"All the games I play... will make me INVINCIBLE."


I won't join one group
I won't rank myself,
Gain royalty,
Nor camouflage
I will become:
E V E R Y T H I N G

---> Yeaaaaah:

UHM, first I want to say I went overboard with ANYTHING possible in this piece. I probably should apologize for that, but it was way too much fun;;

I aimed at making a pretty portrait at first, but psycho pieces are wayyyyy more fun to do.

So yeah, I know I went overboard. But seeing it was fun to do, it doesn't matter, right?

Second, I wanted to say I put a lot of symbolism into this; mainly involving cards. I love cards after all;;

It would be no fun to just say what this all is about. So I'll give some hints:

<sub>- The heart and diamond in her eyes.
- The spade and club on her shoulders.
- Her chest says "Joker".
- The suits in general.
- The stitches.
- The cross on her face.
- The swirls in the background.
- The fact she is an animal should count too.</sub>


The 'poem' also has to do with the symbolism, of course. I'll just tell you what the lines all relate to:

_{Line 1: The 4 different suits.
Line 2: The number cards.
Line 3: Courtcards (even though Jack is not royalty.. right?).
Line 4: Ace (it can be seen as 1 or 11 in Black Jack).
Line 5 & 6: Joker. In the games I know a Joker can: change the current suit, force a person to grab an extra 5 cards (or worse) or even become any card it wants to be. I see it as the most powerful card of the deck.}


---> Extra:

This is actually a pretty old piece. It's older than a month already;;

---> To end this:

THIS DESCRIPTION IS SO DARN LONG.

Also, this is not a vent.. but you could probably interpret it as one seeing it relates a lot to what I went through for a long time xD;;
