Pod O' Nars

I rarely show my parents my art... but when they do see it, they always make this face and say a couple nice words, and then move on with talking about other things that I should paint or draw. Recently, mom finally came out and said that everything I draw looks depressing. It's a little rough to take, knowing that what I love to do falls outside my parents' perceptions of normal. I tried to tell them that I'm ok, I draw what I draw because it's what I love to do and it doesn't come out of any deep rooted instability (if it did, my work would probably be hella stronger) but uh. I think I'm heading down a pretty introspective path which is too silly for dA.

About the piece:
In light of the previous, I went out on a limb and tried to make one narwhal cute. I don’t think it worked.

Narwhals get their name from the Norse word nár, which means corpse.

It was doomed from the start.
