Description
Painting inspired by the British band Northern Oak.

He stands alone, bloodied and bowed, mops his furrowed brow and surveys the land of his lord.
The scythe he holds in his calloused hands.
Now heavier with soil than the blood of years past.

Severing marsh grass in the way, his forebears cut their cordiality with the clergy.
The grass proves unyielding, the scythe blunted by the efforts of years past.

A death in the marshes.
The defeat inglorious.
A death in the marshes.
The scythe slowly sinking into the mire.

Edit: A suggested category for this is photography, I'm currently smirking as I assume that means my painting is realistic enough to fool an algorithm into thinking it's a photograph.

Materials:
Intuos 4
Photoshop CS6

Time:
Painting: ~7 hours
