Locks (2026)

This is based on an old "portrait" of a girlfriend. You can probably tell I was slighly in love with this woman.

She said I couldn't afford her. I mean she wasn't wrong or anything, but that's such a mean thing to say. I was a salary man doing software, which in Europe is median salary often, a wage slave, a mediocre bullshit.

I wasn't heartbroken or anything because the relationship had been fucked a long time, I just thought it was funny and embarrassing.

Also years later, I called her miss you-can't-afford-me, and she just laughed hysterically in my face.

The real reason wasn't money though, it was I just wasn't cool enough. She wanted to climb extremely tall chimney's in the middle of the night, or break into public bath houses to take a swim. I mean I could have done the bath house, we ultimately didn't, but the chimney stuff. I was like fuck that. I have more interesting things to do than die because fucking wind decided "why not?".

If it had happened today though...I mean that chimney wasn't *that* tall...

I wanted to do this more carefully and properly and maybe someday I will at a bigger size, but I just can't go slow right now.

Lugia for the birthday of a friend. :D The original painting glitters~!

And - as someone who never really played Pokemon - I learned during the drawing that Lugia is not a divinE Pokemon, but a divinG Pokemon. The difference one letter can make... :0
