I Started This Picture About A Month Ago, It Is A Repeated Figure I Go To When I Am Bored And Dont Know What To Draw. "The Metal Jellyfish" Is Made Up Of Three Skeleton Heads Encased In A Membrane With Several Entwined Snake-Like Tendrils Eminating From The Bottom Of The Membrane. However, These Pictures Are Rarely Fishished Because Of The Tediousness Of Drawing 30 Long Thin Snakes And Because Of Utter Lack Of Interest From Observers, However A Friend Of Mine Named HEATHER Expressed Interest In The Latest Version Of This Piece And Asked If I Would Give It To Her. Since I Have Ten Of Them All Very Different Looking I Of Course Obliged On The Condition (Among Others) That She Let Me Finish It Before I Gave It To Her Next Time We Saw One Another, She Agreed And We Made An Appointment To Meet The Following Day So My Work Was Cut Out For Me. Finish The Damned Thing In One Day, I Could Do It. The Jellyfish Was Already Pretty Much Done, Just Waiting On A Background And Some Snake Detail. But Because I Wanted To Make The Best Impression Possible I Decided To Utilize All Of My Drawing Abilities To Make This One Of My Best. After Eight Extra Hours And Polishing Off Two Micron 02's It Is Done. Composition Wise: Because Of The Phallic Look Of The Jellyfish (A Wide Head And A Thinner Elongated Bottom, And Of Course The Snakes.) I Decided To Put Him In A Magical World Of Psychedelic Flowers And Swans. In The Two Upper Corners A Trio Of Chrysanthemums Explode At Sharp Angles While In The Center Above The Urethra Of The Jellyfish A Stylized Flower Eminates Dramatically From A Circle Of Negative Space. Below The Chrysanthemums A Large Ammount Of Stylized Cherry Blossoms Envelope The Sides Of The Jellyfish. Below The Blossoms At The Level Of The Snakes, Sparse Orchids Hang Down Against A Stark Black Background On Fantastic Stems That Jut Off To Several Angles Much Unlike Real Stems Would Act. Below The Orchids And Snakes Six White Swans Swim On Black Water Where Their Images Are Reflected. Some Of The Swans Interact With The Snakes, Some Are Oblivious To The Giant Psychedelic Monster Overhead. The Complete Coverage Of Most Negative Space And Small Crosshatch Lines Seem To Give The Drawing An Overly Detailed Look. The Top Half With All Of Its Flowers Looks Very Much Like An Etching Of A Strong Visual Acid Trip. Now I Have To Give This Thing Up. Well, I Wouldnt Have Finished If Someone Hadnt Taken Interest. And I Certainly Wouldnt Have Spent Ten Hours Finishing It If The Girl Wasnt So Utterly Beautiful. Hopefully This Drawing Sets A Precedent For How Capable I Am To Create, And Will Really Give Her An Idea Of Who Shes Dealing With.
