the illustration is about shyness, which i believe is best described as a self-imposed "cage" around those who suffer from it. it is both ubiquitous and all-encompassing; for many people, it underscores every social interaction they take part in. i think that the best cure for such a condition is to learn to love yourself, and only surround yourself with people who accept you as you are. don't let it prevent you from being all that you want to be! :>

Fantastic Blog! I really like the black and white portrait studies you have done in corel painter. I'm also very impressed by the facial expressions of your characters.
@Piya - thank you! :)
@Chuang - yep, it's all digital; drawn with Corel Painter's pastel tool. i have a pastel/charcoal background when it comes to traditional art, so i try to make it show through in my digital works! ;)
@michele - thank you very much!
@Stephan - thanks, i really do love working out character expressions and attitudes, so your comment means a lot!
