Description
just something to get me inspired again..the face is my own, taken during the same drunken photosession as postapocalyptic , painted & ID - white.masked .
textures & barbed wire royalty free stock from sxc.hu
border & splat brushes are my own.
title from the Android Lust song, Cherished Agony.
Cherished agony
Have you not swallowed the last drops of pride
That have dripped on your tongue
Have you not inhaled the stench
That rises as you walk
In your sweet dreams
This childlike monster caresses your back
You hear the peals of laughter
Do you feel you are submerged in acid bath
Cherished agony
Have you now descended
To the bowels of your fear
Sensing it's the end
You've surrendered to the whims of this monster
Your will has shattered
Betrayed by innocence
You remember each act of rejection
As you reach for a stint of affection
Does it matter how you suffer
Your will has shattered
Crushed by innocence

wow, the textures look great on this. I wouldn't of believed that the barbwire was added digitally, it looks real, or am i mistaken?
anyways, awsome "smile" and theet.

well, there's always the soft rubber kind for halloween props, that you could then photoshop to look more real. Just an idea in case you ever want to try something more complicated with this kind of wire

I don't like piercings on pictures like this, it ruins the "madness", It makes a picture go from 100% to 50.

I understand, I have that problem myself. But it's a great shot.

eau du, marylin monster...
but has a distinct flavour to it.
like the textures around the mouth, something seems to get lost though in the surroundings. perhaps that was the point? nice work,
D.

I thinnk that above all I really like the compositon of this. The crop & angle accentuate the intense, provocative expression. Well done yet again.

Dude! You know what you should do???? Make a bazillion 'cards' like that and call them the different forms of pain and have a bunch of representation of pain from as far as 'toture' to 'heart break'
just an idea like that cus first glance made me think of it :S
