Okay, this merits some explaining... I'm not really a romantic and I don't care much about Valentine's Day, but I was in the mood to draw one of my characters so I decided to do "alone and loving it." Only, I couldn't think of any of my characters who were alone and happy. All I could think of was the ones who were alone and kind of miserable, which meant if I drew a picture of one of them for the theme, it would be a lie.
Suddenly I thought it would be interesting to convey the idea of this lie and I came up with the concept and I really liked it and started to draw. Of course, as soon as I had the basic concept and figure down, I immediately thought of one of my characters who is very much alone and loving it! (There are a few that fit the bill, I just couldn't think of them when I started.) So I decided to make the image of him! Only now, it's a complete contradiction because it's an image about the idea of "alone and loving it" being a lie featuring a character for which this is not a lie. XDDDD
But since I really loved the concept I'm keeping it anyway and I really like how it turned out and it just goes to show how very weird the creative process can be sometimes!
tl;dr - Doesn't make sense, but I love this image anyway.
