This is a upclose shot, for anyone who wants to see a bit more detail. Lol.

Its an inverted cross, and an inverted cross is a protest against the church. Its inverted for me. And I love my life. I do NOT believe in God or a God. So I did this make-up, kinda like a protest. But not in a big way. In my own small way. If your offended. I am not sorry. Because that is how the world works. There are going to be things in life you cannot stop, and you will not like. Its life. But here is my art. And if you are offended, put that aside & simply look at the art, my make-up. Thats all I ask.

In some of my photos though, the cross isn't inverted, so this is something for those of you who do believe in God or a God. Are you willing to die for your beliefs? Are you willing to stand there & protect them with everything you have inside of you? If so. Good for you. But do not judge others for not putting everything they are into something you believe & they dont.

This photo can mean alot of different things- for different people. But what it means to me is. I will protest your beliefs if you stand there and say I am the one who is gonna burn for not having your beliefs. So I am protecting my beliefs as I am protesting yours. Ya get it?

But everyone has their own way of viewing things & so on. So this series can be taken several ways. And I am gonna be honest. If someone has a problem, I dont care. This is my way. And I will protect it to the death


Comments & faves are GREATLY apprecaited




IT'S SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKE-UP ~

Very nice. I agree with everything you said too. Were people giving you a hard time because of the photo? Laying the whole "Believe in god and everything will be better!" crap?

im sorry but your statment that "there are going to be things in life you cannot stop" is slightly wrong, the application of a half decent sniper rifel bullet to the right person can stop and change a lot of diferent possible events. I DO STRESS THAT I AM NOT OFFENDED ALTHOUGH I DO BELIEV THERE IS A GOD I DO NOT RESTRICT MY SELF TO ANY RELIGION THERE ARE TO MANY HYPOCRYTS.

"im sorry but your statment that "there are going to be things in life you cannot stop" is slightly wrong" It's an opinion, my opinion. Just because it's not your's doesn't mean it's wrong. You just don't think the same.

The term "wrong" in this case, since it's my opinion, is infact bullshit fiy.

GrotesqueDarling13 In reply to Black-Synkronize [2009-08-07 10:49:47 +0000 UTC]

Well with really deep wounds/cuts, the blood is dark,
It looks black. So I didn't want the wound to look shallow,
I wanted the cross to seem like it was branded into the arm, but it won't heal. Because it's an illusion that never goes away. So, it shouldn't be red, like it's nothing series at all. The color of the blood represents how religion has forever branded the world. In a negative way. So yea.

thank you sooo very much

These "wounds" are so much better than ANY LARPshop could offer..
I've done some in the past for those RPG Festivals like the "Drachenfest" and let me tell you.. For a make up effect THAT perfect, people use to pay around 30 to 40€!!
Respect!!

Hmmm... raised flesh along the incision simulating true torn skin... deep gouging. Very fucking kool. I have to say that's amaaaaazing as hell. Once again, a great reason for me to continue coming back on to deviant art... to see your amazing art get better and better, more detailed, gory, creeptastic, yet have a soft sense of beauty to it...
