    OMG TAFFY!
    This is so impressive! /faves on DA
    I love the whole idea and concept; also the textures of how this was done. It's water color I believe? :3
    The lining is also done very good. I like the rawness of it too.

    Heehee. compliment~ Can't find a tad bit of a bad thing about it. I love it n__n

    I find the difference between each of the punishment series a little odd. The difference in subject is mostly it. Like the way the first one is zoomed in on the face of the person in question and the second is a more abstract view of a face made out of a setting and how the third is a full body and environment and also has a short background story written below it. But the punishment is always the same. At least it always has the element of silencing the subject. I'm not really good at analyzing these things but, was any of this intentional and purposeful? Just curious.

    As for the piece itself. I don't really know what to say about it because from a technical aspect it's beyond me. Though I do feel like asking exactly the chain is attached to. It looks like a fishing lure but I can't really tell.

    Yep, its watercolor ;]
    Thanks babe, I'm glad you loved it. \o/

    Sorry for the late reply.
    You're good.
    Since you were able to analyze really well from my other pieces, I'll tell you ....

    Punishment was something I grew up with.
    "If you this, if you do that, you'll be punished taffy."
    It was to teach me what you get when do "bad" things, so yes. Many of my punishment pieces are intentional and purposeful.
    Silence was seen in my days as a punishment, we would be isolated from the rest and beaten, not allowed to utter even a sound, lol.
    It was good times those days, it changed me.

    Every subject in the pieces, were from people I have seen and their way of being punished.
    For example, I still would remember their body postures, one were you would shield your body with your hands to, and their sad expressions with shining eyes.

    As for the chain, you are almost right. It mainly symbolizes abduction, where she is forcefully caught (after attempting to run away from her punishment) and now will be thrown in hell for eternity.

    One thing important to remember about my punishment series is that they are how I viewed various fantastic ways of people being punished during my childhood days, in which I like to emphasize a bit, adding a touch of fantasy to it as well.
