I'll admit this isn't as refined as it could be. At this point of the course/year, it's hard to be motivated into meticulous design and detail. I did spend time planning this: I created this idea in math class while not doing math (I might as well do something if I can't find the mental energy to pay attention). I think I stopped myself while painting this because there's a point in watercolour where detail becomes counter-productive. The way I painted this made it hard to get very fair with details. Oh well, it was enjoyable.

I don't think I was thinking of any specific concept with this while painting it. I just knew it could be related to my theme. Protection seems most obvious. And there's something eerie about this. It's something Freudian, or something saying protection is counter-productive (I need a new word..). But it's not the arm reaching down in a way that looks like masturbation. That was just a funny coincident I kept in there.
