»» greet the dawn
“.. when darkness is no less
than everything you've built become undone
there's no fight and no flight,
disaster leaves your passion overrun ..”
Musical Inspiration: Dawn by Poets of The Fall

Behind this image;;
Originally made for Lumos at Surreal Studios for her character "Jayson" - slightly reworked, desaturated and parts added to make new image based on the song 'Dawn' by Poets of The Fall (Absolutely brilliant band, I suggest if you can, to check them out!).

Imagine if you had to leave all that you had ever known, all you ever cared about, everyone you had ever loved, because you feared that if you didn't you would destroy it all.. Here you see his inner struggle with what is right and what's wrong, how his actions affect all around him, and how he feels about leaving, knowing it must be done to save his herd from the monster that he's going to become..


Peace



(I hope that I don't have to regret not watermarking this big and bright across the horse! If you have any sense at all, or know how hard I fight for my art, then you'll know that taking this would be a VERY bad idea, I trust you're not brain-dead enough to do it anyway!?)

The signs of a true artist is when I look at a manipulation and can't tell what was added to the photo before I looked at the credits. Lol. You are really talented. I am really bad, if you don't believe you can look at mine, I am more of a writer.
