I believe it is more painful than it looks. However, it could be a tranformation into something better. But who knows, you tell me. =)

It has been a long time since my last submission folks! But I try to make sure that my next absolutely doodle-cious piece will not disappoint. :)

I see a tormented and tortured man. Throughout his entire life, he has been swallowing his emotion; bottling it up inside of him. A darkness has been seeping into his mind, body and soul - I say 'soul', but even he is not sure how much of it he has left. After all, if the eyes are the window...

Despite everything, he is still only human, and there is only so much one man can take. The inevitable happens. He explodes. And all that emotion, all that darkness, explodes with him.

The detail on his face - the contours and the delicate shading - contrasts with the messy, splatters dashing out of his head. Amidst the dark splatter, there is that little bit of red exploding out from deep in his core. I see this red as representing that little bit of humanity he still has left. The finer dashes of blacks, reds and blues around him are sparse compared to the dark, dense splatter - this is what made me think of him bottling everything up inside.

I could spend a thousand words explaining the sort of visceral impact that this picture had on me - but, then again, what's that saying? A picture is worth a thousand words? In this case, it definitely is.
