Artist's Comments

i did this painting for a show.

believe it or not i was first inspired from a picture of a dead soldier my friend in the marines sent me. it was just his head [detached from his body] and he had this odd puddle of blood around him...it made fangs like an angler fish. i kept sketching it over and over, and found new meanings for what i wanted my painting to mean.

this piece has alot of symbolism, which i wont let u know much of. basically its how alot of artists lose their way with drugs, kinda represented by them losing their hands and wanting them back. it was imspired from a former friend who forgot about me long ago.

i dont like the colors much.

i barely like this painting. i did it two days before the show and it got a little sloppy.

Well detailed, but creepy. I guess that makes it even creepier. Especially with the description of inspiration :hug:

It actually reminds me a lot of Dante's Inferno, the different souls lost in the mucky muck ... beauteous.

Gorgeously detailed and designed. I love the anatomy and formation. Stunning colors and fine expressions. The contrast is excellent. Solid mood piece.
