Artist commentary--> http://www.furaffinity.net/user/squirrelydoom/Woohoo! Another picture done :D And ahead of schedule too! This cheerful fellow is my new fursona thing... Acid (aka Cid)! I developed his name while I was reading a little on Sigmund Freud's analysis of human personalities and how we tend to be psychologically split into 3 parts. Here is the really dumbed down version of it all... The Superego is suposed to be the rational and logical side, the Ego is our normal self, and the Id is the passion driven and instinctual side. Whatever the Id wants the Id gets... The Id thrives on the basic hierarchy of needs and wants... rationalism be damned... I liked this concept so much that I developed a character around the whole theory, Acid the Nekomata. The nekomata is a Japanese mythical monster cat that tends to trouble people and is as witty as the famous kitsune. Cats were thought to have tails that fork in two once they reach a certain age, and it is around that time that they get spooky powers, like the ability to transform into human shape and mess with the recently deceased (hence the graveyard). This magical beast also explains the origins of the Japanese Bobtail purebred cat. The obvious reason being that fearful citizens would bob the tails of their pet cats in order to prevent them from becoming a bakeneko/nekomata. Eventually, through artificial selection and breeding, the bobtail was created. Here endeth the lesson ^_^ So lets talk about his character! He is a native to Flea's world (There will be more characters to come) and has made friends with Flea and her cohorts. However he is somewhat unstable... Where Flea represents my artistic side, Acid represents my cynical, misanthropic, and crazy side... Have you ever wanted to kill the person who's cellphone goes off in a movie theater? Have you ever wanted to duct tape a baby's mouth shut just so it will stop crying? Have you ever wanted to just listen to the little devil on your shoulder and do what you know is wrong... to say "Fuck You!" to the people you hate and to say "I wanna fuck you!" to the people you love? That is Acid... Oh yes! Before I forget, He has a thing for mushrooms! Why you ask? Because I have a thing for mushrooms! I don't need some stupid historical background for everything XD Also, a gold star to anyone who can identify the shrooms under Acid's right foot! Anyone who knows their fungus will definitely recognize it >:) |
