I wasn’t completely happy with my past avatars, so made me a new one. I also seriously wanted to stop changing avatars like crazy… so this one is based on the real-life me. Of course, I look like a human! But my signature features are all here now, in this image. You could say that I finally struck a good balance between my inner self-perception and physical reality.
So, here my chaotic, shape-shifting, wild nature meets the real me. I tried to keep the colors as close to real-life counterparts as possible (eye color, hair color, skin color), but of course I exaggerated the tones a tiny bit. I used to draw my avatar’s eyes as green, when in reality they’re warm-grey which looks green-ish in the blue sky light… The image is obviously cartoonized, too :3
The shadow dragon snake represents the male part of my mind (not manifested in physicality, since I’m a woman). It’s my hidden advisor, the Yang to my Yin. I feel that it was important to depict how I feel this part of me… And I’m also happy that I reached inner harmony at last.
