I kept coming across this sort of belly button pushing thing and decided to give it a try ^_^

I can already see the story for this one - maybe in the kingdom he's from it is considered beautiful to have a ridiculously deep navel, to achieve that they have a special ceremonial sword-like thingie, more like a training tool that looks a bit like a katana with a short pole replacing the blade, which is slightly flexible (like a bow) for a more dramatic effect in case it's used during a public bellydance performance.

The pole has a pointed end to help the belly reach the ideal shape and depth over the time of practice - dancers have to give their bellies a daily exercise to work toward the perfection of having a deep navel in contrast to the round lower belly.

The practice itself can be even pleasurable to some, thanks to the huge amount of very sensitive nerve endings on the surface of the belly button.

It looks painful yet at the same time majestic for some reason

The Facial expression in this is heartbreaking, I want to reach out and caress his cheek.

The expression on his face is perfect.

yeah... you should probably use textures rather than gradient to enhance the line-art background.

I would love to see some of these belly button pushing pictures you're talking about since I haven't seen anything like this.

I love the pose and the look because it reminds me of seppuku. The moment of high emotion and graceful bending of the body as the blade is turned in on the wielder is such a morbidly beautiful moment.
