40 Honest Illustrations Of Modern Women And Their Demons By Polly Nor (NSFW)

The demon inside is taking off their masks, the ones they wear to hide themselves inside. I think it's referring to how humans put on many different faces (whether makeup or personality) to change themselves.

Chelou - Halfway to nowhere. Great video made by this artist:)

Ah the application of illusion in the applying of makeup to reach a point of beauty

now THIS one is about finding inner peace by being yourself.

Once again the Deo on is her inner demon and the physical for, of the girl is represented as a costume/mask.

This could be taken a few different ways, its a very deep piece.

"Decisions, decisions. Thank you Kim, long dark hair is in, (so hard t keep)" "This skirt, acceptable, to too short and threatening to the women, but tight enough for the men."

Who do I feel like being today....?

Embracing your demon, accepting them and being aware they are there, but at the same time telling them they're not in charge.

Still showing them who the boss is

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.

Potential hot date, put the demon back on the shelf so as to not scare the new guy.

The girl is there looking at her body, seemingly confident but the demon is there, her inner demon, to remind her that she is "not pretty" and "not up to societies standards".

If kissed the mirror before

being comfortable with having inner demons. knowing they're a normal part of our psyche.

I see it like comforting that inner demon that's more like an angry animal than yourself.

Be Yourself

"Let me sit hear half ready incase he shows up. I can quickly slip into my worldly look if needed."

Home. Time to relax.

This one captures how I feel after a long day at work.

Sexual desires are perceived as a sin (especially with women D:) so this womas inner demon is there in t he ba k of her mind telling her it is wrong as she is doing it.

Now that is some deep stuff

I love this one! So joyful- much more The Peaceful Kingdom meets The Garden of Earthly Delights (sans the horror of "sin" - Hieronymus Bosch was a disturbed and guilt ridden sod).

The demons are convincing her to check her social media and keeping her awake, almost as a physical form of insomnia.

Midnight and the doubts are back.

I assume that the girl wants to do some thing about her room and lifestyle (notice the empty alcohol bottles, cracked phone and general mess) but her demon js keeping her from doing so. Trapping her from reality.

This is when your demons feel like theyre bigger than anything else in your life. You feel trapped and hopeless in the mess. It doesn't feel like the power to change is even within you. Thing is, she isn't fighting. She's accepting of her situation. And thats why that damn thing is smiling at her.

Becoming the slave of your own demon.

No self-control.

The web can pull you in with all its lies.

So I lost my wife ......

Follow up to the previous cage drawing. She finally beat the demon, cleaning her room, fixing her lifestyle and going better for it. Being a champion basically.

It's funny, because on the original website, these have titles, and this one comes BEFORE the last one :-V http://pollynor.com/Illustration

She did it!

If u hav Money, no need to hide yr demon

Buying into designer brands and market schemes, advertising.

She embraced her demons and owned it hence the crown. Now her demon is taking her places. Notice a lot of good things happen to bad people because they are often willing to do anything to get to the top.

Ride on your demon,woman!

Lots of cacti in these pictures! 🌵

I think that this picture idolizes the fact that when the girl looks in the mirror, she doesn't truly see her beauty but she sees a reflection of something she doesn't like. Basically resembling poor judgment of herself because she thinks shes ugly when she looks in the mirror and that's what the devil tells her.
