Description Dark Horizons 001
--------------------------------
As the stars appear
I know I'll find you staring at the sky.
Pointlessly reaching for some light
You hope to guide your sorry way.

Your body bleeding.
Your body burned.
Your body scarred.
Around the cinder of your heart

A God of love.
A God of care.
A God of hope.
A God of words.
A God as lost as you and blind
To fill your hollow soul again.
You seek a God to stand above you,
Wrapping healing arms around you.
You'll find another God of pain,
A God of suffering and tears.
Give yourself unto your God.
Sacrifice yourself again.
Burn your thoughts, erase your will
To Gods of suffering and tears.
Tie hallowed bonds around your hands.
Kneel before this seat of shame
To Gods as lost,
Gods as blind,
Gods of suffering and pain.

Notes: There is a solitude to this image, a lonliness that I noticed when I first grabbed the stock, I didnt want to take that away just wanted to darken and heighten that feeling of lonliness. This I guess reminds me of mans war against religion. We seek our faith hoping it will answer questions that we cannot fathom but in the end we find ourselves alone. Our gods may be with us but they do not speak to us. They wait in silent judgement awaiting for us to pass beyond the silent barrier of death to stand before them. Until that point comes to past we are perpetually alone touching others lives for such a brief period of time. It sometimes seems to make everything seem hollow and when you seek out your faith for comfort there is nothing there.

She looks thoughtful and brooding...

Excellent use of shadows, and I like how her lips standout. The textures add a very nice touch too.

Ahhh, the texture is absoutely fantastic! lol, wow. that was the first thing I noticed. And I like the idea of making her lips blue, it adds a certain eerie sense to it.

*eyes are boggled out of her face, staring in awe*

This is so neat. Time well spent, I must say.
