Inversion [AT]

"Even if I struggle you will only pull me even tighter
Even when I try to suppress you by wearing a thin smile
You will only leer and snicker at my attempts
I can't let you out
I can't let myself allow you to
Turn me
Into the demon
I really am."

Art trade with my lovely GhostPriest  

I wanted to try and capture Gabriel's characteristics and how he's connected to his demon self in the Ghost World and since he was born in the Baroque era of France I decided to make him a part of a modern, black and white take on the Baroque style which is affiliated with contrast and landscapes.
Since the realm between our world and theirs isn't something visible to the naked eye, it made sense to make this into an abstract representation of life and death.

Thank you so so so much for agreeing to doing this art trade with me because it gave me more than just a beautiful picture of my Kenichi, but it also led into a friendship I could only dream of.  
I'm sorry that this took 6 months of waiting and I really hope that the end product pleases you, even just a little bit ;; v ;;

I hope you enjoyed this!
