What makes me a woman...

Description

...is not two lumps of flesh called breasts.

EDIT: Ok charity finally chosen for profits of this print! Please see my prints journal for more information. Thank you!


So yes, here is my very late piece for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, because a woman is more than her breasts! YEAH! :headbang: :XD:


So I meant for this to be finished in October, as that was Breast Cancer Awareness month... but alas fate worked against me and I've only just finished it yesterday. -_-


Anyhoo, I got the idea for this at the grocery store of all places. XD; Tho, actually, you could say I've had this image in my head for much longer than that. The seed was planted when I was watching this documentary kinda thing on tattoos once, and they showed these women who were breast cancer survivors, but they had both of their breasts completely removed and in their place had tattoos done... I thought it was really beautiful and inspirational, but I admit moreso because I'm weird/obsessed with androgyny, the idea of a woman with no breasts was fascinating. XD;


But yeah anyway, I'm at the grocery store looking at all the pink ribbon stuff and thinking I should draw something to show my support, and it hits me: I should draw a picture of a woman with no breasts with pink angel wings in the shape of the ribbon!!


I really do love the way this came out overall... except for the tattoo that I stressed over the design for. -_- I had it sketched down wonderfully, then as soon as I went to re-draw it on the actual image it just turned into that cluttered mess of lines. :tears: It's supposed to be two sets of three orchids with a bunch of pretty lines flowing from them... but yeah... not so much. -_- Oh and I hope the wings do sort of conger the image of the pink ribbon. XD;


I want to make prints but I feel that the profits should go to a breast cancer research fund, but I'm too busy to find one/figure out all the info about doing that.. so yeah hopefully soon I can set something up.


Anyhoo hope you all like!! :3

I love this because it says a lot and not just about breast cancer. The title and the first lines in the description, I mean- in a general sense it is true too.

Awesome idea wonderfully executed. The hair is so pretty. <3
