hold the gun?
