Description ... or 'THE SOCIAL LIVE PARADE'...
or
... 'THE HUMAN TROPHIES EXIBITION'

Nevermind!

This was made with my Wacom Volito tablet. It's all freehand.
I had this idea some time ago but I was too affraid to draw the transparencies. Have been avoiding it...
So, I finally found some courage to let it all go. It didn't hurt that much. I'm not too pessimist about the result. Although I needed some reference to draw the animal body.
That, in case it doesn't look like one, it is a Fissalia ,a living organism (or several organisms each one with a specific function) that lives at the surface. I read about it some time ago and it really fascinated me.
It represents the society here...
Ok! That's enough!

So, hope you like it. This is nothing visually spectacular but I decided to submit it because it is important to me.

Thank you!

It makes a profound statement.

I am not really good in expressing my thoughts about why i like something...all i can say is that it had an impact on me and that is the most important when it comes to art...
Thank you for you lovely work.

"Allegory or duty... "... or 'THE SOCIAL LIVE PARADE'...
or
... 'THE HUMAN TROPHIES EXIBITION'"

Compreende-se perfeitamente a tua mensagem neste trabalho que é fantástico. Ter um filho devia ser, realmente, muito mais do que isto. Um dever social ou um troféu para que os outros saibam e reconheçam a virilidade ou fertilidade de outros. Muito mau princípio social, não tenho dúvidas quanto a isso. Por isso encontra-se muitas crianças ainda a sofrerem necessidades básicas de abandono e falta de tempo que são desculpáveis com a falta de paciência ao fim do dia de trabalho e o peso na cabeça de muitos como algo "quase insuportável" A verdade é que deveria ser o símbolo tão só e apenas do amor, de uma entrega consciente e desejada. Deveria ser o símbolo do amor por um ser que nos regenera e nos ensina tanto mais quando nós lhe poderemos dar. Paula, a primeira vez que olhei este teu trabalho, considerei-o tão maravilhoso que não deitei atenção ao nome ou à descrição mas hoje, talvez por estar mais sensível ao facto, apercebi-me desta verdadeira mensagem social que não é benéfica, sendo gerada nestes parâmetros, nem para quem se sente obrigado a gerar "algo" que garanta um lugar social de alguma forma. Este embrião que já é um ser em crescimento deveria ser uma dádiva e não um troféu. Espero que aos poucos se mude o conceito social existente no nosso País. E os poucos que pensam o contrário que se proliferem e transmitam em cada palavra a verdadeira razão da existência de um fruto que vai sendo gerado e criado na àrvore do amor. Excelente Paula, é maravilhoso o teu trabalho.

Sometimes the imagery itself does not have to be as spectacular as the idea it conveys...

and this one conveys the idea very successfully...

Good work!
