"Black Poison/Poison Lips" by Nick P. ´LimeGreenSquid´ Marton

I couldn't decide on a name. 

Every once in a while i feel drained from drawing big beautiful women all the time ... like the cup filled with my soul is all being poured out at once.  (even though i don't really believe in souls - the collective database of memories and experiences, emotions and thoughts and creations and dreams in my brain, then).  I'd been so prolific lately with beautiful, large pieces that i am super proud of, but that drained me.  And when that happens i feel like i need a change ... at least for just one piece.  So, this is it!

I know i always tend to do that nose when drawing a profile, but i thought this was a neat idea.  The whole head seemed longer from left to right when i was drawing it - it was longer in my mind's eye ... oh well ... I do like how he turned out.

His lips are partly derived from scenes in the book "The Farthest Shore" by Ursula K LeGuin where this run-down city has people laying all over the roads, in a daze of "hazia" - a narcotic i guess similar to heroin.  They would look nearly dead and their lips would be blackened and cracked and flies would be flying in, on, and around their lips. 

I just wanted to do a weird creepy piece again.  They're fun sometimes!
