Artist's Comments

"...'Cause I need to watch things die,
From a good safe distance.
Vicariously I live,
While the whole world dies..."
Vicarious - Tool (10,000 Days)

__Description__
I am not really that happy with how this turned out in the end.
Looking at the shapes, and physically how everything fits together, it's perfect. Exactly how I imagined it in my head. But I just don't think I got the right feel. I finished the raw manipulation of everything a long time ago, but hours at the end were spent trying to smooth over everything. I still don't think I got it. I can't explain it really, but I still like the concept.
This is for *lateralusSPIRAL, possibly the best photomanipulator out there I think. It's Hazel's style that I've always tried to aspire to in photomanipulation, no exception here for the inspiration. Also, she's a Tool fan as her name would suggest, and I've used two bits of her stick here, so this one goes out to her.

__Details___
Tools Used: Photoshop CS2
Time Taken: Many hours, in between work, school and soccer.
Original Size: 2000-ish? Shown here at a little over 50% probably.
Stock Used:
- A pile of free stuff from sxc.hu
- "Nature 7": [link] by ~Necrosis-Stock
- "Woman 24": [link] by ~Necrosis-Stock


Hope you enjoy it.
Full view probably, to get all the detail.

If you truly wish to be defiant towards the rest of humanity, cast off the black and the depression, and dance in the world made to make us cry.

Ja, Fußball.
But when the vast majority of people about seem to be American, saying "football" as in soccer just confuses them with American NFL football, so I just give in to that.

Thanks a lot for the comment.
