Demons Within

So this is a picture that I created for my tumblr OC Erika Adelaide.

It's meant to show her trails with getting through every day life, and the past that she has had to deal with over time.

The most important thing of the picture is the thing that stands out the most; the snake/dragon/weird formless creature in the background that seems to wrap itself around her. This actually characterizes the "Formless" as she calls them, or beings born of negativity that feed off of said negativity. This particular formless has taken the "shape" of a snake, symbolizing the crippleing anxiety and fear that Erika feels every day. These feelings constrict her, limit what she can and can't do, and make it hard for her to move around normally, as if a boa constrictor was wrapped around her.

The knife symbolizes the bloody past she has, but also the shining future she may have at some point in her culinary career.

I'm extremely proud of this piece, and wanted to show it off here as well as tumblr. So here, have a tramatizing cupcake girl~
