Description My pride has fallen, and I've left it behind.

Through the wasteland of my own destiny, I know I'll walk alone.

There's only brief glimpses of the humanity I once knew, and I wonder if I am better off this way.

But, then again, more than darkness persuaded me upon this path...

and I'll come home again, once my destiny had come full circle.

'Ware me, my friends... 'ware me well...

very abstract portrayal of the subject, the very dismal lighting really highlights this, accenting the importance of the twilight. very superb as always-p.

shutterfaery [2004-06-11 14:50:18 +0000 UTC]

This is very intruiging. It's very dark and brooding...the way certain shapes or images in the piece are hidden or mysterious really helps on that one and it keeps you looking and wondering just what exactly is going on. Fitting title, there is much more than darkness going on here. I adore the moon.

wow I love the moon slightly obscured by the clouds (really reminds me of the Omen & warewolf in the new harry potter video). Great colours chosen, and well done on the way u emphasized and brought out the face to make it central to the whole thing.

My pride has fallen, and I've left it behind.
The pain and desolation is so well depicted in the man's tortured face and pained expression!
Through the wasteland of my own destiny, I know I'll walk alone.
I love the lonely path...where he will walk alone...but towards the light......
There's only brief glimpses of the humanity I once knew, and I wonder if I am better off this way.
...just a bit of light in the upper right corner...bleak, but bright at the same time, such as contrast to the very intense darkness all around!
But, then again, more than darkness persuaded me upon this path...
and I'll come home again, once my destiny had come full circle.
And he is facing the light, looking toward it, because that is where the path eventually leads, as bleak and lonely as it may be...there is always hope....just need to follow the light, however long it takes...the closer you get to the light, the brighter the light becomes!

This is the message I get comparing the beautiful prose and the unbelievably moving art you have created. Hoping that I am not too far off!

That moon is kick-ass!

I'm going to take a huge leap and tell you what I see, please correct me if I'm wrong (as time allows you).
I see street lights, a road, and the image at the bottom, a woman perhaps? An accident, maybe more. The blood upon his lips is what draws me to this conclusion
Either way once again you brought just enough light into the entire work. I love how you can make something so dark yet balance it so well with just a bit of light. Nicely done

myndbyndr [2004-06-10 12:11:44 +0000 UTC]

sparse detail, but the idea of this was obviously a overcompasing dark - which is thoroughly presented.
i think the effective part about this, is that it makes you think - makes you envision.

Celestial-SeraphiMan [2004-06-10 12:04:06 +0000 UTC]

This is splendid! I hope you don't mind my saying this, but this would make a great poster for Van Helsing if it weren't such a glorified B-movie!

Tristana [2004-06-10 12:02:05 +0000 UTC]

hmmm... the figure looks alive... I expect it to come out of the night, grab my hand and sweep me into the darkness for ever.
there is something extremely strong about this image... the thing is I can't quite point it yet. it's that light in the back... as if there are two mountains there, and an opening between them, and there is light on the other side, and maybe hope, but not for him. never... for him. nor for any other who might step on that ground.
such a dark, dark night.
