I wanted to do another painting of Imogen, and in that I wanted to try and do a painting that had a lot more detail and visual interest that what I normally do. Its funny when I think back to when I first came up with Imogen and the story of the “Coffin Boy” and how much it has changed. It was a very organic process, and in a way I wanted this image to reflect how I feel right now. I feel I’m in a good place and I wanted something light and bright, and a reminder that spring is coming. My new house is all but ready and I feel like I’m moving in the right direction.

Imogen is a character that I feel very close to, much like how I feel about Minorue. The reason being is that even though I am a proud Wiccan now, I grew up Roman Catholic. And the story of the Coffin Boy explores my frustration, curiosity, and connection with Catholicism, and much of organized religion.

I am very proud of this painting, I feel I’m really improving and developing my talent, not just in painting but also my singing.

Ely and Imogen, G.O.D. Golden Order of Deities, all characters and story(c)Morghan Peressini 2010-present

SO…I’ve been working on this for a few days now. This was partly for Valentines day and part as a painting experiment. These two are older OC’s of mine named Ely and Imogen. I got the idea for them and their story from a dream I had a long time ago and a “Florence and the Machine” song called “Boy who builds coffins”. Ely was human once, but he was a murderer and a thief and when he died he was put to work building coffins for people who died unjustly. He worked for G.O.D. or “The Golden Order of Deities”. One of the deities was Imogen, who was the “Eye of G.O.D.”, she alone could judge a person and decide if they would go to paradise or into servitude. They were madly in love, but it was not meant to be. Imogen was killed by another deity who was jealous of her. Thousands of years later she was reborn as a normal human, and he life was pretty normal until her mother dies in a car accident that she was also involved in. That was when Imogen saw Ely again.

Thats all you guys get for now. Have a great Valentines Day! Love you guys so much <3

I learned really from sailor moon, then it was on to Clamp and Magic Knight Rayearth. But my biggest influence has been Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa. I’m glad you like my work, thank you^^

i miss you
but i haven’t met you yet
so special
but it hasn’t happened yet
you are gorgeous
but i haven’t met you yet
i remember
but it hasn’t happened yet

and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
i will meet you

i was peaking
but it hasn’t happened yet
i haven’t been given
my best souvenir
i miss you
but i haven’t met you yet
i know your habits
but wouldn’t recognize you yet

and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
i will meet you

i’m so impatient
i can’t stand the wait
when will i get my cuddle?
who are you?

i know by now that you’ll arrive
by the time i stop waiting

i miss you

Cifii. I am in the beginning of starting a comic with her in it, called Glossolalia. Its going to be a rather personal piece. No real genre, it’ll be a mixture of my dreams, my fears, my hallucinations, and my feelings. I often fear for my…sanity…for lack of a better word. Mental illness runs in my family, my grandmother was 18 when she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia. I do often see things, not really anything to worry some right now, but I do worry. I find that art and music is the only way I feel grounded. Some people cut themselves to feel alive…I pick up a pencil and make my paper bleed my life force. So “Glossolalia” will be a sort of grounding for me. To feel calm. I have been having some bad nightmares, I have barley been drawing due to work being insane, and even my fiance has pointed out that I have done NOTHING new. So this is just the start I promise.

Wow that was rather intimate wasn’t it? I just wanted to give a little explanation to apologize for being so absent from tumblr. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I hope you all ate, drank, and were merry<3

Finally starting to get back into the drawing groove. That was the only down side to school. I drew so much once it was done I needed a break from it. Still exploring my OC Cifii and her world. I know the edges are rough, but its 12am and my dinner isnt sitting to well right now so…ef it. All in all, I am happy with it.
