Woop woop so new journal header thing of Barkley.
I was kind of thinking about what Margo said a while ago in terms of how her characters are aspects of herself or how she wants to be, and I think that goes for a lot of people.

So I was thinking about that and about Barkley, and how she is very much both how I am and how I want to be. I haven't created an official "biography" for her or whatever, but in terms of how I've drawn her, she seems to be very free and confident and passionate and alive, which is how I wish I was more.
And on the other hand we're similar because we look very much alike, and are mischievious and stubborn and goofy and fairly androgenous and kind of weird.

I need to draw more of her too. I originally made her so that I could have one consistent thing to draw in all sorts of ways, cause quite frankly my gallery is seriously lacking in the consistence area. But anyway, I guess I'm specifically not making a biography for her so I can use her as a medium for my subconscious to manifest in how I draw her. In other words, I'm not officially defining her personality cause I want her to tell me that for herself, and hence find out more about me.

Which honestly I think is gonna be pretty fucking cool.

That's a cool idea, actually, letting the character come out on their own. Usually I just sort of have a basic idea for a character and they grow into something more developed. But she does remind me of you sort of. D: Would you ever go so far as to shave your head?

Yeah, I actually was thinking of growing out a dreadhawk, except that sooo many people have mohawks now, and since I'm too stuck on being unique, that idea got put on hold for later.

But yeah, I did start out with a basic idea for her image, but nothing whatsoever personality wise. And it does seem to be unfolding as I draw her more. Like.. if you look at the first drawing I did of her, it's really bland. There's pretty much nothing there.

Yeah, mohawks aren't very unique nowadays. In fact I kind of shake my head when I see them now.

And I do see a change in her, she's much more out-there from what I can tell now.

Yeah, which is a bummer, cause they are pretty cool.

Heh, yes I suppose she is a bit crazier. Although maybe it's cause it's fun drawing screaming people.

I definitely see you in her.

And I mean that in a completely innocent way.

:iconhentai-mushu:
Heh. In what way could that have been corrupt?

If you don't know I'm not going to be the one to tell you, :-p
