Naku: Abnormal Psychology cover

Description

The reason I uploaded the last three subject covers was because I started doing them again. This is the first one I've finished in college. I think I had, like, two I started but never finished. Maybe I should scan those in, too, just so peeps can see what the heck I put my characters through to illustrate the subject matter (e.g. Tyler the skunk became half a cell blob for Genetics).

Nothing more fun than giving your characters their own unique disorders. Milo has insomnia, which I suffer from every now and then (it's a bitch); Lyra is severely schizophrenic; Dorae has Schizoid personality disorder, which makes him relatively emotionless and unable to socialize well with others; Phineas is listed as being Borderline, but he's more Histrionic, I think. Borderline personality disorder is more erratic and intense. Its description reminds me of ADD. Histrionic is more of the socialitic, "pay attention to me" sort of mentality. Anyway... Akinori has Avoidant personality disorder, which I have and it SUCKS. And Sri just has hydrophobia.

If I could give the rest of my Nakus disorders (and lol, I've thought this through), Anuka would have Dependent personality disorder (means what it sounds) as well as PTSD, Corinne would have Depression, Tyler Narcissistic personality disorder, and... Napoleon and Lance would be fairly quirk-free. Napoleon is more subdued, but not due to anything wired into him. It's just a personal choice. Lance is more outgoing, but he does so because he's very sure of himself and optimistic, but not to the point of delusionment. If anything, they'd have stuff that appears later in life, such as Alzheimer's or maybe something like predisposition to chemical addiction.


I absolutely love Abnormal Psych. I think most people do-- it's a popular class at my university. This is going to turn into more of a journal entry, lol, but... heck.

I want to make one of my characters have a sort of gender identity disorder or uncommon sexuality. I took an entire class dedicated to the topic and know a lot about it. But I'm afraid people on the conservative side might not like the idea. But... gender identity issues aren't something someone WANTS. They don't LIKE feeling like they were born in the wrong body. It's like... about this struggle of whether to be true to yourself or comply with society. I would love to dive into that sort of thing with my characters, but it may be going a bit far. They are just young, cutsie animal characters.

... Anyway, back to the art piece.

I used Prisma markers for this, and the gold marker I used on Sri turned out darker than I wanted it to. Then the scanner made it look worse. Fudge. Well... the colored pencil areas turned out okay, I guess. I used the wrong marker color on Dorae, but oh well. Also done in black ink pen and Prang and Prismacolor pencils.
