the wait

Wow, long time no update. (thanks a lot, college, for keeping me busy) This emaciated young man here in the Peking Opera headdress is Cyril, an OC ~maddiemax and I cooked up this past summer for our still-unnamed mangababy. It will, of course, be flamingly gay, and populated by innumerable hot, supple young men. Cyril here is not only one of the main character (Eliot)'s good friends, he is also a junkie hooker and is tragically in love with his pimp, Mr Wang, who abuses him/exploits him/whatever it is that hardened criminals do to the ones who love them. yeeeeuuup.

This painting has an alternate title--'i'm still your fag' (after the Broken Social Scene song of the same name lol). It's a little (mkay more than just a little) pretentious, I know, but I sort of find it appropriate/hot lol

Medium: watercolors, Dr Marten's bleedproof white ink, W&N black india ink
Time taken: forgot.....maybe in the vicinity of 6-8 hours???? The headdress was a bitch and a half D:
Production music: Sol Seppy, Neva Dinova, The Rosebuds, Beirut (I've been obsessed with their 'Gulag Orkestar' album for like the past 3 months)

ps: warghghghggh I suck at anatomy :[ but w/e
