“..For the life that you led
You had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end?

All the things that do seem
All the things that could have been
Well I've been everything I wanna be
So no tears, no tears for me..”
Musical Inspiration ;;Dead Island Trailer Theme by Giles Lamb (Savalas)

Behind This Image;;Yesterday I saw the most gruesome game trailer with the most stunning beautiful soundtrack. I mean something that would make you cry from it's beauty! Or me at least. The inspiration for this piece came from "free falling" through clouds on the ultimate and final freedom of life before death. I had images from "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" (the horse and girl jumping from the platform into the water) and "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" (The last scene of the girl jumping off the bridge into the clouds) - I wanted a sense of ultimate unwaving freedom, the same way that people would fall if they were attempting to fly away; arms outstretched, head up and more importantly eyes closed.
This is my first attempt to string three horse body parts together; I hope I have succeeded in this; however if I haven't please keep your comments and nit-picks to yourself, this piece is very personal to me and I don't want to hear it!
I urge you to listen to the above linked song; and if you are over 18 and want to see the trailer for the game; search "dead island game trailer" and pick the official one; warnings though: it's a shocker!

I recorded the making of this with livestream, if you would like to watch it, it is in two stints: part one & part two

Thank you very much to the wonderful stockists and I hope you enjoy looking at this as much as I enjoyed making it!

PLEASE;; NO CRITIQUES OR NIT-PICKING WANTED! Nit-Pick or Crit and your comment will be hidden! Don't bitch or complain to me because you didn't read!
