Oh gosh! When I saw this in my submissions list..! This is freaking incredible! The detail is just right for Pashmenia! Not too much or too little! The stance it has going on fits perfectly with your poetry. I love the little "come here.." pash is doing with it's hands. You did feathers hands very nice, no kidding, it's very difficult to pull off! Ya even got a bit of the left arm showing just above the right one, impressive attention to detail, really gives that extra feel of dimension. And the legs, bird legs are like the hardest part of a bird to design apart from the head, it's awesome you managed to make it work incredibly, well, you always make it flawlessly. Then the talons, once again, fantastic job. A lot of detail lines are needed to make them look like they have weight to them.
I still have a good amount of stuff to say, but I got work, so I shall post the rest of my thoughts soon! Astounding job again!

Thank you very much. I swear that one arm took me a little to long to do. I suppose it was because I didn't know what I wanted to make of it. I had no plan to add the scissors until after everything else was finished. The feathers though did turn out very nice and I'm happy with the way it turned out. I did edit the poem a little bit after it was still up for an hour.
Sucks you gotta go to work, but thanks again for taking the time for this comment! I really appreciated it.

Okay, I have time to write down the rest of my thoughts. Again sorry if they are all over the place. Before I forget, I didn't notice the small shade the scissors left! It really helps show depth in the character, it really does. I wish I could put that into words. I might miss a few things but I'll try to get most down.
Anywho, Pash does indeed look like it has matured some from the first reference. I'd like to name some differences, but apparently only it's age has changed some. If I recall, there was a exponent up there. The rest is essentially the same, even down to the head being embossed in darkness. At least now there is a chance to believe there in something it's 'world' that will make it happy, and it's not just death.
The new look does sort of attribute a sort of homicidal/angrier feel to Pash now, rather then only being suicidal and depressed. It is defiantly something creatures would have a hard time coming near without feeling some sort of danger or threat. All the pictures before this of Pash had a, dare I say, 'innocent' look to them. It didn't look like Pash wanted to cause harm to others, but only itself because of other's ignorance. Now it's seems to be a double-edged sword, if a person were to ignore Pash, your not sure if it's going to hurt itself, or the person involved. If you were going for making the viewers feel both for it, yet also be scared by Pash, you have landed those cards right. If not, then man, am I sorry for writing that!
It's actually hard for me to imagine this version of Pash in the Snuggie's piece. Maybe I guess it'd be more of a vague hint of happiness rather then curling up and giving such a happy expression, or heck, maybe it'd still be the same. Almost every other piece you've drawn, it would most defiantly amplify the situation now that you cannot see Pash so innocently now.
The one where Pash was hanging out with dolls, enjoying itself, at first I thought it was just playing pretend, like something alone would do, having fun. Now though, it would give off a much different vibe, as in they weren't toy dolls, but were seen as sentient real friends, attempting to escape loneliness (and boredom) through desperate measures. This is really good, makes one think much more deeply. If there was like maybe a bit more hints to the fact Pash was going mad, like the toys were darker and have more signs of wear, or if maybe wet feathers under his eyes to signify to the viewer that Pash was still aware of his never ending nightmare, then I would've been able to figure it out fairly easier. So sorry on my part on missing the vibe on that piece. I do wonder if Pash is capable of tears, maybe that type of pain is just too awful, and would result in ir's suicidal practices. NOW I wonder if that is the way it builds up : Loneliness, wandering aimlessly -> Seeks help, no answer -> Becomes either mad or depressed -> Begins self harm till it passes out(?) or gets tired of it, then walks it off. Only for it to happen all over again, maybe once every so often something new happens. Ffff- writing this down made me think of that game, ugh!
Okay I'll stop now, my food turned into a Popsicle and I need to head somewhere. I'll end by saying even though I said Pash looks much more dark and 'edgy' now, I still find this character very sincere and genuine. I feel for it and want to understand more about it. Maybe it's my disposition of birds, but I keep wondering why anything would turn away from this creature when it pleads for help or attention. Great work, it's an astounding character that much, much more people should know about. You've told me how long you worked on this and really.. this should have been seen more.

Yeah, making Pash look more mature was something I had been really wanted to get adjusted. I still liked the cartoonier feel, but for my future plans I needed to have a stronger and sterner looking Pash.
In order for a factor of 'fear' to be realized, having something looked depressed all the time only leads to the character becoming stagnant and uninteresting in the long run. I spent the longest amount of time poking around with different expressions and this one suited it perfectly for what I wanted. It does come off as more aggressive and possibly a little dangerous, but alas it's just standing there. THAT is the perfect feel I was hoping to capture, so I'm super happy you and Reborn took notice. Another note is also what you said about the double-edged sword. I know I always portray this character as a sort of dark entity, but having that sense of questionable doubt in its current mood and motives adds to suspense. Thank you again for being detailed it your comments! Reading the ideas that you pull from this is amazing feedback.
Now that you mention it, seeing this face on the snuggie picture would definitely look weird. I guess that's another expression to work out would be it's 'relaxed' or 'happy' face. :3
And yes. That 'Metaphors' picture was intended to be a pretty big influence on the character. The focus is always on the current or currently degrading state of Pash's mentality. Instead of drawing pictures that act out a scenario to explain something (which would take forever), I find it a whole lot more effective to draw pictures of a frozen moment that greatly expresses subtlety, and also the true loneliness that Pash endures in its life in this place. Again, all this is still surrounding the unknown fact of why these creatures exist and why this place is what it is. It's my fault for that because I don't draw pictures of the environment and I never draw the other characters which is a huge problem. I honestly just need to get my story straight with this and finally start trying to kick it off.
Again, thank you very much for commenting the way you do. It's a huge encouragement to see your interest in this guy.

I guess you can say that it has taken that turn. I did edit the poem a little bit though so it didn't sound too "I wana eat your face"-ish. I was in a rush to upload it so I bum rushed the ending. But yeah, I'm glad I could go back and try to work with the detail. It turned out very satisfying for me.
So that's what that is - I figured it for Lambda - The Alveolar Lateral, or Letter "L", of Ancient Attica, Athenian Greece.
Said letter lateral has the same basic contingent form - and represents the physical constant representing The Expansion of Spacetime into whatever transdimension it seems to be stretching into.
Among other things.
I'll be looking up "AphexTwin" though.

Really cool looking Character and reference you put together here. I really do like your style, it's kinda a mash up between Tim burton, and the art stylings of the show Courage the cowardly dog. (Dang i miss that show, it was awesome).
I do like your own creepy and surreal characters and environments, very cool. :)
