Last year, at about this time, I wanted a work that conveyed the inner turmoil of my own mind, themed to one of one of my more favorite movies. Inside Out 2 is coming out, so it reminded me of this piece. I'll over-explain it in a second.
In the first movie there are 5 emotions- joy (yellow), sadness (blue), disgust (green), anger (red), and fear (purple). Well, those aren't the only forces that drive a mind, and so I combined colors so to speak to illustrate different driving forces. And not every one is a good and healthy one.
Master Splinter represents my tempered optimism (yellow and blue). He is essentially my way of seeing the best in situations and people. He's one of the healthiest parts.
He's usually debating- with mixed success- with MadDog, my cynicism (blue and green), the part that knows everyone has agendas, dark sides, that things often enough don't work out.
Off to the left is Don Karnage (yellow and green), which represents egotism. He is less in control and more comes up when belittled or challenged. He'll often work with Splinter or MadDog to steer things in moments like those.
Toward the right is Mister Bear (red), who a bit like in the movie is straight up anger. He also doesn't get the control panel as often, but when he does, it's usually when the main two aren't doing the job of getting the message across. It actually takes a while for Mister Bear to really come out, as my anger can be volcanic in its heavy stage. But, he may be flavoring the control panel in smaller ways when I'm annoyed.
And to the farthest right we have Wile E. Coyote (red and purple) who fittingly represents obsession. As I've grown older he's the least at the panel, but especially in my teen to early adult years he would sneak over to the control panel and drive things for a while.
The memory orbs are a bit of a rough portrait- the regular memories are in the back, usually solid colors at the bottom for earlier ones, mixed ones more often later on as I got more complex. Core memories are... pretty accurate for color representation I'd say.
The islands in the back represent nostalgia (if you can identify most of the stuff there I'd be impressed) and creative writing.
