it takes a special mind to understand the beauty of war. and it would be hard to explain to someone who didn't already understand. i think guns bombs explosions grenades ammunition, all of that is beautiful. thousands of people fighting at the same time in the midst of it brings a certain sense of honor and thus beauty. read up on samurai culture to further understand. war was a more beautiful thing back in the day when battles werent fought with guns and it was more sword to sword type deals. thats what they should bring back haha

Taking your words carefully, I'd wager you've never been in a war yourself? Most of those who possess such "special minds" tend to feel the way they do about war through spectating rather than experiencing. And in most cases, it is these same people who fail to realize the notion of enlightenment and tolerance in understanding that we're all human beings. Many don't understand why 18 U.S. veterans on average commit suicide daily. There are things that happen in war that a person shouldn't see.
"We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools." - Dr. Martin L. King
I understand what you mean when you say war was more beautiful in the old days where people used swords rather than guns. Although I disagree with your stating it as being beautiful, indeed there was far more honor present in the battles of old times, specifically in those of Feudal Japan. Anyone can shoot someone or drop a bomb on a little village, it requires less morale and less thought. However, in the old times, you had to look your opponent in the eyes when you're killing them. Warriors at that time took it very seriously to respect even their opponents after defeat. I know well of the Samurai and their history. And they certainly did fight for their honor. But that's not the way things go anymore. Soldiers fight for the interests of corporations and bankers. Presidents are quick to send young kids to war but have never been in war themselves.
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity. When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs." - Former U.S. General Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower
It would be for better if that was the case. We would have less war if you took the guns away from the soldiers and instead gave them swords. They would be a lot less inclined to step on the battlefield. It appears the U.S. may be heading to war with Iran soon, which will spark WW3, I'm sure someone with quite the "special mind" as yours would love to enlist in the upcoming months. I'm not one to tell you how to think, but it's never great to encourage murder and genocide, that is unless you're willing to experience it yourself. I'm guessing you're still in your teens, so you might not even be able to lift a rifle yourself yet. Understand that war is the ultimate failure of any culture to bridge peace. I quite fancy the words of the character 'Nameless' from the movie "Hero": βThe ultimate ideal for a warrior is to lay down his sword.β
"How vile and despicable war seems to me! I would rather be hacked to pieces than take part in such an abominable business." - Albert Einstein

I like this, the mushroom cloud reminds me of the way chinese artists used to use the Ling Chi Mushroom of Immortality in clouds, but with the opposite effect. Cool!

Do you mind if I use it as a background or wallpaper? It would make an awesome print to hang in a post-modern style house! Love it, dude!

Mushroom cloud looks like its blooming in a way. Like from destruction comes creation and new growth will emerge. Ironic title and design, the whole thing really 'pops' conceptually for lack of a good vocabulary.. There is a real order in the chaos in the background. Ill leave it at that cuz someone else can say it better. This is awesome though

That's a fantastic style, here's a weird thing I have a phobia of mushroom clouds and that forbids me from looking on deviant art for related works. Which is aggrivating because cold war/ nuclear arms/ civil defense is a huge interest of mine.
I would love to see vector art done on cold war world maps much like the penagon would have have ona world situation in a war...think WarGames.
