Description The largest influence for this is a song by Neuroactive by the same title.

For annoyance, here are the lyrics:

" Keep the style, don´t change
Always remain the same
Just shine, ingratiate
In light but don´t delay
On the edge, on the edge…

Don´t say a word, don´t break
Your code don´t make mistakes
Don´t slip or hesitate
Just hide your inner state
On the edge, on the edge…

Keep it safe and sleek,
Keep it nice and neat
So cold and ultraclean,
Don´t you ever feel
The shrieking of your nerves,
Anxiety emerge
Just keep on laughing loud
With the worthless herd
On the edge, on the edge…

Artificial joy,
Superficial fun
Cold and monochrome
Your superficialdome
On the edge"
---

For some reason, I always wanted to make something that represented the song for me. I know, it may not be much, but I'm trying!!

The background was rendered by me so were the screws and wires.

The softening of this image made it blend beautifully. I like how the lips stay 3-D realism when everything else takes on a flattening look.

That 3-D aspect was something that I had not realized before! I do love it when people can point out things that I overlook!

Thank you so much!

I agree with you, that's why I like being here at DA. I want honest comments and interesting complements, and I try to do the same when I write about an image. I'm glad I saw something that you did automatically without being aware of what was happening. Sometimes the good things happen that way, when we're not fussing over it!

well if I understood well, and anyway if I didn't ( ) that mask suggests hiding someone's true self, as the lyrics say something superficial, a different face, a lie. great work! thanks for sharing

very beautiful and expressive! excellent job with the stock and the rendering. just a tiny bit of airbrushing around the upper right part of her head?

Thank you! I've been actually airbrushing all of the colors in with the model's faces and bodies. It smooths out any marks and grain. I'm still working on it, though. I just learned how to do it about a month ago...and it doesn't help that I'm stuck back to using a mouse.

Mmmm, like this face, and look, and pose, so final... (and hearcut of course)

Rotten-Alice [2005-11-13 19:30:26 +0000 UTC]

This is absolutely breath-taking! I love the colors. For some reason it makes me think of a death mask, because it seems so heavy and final.

neserit In reply to Rotten-Alice [2005-11-15 07:13:28 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm...yes, it does look a bit like a death mask! You're right.

I wish I can say more than "Thank you!" right now. Here, just have one of these:

Thank you!!! I never thought I would actually make something unique. You know, afraid that it's been done before and to death.
Thank you for the !!

Thank you! Glad that you really love the hard work that that background was. About five tries before that worked!
