Mouth of Pain

(Originally uploaded to DeviantArt)

One of my first drawings using a tablet. And also one of my first works that i believe to be somewhat presentable. It's obviously easier if you don't have to regard anatomy for what you're drawing.

But what is this thing? Some sort of amalgamation of multiple people, merged whit some bizarre organism? There are some smaller creatures crawling inside...

EDIT 2025-12-26:

One can't really go further back than this, because it is the first drawing I ever posted online.

It's hardly a pretty motive, but this was also long before I had any clear idea what exactly I wanted to do with drawing. The ideas I eventually got, would also change over time, again and again.

I'm a megalomanic at heart. So I always dream of absurdly large mountains to climb. The pursuit of drawing was an especially large one. And compared to my other ambitions, one were you can easily compare yourself to others, and get demotivated because of it. The difference in skill can be very wide and obvious.

But now, many year later, I'm at it again. More diligent than ever before. Maybe I can make my original dream a reality one day. The dream that back in 2015(?) put me on this very path in the first place.
