I cannot take any credit for the style. I leaned heavily on the game LIMBO for these, because I was trying to catch at least a little bit atmosphere and feeling that I experienced when playing it for my images. Dark, gritty, depressive... and yet with a certain beauty and fascination. I definitely take your words as a tremendous compliment!
It definitely has a LIMBO look and mood, but that's an amazing game and it's a really cool idea to do something in that style! ;o)
And believe me, every word was meant as the highest of compliments. Like I said, it drew me in and made me feel so many emotions. That's what great art is supposed to do. ;o) It's such a great piece that I've been sharing the link with my friends.
Keep up the great work!
The style is so...interesting. At the thumbnail I was thinking it was fan art for limbo (http://limbogame.org/). This is better than I expected, thank you.
Mh... no, I don't think I will. I went ahead and illustrated those five that evoked an immage in my head immediately, even though I didn't think of them as a "mental disorder" in the first place. I originally had wanted to illustrate schizophrenia, but I had such a hard time wrapping my head around that one. The others, even dysmorphobia, were more graspable for me and I guess that was part of the reason they turned out the way they did.

Hope that made sense. X_x

I can take or leave most furry artwork, because I've seen everything a million and one times before. But these pieces stopped me in my tracks. The style, feel, and subject matter is unique and stunning. You've captured the essence of the disorders in a very moving way.
