___________________________

I did not think this was gruesome enough to warrant an adult rating. If I'm wrong, please just let me know and I'll change it.

This is one of those pieces that comes to you almost instantly and you know it's going to turn out well because it was just meat to be. I saw the two girls and instantly the title came into my mind. The title is what spawned the image of the man in the water. It looks pretty much like I imagined it and the whole idea pieced itself together in about ten seconds.

A couple of things I'm not happy with, but I accidentally saved the image in flattened form and didn't have enough of a cache to go back and undo it, so fate pretty much decided for me that it was done.

I love preraphaelite art and this is my little tribute to it.

I can imagine them spotting the hunk on the other side of the pond and now they're gonna trick him to come over and then they gonna wear him out. Great pic!

I really loved the concept The constance between the all prettiness and the dead man in the water... Wow.

Thank you! I do like it more the more I look at it. There's little more I would have done on it anyway. I kept thinking of the poem "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" while working on it.

Ooo. It's cool. I love how the image is just so gorgeous and pretty, then you see the dead man. What a kicker.
Love it.

delainestock In reply to PersephoneStock [2007-04-03 02:02:33 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, my favorite thing about it is how confusing it is. You see it and think "ooo pretty flowers! Ooo pretty ladies! Ooo pretty!" and then your eyes drift down and you think "ooh jeez! There's a dead guy in the water!" and the whole thing suddenly becomes rather sinister.

Yeah, that's so awesome. The flow of the piece really works perfectly.
