So I've been working on some other pieces of art but I took a little break to draw this. I needed to draw some vent art to get some crap out of my head and onto paper. Idk this is really symbolic to those that know me, to those that don't I'd rather not go into it deeply here, but given what Dimitri represents maybe you can take a guess.

Dimitri is that monster always in the back of my head, just waiting patiently for a chance to jump out and grab me up in his dirty paws. He's a very sick character - dark, dirty, a drug addict and a user, manipulative, cruel, empty, and the only real emotions he ever feels are the pleasures he gets from harming others.

And like I said, even though I absolutely abhor that part of me, HATE that part of me, wish that part of me wasn't there - it is, hiding in the dark, waiting for the perfect time to strike. And it always seems to happen when I become content and lax in my own comfort and routine.

It's kind of ironic that we are both canine/birds. Didn't do that on purpose but it coincidentally ended up that way. And I also recently noticed our markings are similar, just different colors. Dude, subconscious were you at work a little bit when I designed him, huh? :|

Lyrics are from Nine Inch Nails' "Happiness in Slavery" which helped inspire this picture. And those be some pills of all sorts in 'Mitri's hand there if you can't really tell.
