Jasmine's Secrets' Originals (1 of 2)

Unfinished & unissued illustrations project from the 2000s! (Jasmine's Secrets) From my DeviantArt's vault: Jasmine Stuart. A succesful cosmopolitan kind of girl... These illustrations were part of a story I wrote back ago. Originally called "Body Double", and re-entitled as "Jasmine's Secrets".

Jasmine's Secrets by Jay Tee: the original inked illustrations. You can see the colored ones in here. Or read the story I wrote here.

A fragment:

“Jasmine was, unable to find a better terminology to describe herself, a fat obsessive. She found herself particularly cracked for fat guys - well, not exactly crazy for their strong bear-likeness semblance but for the fatness itself. She was dizzily uncomfortable about her reaction toward fat women, too, letting her mind fancy possessing one of those bloated, waving, fleshy bodies herself. A weirdo, all right? That was what she thought of herself.

From time to time, her heart quivered in the late hours of night with an open chocolate box in her lap. She never ate all the contents. Before the fourth piece she always burst in tears. She didn't want to lose her slim figure, almost vital for her job, surrounded as she was by tons of superficiality and prejudice. And this inner conflict created in Jasmine a bitter sentiment of failure and despair, growing like a giant spider day by day in her heart - and day after day being swept under the carpet of her subconscious. The hump in the carpet was thick, and she knew this.”
