Materia Artistica: Brush Pens and pigma microns
Reffernces: None really but a lot of symbolism in it
Notes: this was drawn during a time of building continueing stress in my life with family deathes and finicail problesm and relationship issues and living space issues and all manner of crap. and i was listening to Veteran of the Psychich Wars by Blue Oyster Cult when i finally drew this. the staff he holds is a Shakajo staff which is a buddhist implement with the rings signifieing hells one has already passed through. three of the rings have broken off due to simply not being up to the standard fo the hell he is in right then, the design on the hadn flower is a engram which is a symbol of personailty note it is broken as well signifing a snap in the psyche, his necklace is a laberynth design. long held as a symbol of the souls journey and a meditation symbol it too is cracked. His eyes reflect a battle ground unseen and his grip is so tight his bleeds form the hands scars markl his ears. this is form about 2001
