Dan's Art

Man it has been a long time since I posted anything. I wanted to apologize for that, things have been hectic. Especially with University but through all that I've been doing a lot of self discovery and realized I'm not one person, but actually six (plus a train of thoughts). Most people might think it's Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID or Multiple Personality Disorder) but that's not what I have. After talking to a therapist about this she's helped me see that they're just different parts of me. I knew it wasn't DID to begin with since I didn't have blank memories. It took awhile but after trying to listen to my different parts I figured out who they are and their own stories. Most have their own tastes of music and that has helped me a lot in figuring out on who they are, what they do and what they're like. So below I their bios as well as a short story of them and how they came to be. This is right to left.

Name: Love and Memories

Nickname: Rose

Likes: Listening to Maroon 5 and songs about love. Look back at happy memories. Giving Lillies or Bonsai Trees to friends.

Bio: Love has been around a long time, he's the second longest persona that existed. When he's around he doesn't care what to wear. When he's present he likes to go back and remember both the good and bad in my life. He has a deeper understanding between a good relationship and a bad relationship. The vines represent a current relationship I have, weather it's a friendship or family relations. When the vines are mostly thorns rather than flowers it means the relationship is toxic and should be fixed. If there are more flowers than thorns then the relationship is healthy. The point where the toxicity has gotten really bad is when the rose on his right eye begins to wither. Whenever we get friends he symbolically gives said friend either a lily or Bonsai tree since these require lots of care, love and patience just like a real friendship. Love isn't too hesitant about forming new bonds but only after a certain amount of time. He's not shy but most people would assume since he doesn't speak much, but in reality he just doesn't know how to communicate well and worries it might come out wrong, misunderstood or offensive.

Name: Beast

Nickname: ---

Likes: Feeding off my insecurities and taunting me

Bio: Beast is a dangerous persona that requires me to have full control of what goes on. Beast can control the other personas. For example Beast can make Love rewind traumatic memories and leave me feeling paralyzed. He is the embodiment of negativity and he enjoys seeing me suffer. If I'm not careful he can and will slowly crawl up behind me. Starting with small whispers of insecurities then building on until he's shouting taunts at me. Shouting all my fears, my worries and my worthlessness to the point of crying.

Name: Hurt

Nickname: Wolf

Likes: Listening to Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Katy Perry and any type of strengthing music. Wearing rings and bracelets.

Bio: Hurt carries a lot of scars and wounds on him that represent emotional and mental scars and wounds I carry. He doesn't mind showing them off, he actually finds them empowering. To him it shows not only what he's been through but even through all that he's still here. Hurt isn't afraid aside from Beast. Beast is the only thing that scares him. Hurt also doesn't mind crying, it just means he's human like everyone else. When he's around he lets me cry when I need to but also reminds me that there's always a better tomorrow. That whatever is going on in my life doesn't mean the world is going to end and this experience is only going to make me stronger. Hurt's nickname comes from his ability to change into a wolf. The form represents the pride he has for being able to continue walking down this path dispite the curveballs life has thrown at us. Hurt is very wary of new people and doesn't open up on the spot. Though he's very kind and is willing to comfort people who are hurting. He always puts other people ahead of himself. The cracked eye shows that Hurt's soul is part broken, since the eyes are the windows to the soul. The cracked has a tendency to bleed every now and then and because of the cracked eye his perspective is warped. What caused the cracked eye is something Hurt doesn't want to talk about or explain.

Name: Ying & Yang

Nickname: Unity

Likes: Listening to NoCopyrightSounds (NCS) and other types of beat music. Wearing a black hoodie.

Bio: Yang has a deep understanding for human behavior and human emotions but doesn't understand his own. When he's around I just have a strong emotion of movement and color. Yang is very powerful, he can alter my reality. He helps me see different perspectives. Yang also has a different side called Ying. Yang is calm, collective and uses his ability to make my day brighter. Ying is a bit more unstable, he changes my reality in order to escape it. Ying doesn't always show up but when he does it's often from stress and a sense of lack of control. Unlike Yang, Ying doesn't see color. He only sees static black and white. This static helps calm my mind by focusing on less. Ying is also chaotic and makes me go through healthy mental breakdowns. Though Ying's mind is also disturbing compared to Yang's. Ying doesn't mind listening to twisted music and watching gorey movies.

Name: Smart Alec

Nickname: Yukio

Likes: Listening to lo-fi and reading music. Reading fiction books. Peace and quiet whenever possible.

Bio: Alec is the first persona to be around, he only focuses on school and is always planning ahead. He rarely makes me forget to do HW. Alec would often scare me into doing HW fast and early. Though it pays off. He loves reading especially the Wings of Fire series. The combination of music and reading helps keep him immersed into the world. He's often very technical and often likes to argue with science. He's all about the facts and research, he sees educating one's self is important especially with the type of world he's in this time around. He's hardworking and studying whenever it's necessary. He use to push me to my limits but is now more lenient and doesn't make me overdo it when it comes to studying. He's not really too comfortable in crowds and prefers to be with a small group or being alone. He doesn't mind a challenge, in fact he actually welcomes it. Alec doesn't see any reason for emotions and he lacks a lot of emotion himself. Although he doesn't see it as bad he does see it as a burden, especially if when I'm upset but there's a task to be done. Though he encourages me to do said task, like he always says: Once you hit rock bottom, the only way now is up.

Name: Creativity

Nickname: Twilight

Likes: Listening to Alan Walker, Zedd and any upbeat music, but mostly music in general. Drawing and painting, especially adding a new drawings to my bedroom walls. Playing videogames, mostly JRPGs. Wearing hoodies and comfortable clothes.

Bio: Creativity likes to turn Yang's vision of colors into meaning. He often translates those colors into drawings. The same goes when he listens to music. When he's around he always compeles me to draw even if it's late. He gives me a drive to continue drawing. He also looks out for my wellbeing by helping me balance between downtime and chores. Creativity is also the one who gave the other personas nicknames. He's mostly shy but that shyness doesn't stay around when he's playing competitively. He won't hesitate to pick up a controller when it comes to games such as Smash Bros. Playing games helps with the ongoing stresses in life but also helps spark new ideas. Creativity also likes to world building and create new characters for his world building. He's always positive and helps me through my hard times by drawing vent art. Creativity is a Walker fan himself, if you're curious he's Walker #37804.

Name: Lust

Nickname: Blaze

Likes: Listening to Ke$ha, Avril Lavigne, Green Day and any type of party music. Think about sex as a means to relieve anger, frustration or irritation. Wearing multiple necklaces and high tops.

So I finished Stanger Things and I really like the show so far. It's pretty well done so I decided to change my OC Annabel especially since I figured it was time I gave her an update. So now she's part of the Stanger Things universe with another character, Wendi.

Name: Annabel

Experiment Number: 012

Age: 15

Height: 4'8"

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Purple

Bio: Annabel was an orphan since her parents didn't want her. She lived in the orphanage for no more than two years and was lured away where she was then kidnapped and held in a government facility. At the time she had no idea what was happening and they began experimenting on her at the age of 8. She could often overhear that they wanted to push her to her limit of what she could do with her mind. After being injected with various drugs and substances she earned two types of powers. The ability to move objects and the ability to read minds. Anna would often listen to a family nearby about what they thought about themselves and others. Over time she began to figure out where she was wasn't normal or acceptable. By the time she was 12 she planned her escape and was successful. Once she escaped she came across a creature she had never see before. The creature spoke to her in his language and by reading his mind she was able to grasp that the creature was not there to hurt her. The creature guided her back to where he was staying, in an abandoned treehouse. She then named the creature Wendi, short for Wendigo. The two lived in the treehouse for the next year and a half when the agents from the lab finally tried tracking her down. Wendi took her to the town of Hawkins, Indiana where they encountered Eleven and Hopper as they tried raiding the cabin for food and supplies.

Stranger Things (c) Netflix

No I'm not dead I've just been busy for the longest time. I can't guarantee I'll be posting since I plan to go into the work force over the summer. But lately I've been reading a Webtoon called Castle Swimmer and I ended up creating an OC for it. So enjoy this!

Name: Dagger "Cutthroat" Ridley

Sex: Female

Gender: Male

Height w/ Tail: 7'3"

Scale Color: Black

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Brown

Age: 20

Bio: Dagger was born in the Shark Kingdom just like all the other Sharks. His parents quickly picked up that Dagger wasn't a 'she' but a he when he turned five. Dagger is smart, swift and has an interest for traveling. Even though he was taught about the curse that plagues him and the others, Dagger never let the curse be the reason he fails. He always turned it as an opportunity to learn and become stronger. Rather than blaming the curse he would instead critique himself. Finding new ways to become better and in doing so he's been able to avoid major injures. Keeping his scars to a minimum, he's also learned how to turn broken items into useful tools or weapons. He would also try to sneak into the castle where Siren was often at. He would often go to the Bait Hall and try to make small talk with the prince. Just like most of the other male sharks he also fell for Siren. Dagger could tell that Siren was slowly distancing himself from others and knew why. Though he always tried his best to check up on Siren whenever possible and provide whatever support he could give.

At the age of 18 he left the castle to travel and see the world beyond the shark territory. The first few weeks were harsh as on day one he lost his eye to a broken wood from a ship as he tried to get away from a swarm of Humboldt Squid. For awhile he struggled to hunt but quickly learned some techniques from other sea creatures. Dagger never slept in the same place twice and would often visit other kingdoms to trade whatever goods he had with others. The golden choker was given to him by another traveler who claims that it would protect him from curses as long as he wore it. Dagger never believed it but still got the choker based on how beautiful it looked. Over time many people started calling him Cutthroat Ridley mainly for his strict attitude. Many believed that his scars were from battles and arguments Dagger had been in. Dagger is also kind, giving food to starving people he came by and treating wounds.

Dagger has also earned a reputation of someone not to mess with, he always carries his daggers and first aid in the pouch. Slowly he's gotten physically stronger and learned to fight without much struggle. He's been in few relationships but all ended with the same issue; Dagger never settled in one place which would cause a strain in most relationships. So he stopped going into relationships until he thought he could actually keep it. Dagger sometimes wonders how Siren is doing and if the prophecy was ever real. Or if it was all made up to give the sharks a false sense of hope.

Sorry for the lack of updates and art lately but I’ve been really busy, so I thought that maybe I should post this old black and white drawing. I hope maybe I can draw more during the summer. I should at least explain this drawing before I go, so this is drawing of me. From what I see and what my parents see.

Just a redraw of my old Human!Bill, I didn’t like the headshape in the other one so I decided to redraw him again with a different headshape and style.

THE NEW DARK MASTER

I don't know why You want to follow me tonight When the rest of the world With whom I've crossed and I've quarreled Lets me down so For a thousand reasons that I know To share forever the unrest With all the demons I possess Beneath the silver moon Maybe you were right But baby I was lonely I don't want to fight I'm tired of being sorry Eighth and Ocean Drive With all the vampires and their brides We're all bloodless and blind And longing for a life Beyond the silver moon Maybe you were right But baby I was lonely I don't want to fight I'm tired of being sorry I'm standing in the street Crying out for you No one sees me But the silver moon So far away - so outer space I've trashed myself - I've lost my way I've got to get to you got to get to you Maybe you were right But baby I was lonely I don't want to fight I'm tired of being sorry I'm standing in the street Crying out for you No one sees me But the silver moon (lalalala [till end]) Maybe you were right But baby I was lonely I don't want to fight I'm tired of being sorry I'm standing in the street Crying out for you No one sees me But the silver moon.

Well since my friend @beanie-catsune shipped Dennis and Marty I took a bit of a different approach. I paired Marty with Randy from Jeff the Killer. I feel like I haven’t payed much attention to the poor abusive ginger cutie. And Marty would protect him. I actually have an idea how they meet.
