Symbolism or just art? :O

symbolic. most of my personal art is :/

And you'd rather I not try to figure it out?

go ahead if you want to try and figure it out, but i'm afraid i can't quite put an explanation into words

Well... would I be right that they both symbolize parts of yourself?

they're both my two sona's, so i guess so

So then is it you trying to reject some part of yourself?

that's where i can't put it into words.
i mean, it is, but at the same time, it isn't.

I'm more lost about the significance of scenery. more or less what that would symbolize about the two, if it has symbolism at all.

well, i say this and be all cryptic: the one on the left is ximena's regular version, the gargoyle. the one being shot is ximena's hyena version.

I knew exactly what they were. :P I have a theory but I don't want to say it for fear it would offend if wrong.

say what you want. it would take something pretty intense to offend me, so don't worry about that

Well it's hard for me to put to words, but I'll try.

In the past, when her hyena form was accused of being 'furry' your instant response was to retreat to gargoyle Ximena.

Going off that, perhaps you've had issues with furry accusations from yourself to yourself and so you've allowed Hyena Ximena to represent that part (the 'furry' part) of you, and you are trying to 'kill' her through or by clinging to Gargoyle Ximena.

Of course, Hyena Ximena could represent any unwanted part of yourself, but that's a relation that you firmly established in my head during that stream. ^^;

I could be waaaaaaaaay off but it's the best I could come up with. *shrugs*

that sounds right....all except the whole "furry" thing. I'm not rejecting my "furry half", cuz I don't have one :/
Hyena!Ximena is linked to....someone else, while Gargoyle!Ximena is the truest version to myself. That part you got down, but it's not necessarily an "unwanted" part

Like I said, furry was an assumption based on a connection from a prior stream. Nothing more. And I didn't say you had a furry half, I said you may have been accusing yourself of being one and so decided by 'killing' her you'd put those accusations to rest.

Regardless, it doesn't matter as it was incorrect either way.

As for not being unwanted, if that's the case why reject it?

I don't really know why for sure....I had just kinda felt at the time that it was almost compromising my truest self. Or something like that, I can't exactly put thoughts to words :/

Ah well. What's passed is passed. :) I hope you've been feeling better about such things the past month?

Yeah, sorry about just kinda dropping off the face of the earth ^^; I've been busy, and then FA isn't one of my "regular" sites either >.>
But yeah, I've totally gotten over whatever funk I was in when I first drew this. Totally, totally feeling better~
