OK... so... PHEW ok... this is that super emotional piece I was talking about. The one I was talking about having a hard time posting. BUT, I"m drunk and at a friends house, so it seems like the best time. XD
ok, so where to start? So, lets talk about the emotional meaning behind my beast form. While alot of things influenced my beast form (like my love for were-wolves), alot of it is also very personal. And I didn"t realize this till alot later in my character"s life.
All of my characters have ended up being based off of my own personality. I think everyone does this in a way, even if they don"t realize it. I feel the more you understand about yourself, the more you"ll understand what your characters mean to you as a person. I realized that alot in the last year about Beast Max. I realized he represents a big part of my life. A very dark part of my life, but something I must accept. I have alot of stress in my life, and it causes alot of problems for me personally. Most of it comes from my job. Like, 60% of it. But alot of other parts of my life are stressful. Anyway, without getting into personal details, lets just say that I have to be very emotionally strong to deal with all this.
A little too emotionally strong. I feel it causes me to shut down emotionally and bottle up alot of stuff to stay sane. Most of it anger and frustration. And thus, I think my mind gave birth to my Beast form though my imagination and suppressed stress and anger. Since a fursona represents yourself, my beast form represented the anger inside my own self I repress till it bursts out into a massive beast full of anger and sorrow. A beast that doesn"t want to be a monster. A monster that just wants to be happy. A beast that wants to be free of the curse of his own life.
So yeah, pretty heavy shit, huh? Well, it"s a pretty heavy piece of art. The way Neo did this made all those realizations stand in the light for me, and hopefully to you. The big idea behind art is to express emotion to others, something speach has yet to master. The feeling, sorrow, anger and regret you see in this drawing is from me. It means everything to me, and shows who I truely am right now in my life. Everyone has a dark side. No one is perfect, and I am no exception. I work hard emotionally and physically for the day I can be at peace and calm the beast inside me.

Ever since I could remember,
Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in (oh oh oh oh)
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn"t settle in (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn"t dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I"m only a man with a candle to guide me,
I"m taking a stand to escape what"s inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I"ve turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I"m different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it"s made it"s home inside (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn"t dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I"m only a man with a candle to guide me,
I"m taking a stand to escape what"s inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I"ve turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
I"m only a man with a chamber who"s got me,
I"m taking a stand to escape what"s inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I"ve turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.

I've done numerous comparative commissions like this before which are emotional fiction. He's not actually been cloned or anything. It's about battles with one's own self. Emotional and personal battles.
i always enjoy stuff like this. To basically face the other side of yourself
Wow dude this is awesome, from where I start? it is a nice art work and the song matched it verynicely done, neodokuro may have done the art but this is more than that, it is full of your fellings and your life experience, something very impresive and inspirational, becase all that you put in that description is very personal and is needed a lot of courage for u to post this here, well done u have my apretiation and support
Oh, sorry, I thought you were asking if you could ask a question.
And thank you so much. Really wonderful to get that kinda support. I'm glad someone can appreciate what the client brings to a commissions as well. :)

wow such stunning work the light shine really adds to it and this song makes its breath taking you can really feel his pain
You should talk to someone like myself that's transgendered and came from a very dysfunctional and abusive family life.
So to me your art has a lot of personal meaning as well. Great work by the way.
HUGGGGGGZ femm

It's very touching and tragic. I like how the artist brought out a lot of serious emotional pain in this drawing as well as the handling of lighting and anatomy. I myself can relate due to my own problems negative feelings and expierences, as well as my painful battles with my bipolar illness.
I know the feeling- this piece shows exactly how you and I deal with our anger; by building up up until it just bursts into fury then sorrow.
I hope your okay know :)
I hope your okay know :)
Ooooh, man, I can relate. This is heavy with emotion, but awesome at the same time. I should get one of these someday.
Thank you for sharing this personal information. I know it's not easy, but there are a lot of people out there who can relate. You're far from alone, and we're all here for you. We're there for each other. I never thought much about this sort of thing coming out in my art, but there's so much of it and I haven't put any of it up online. For me, it was "Lycaon". He was a concentration of my anger, my sadness, and my fear. I've come so far in understanding and accepting myself for who and what I am, and it's felt like an eternity, but I forget about the monster I had with me back then. I think you've inspired me to bring it back into the light; to remember things we honestly want to forget, even though they are as much a part of ourselves as anything else.
I agree we all have our beasts and some are greater than others i can empathise with you though i have similar problems
