The reflection is not my own, but it is just as much a part of me.
Awesome arts commissioned from the very purple  Tikara

Those who know me have already been through all of this for a long while now... In fact it seems like I was the one who held the longest grudge over it. Whiskers is a creation of mine, over the years she has become a sort of muse for me, the incarnation of my creativity and playfulness... Along with Zaia who is a representation my real self (not including physical appearance obviously), down-to-earth, self-conscious, intimate, even highly insecure at times... These two characters have come to symbolize two halves of my psyche. However it has been thrown out of balance rather violently for the longest while...

Years ago, I ended up taking Whiskers WAY too far... Made people believe she was who I really was, and took advantage of those around me. Over the last two years, I gradually revealed what I had done to those I felt I had wronged... some of them even still talk to me today.

I had sworn to never take advantage of people again in such a way, and vowed never to lie like I did again. In doing so, I think I attempted to fully suppress the half of my psyche that Whiskers represents, and fell into some pretty hard times emotionally. It's been over a year since it all 'fell apart', and though I still find myself a little unbalanced, I think I'm starting to understand and accept certain things... I know I did some pretty bad stuff using Whiskers... but completely suppressing her hasn't been helping me at all...

She's still very much a part of who I am, along with Zaia... They're two sides of the same coin, and things can only become balanced again if they work together... I apologize for the weird psychological rant, but I felt that this picture hits pretty close to what I feel on the subject...

For the trivia fans out there, this is a recreation of a scene from a certain animated film that also involves various happenings around someone's imaginary counter-part gaining a life of their own. Feel free to guess, or ask what it is.
Once again, thank you so much for drawing this for me,  Tikara
