Description This is a collaboration with we finished almost a year ago, but I never came around to upload it to my gallery.
It was fun working on this one. *rockerdish created the creepy block with the guy tied to it and asked me to provide a background for this work. We then passed the psd back and forth until he came up with the result you see here.

He also wrote a huge tutorial on how to create this work with all techniques explained in detail. You can find it here: [link] or here: [link]


Check out his gallery:

I would love to see an updated version of Dante's Inferno. Β Over the years I've seen some spectacular art, like yours, depicting epic battles in, what looks like Hell.
Thanks for the inspire'

Das ist einfach nur unglaublich inspirierend,so wie die meisten deiner Werke.
Habe das zuerst auf LasthopeΒ΄s Blog gesehn, und war eigentlich mit ein Grund mit Grafik anzufangen.

Wow... It makes me think of the "Bleed" music video from Meshuggah... Awesome

hehe I just watched it on youtube, and it was a little disturbing lol, but I can see why it reminds you of it. Thank you!

MushFX In reply to ErikShoemaker [2012-01-10 22:39:12 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know it's not a "sweet" style of music But as a huge fan of Meshuggah, I can tell you that listening to this song while watching your deviation is a perfect combo.

arcangeltowers [2011-05-03 17:35:43 +0000 UTC]

Love the concept.

Even Angels have to battle with their inner demons. An eternal struggle that determines if you fall, or if you regain your composture.

Thats my interpretation on the piece.

I like it because it represents the strugles that people have to overcome in life, to be able to evolve.

ErikShoemaker In reply to arcangeltowers [2011-05-04 12:25:45 +0000 UTC]

thank you Your interpretation is not so far away from mine and the piece is indeed about struggle. Glad you like it.
