Objectum-Sexuality is basically when someone falls romantically, sexually, physically, and emotionally in love with an inanimate object. It is very rare that someone identifies as OS and usually only happens with women.
It sounds strange but is it really that different then a teenager kissing a pillow and thinking about a boy? Or a stadium full of little girls can love a heartthrob, to the point of tears, and not feel competitive with each other?
I find the idea to be very romantic; the need to love so badly that real emotions can be projected onto something/someone without any sort of actual exchange.
When I normally work on a project for a client there are several phases of roughs, feedback, sketching, feedback, tight sketching, feedback, coloring, feedback, and then final. I did these four rough "concept" sketches and I'm interested in which ones stick out to you and why. I'm also interested in your suggestions and ideas on where I can take the idea.
These four drawings all evoke in me the "unrequited love" feeling I get from the concept of an Objectum-Sexual. I'm hoping they do the same for you.
Whichever drawing seems to be getting the most attention is one that I'll explore further.

The first one, to me it'd be fun if she were this stunning creature in this gorgeous dress from a time gone by, but what she was in love with was an italian ice. And it was red. And it was all over her lips and cheeks and dripping down her hands. A few blips and drips on her dress.
haha! Awesome! This is totally the sort of feedback I'm looking for! Thanks!
