Description
It really belonged to Dark category, but maybe someone's afraid of hanged skeletons.A self-portrait of sorts. Imitation of death to avoid real living, caused by fear, pain and other unpleasant reasons. I suspect it's not only my sin, though. Take all the pseudo goths I know, for example.
Gallows, skeletons: (I requested and they were made almost right away. I'm in awe. Thank you.

[link] it's a bit grotesque and a bit gipsy-ish, but I hope, you'll like it.

It's actually a great song. Very dark-circus-kind-of song, I love it.

Well yeah, I just believe in one focal point within an artwork piece otherwise it fails somewhat in its purpose.. I know I know.. a tad harsh lol.. but I still really like this along with other pieces in ur gallery!!

Fascinating piece, I don't like how the moon is so dominating over the girl.. but aside from that personal touch its gorgeous

You mean, the moon is taking all the attention on itself, right? It looked too captivating in blue/green shade, so I couldn't resist and gave the lead to it. Of course, it dulled the general idea a bit.

You have a truly amazing style and imaginative mind. The composition and overall image is just fantastic.

Cool work, I think one of your best, I am happy you have made it your avitar. She has such a pretty dress, I hope it does not get ripped playing around in trees.
So what are psudo goths like?

I wanted a "Fight club" avatar, but couldn't find or make something that would reflect the movie message perfectly, so I had to go with it. Thank you.
"Pseudo goth" is a person who talks about rejection of life all the time and desire to die any second. I don't know much about gothic culture, not am I the part of it, but something tells me that it's not exactly about treatening to die, in public. They continue to call themselves "goths", though. I'm a pessimist, but I respect life enough not to reject it when someone is looking or listening to me, to draw more attention. Is my point somehow clear?

I really do like this style of yours... so unique and full of little detail gems.

I just love cards, old books and pin-up girls.

Dude... I've been sitting here for five minutes trying to think of something semi-intelligent to say about this, but the words have escaped me. The symbolism is (pardon the pun) to die for.

Oh, someone just had to portray the most common problem of our generation somehow. 
Thank you.

I think that's part of what's so great about this. It unifies people of all backgrounds because we *all* bury ourselves from time to time. You're welcome!

Another great job. I can definitely see the whole concept going on here, her trying to hang herself up with the corpses that are really dead to escape her own life. It's one of those pieces you have to look at twice to read between the lines as they say, and I like those. The girl in the background with her head hanging down is very creepy. Nice inclusion.

I found the girl in the back via resources forum on dA. I've already lost my hope, but someone dropped me a link, God bless this person. You read the idea correctly. Thank you.

Excellent! The tree is SO much better than the gallows would have been! Good move!

I'll save gallows for future. It's the only clear frontal full view of gallows on dA resources after all. Thank you for great resources and a great comment, too

I did notice that you used a bit of it in the lower section after all.

I think it's quite easy to transfrom this gallows into "hanged-man style", just make it shorter and add a diagonal plank.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's the style! Like the game hanged man. I saw how you transformed it on a small scale. I just wonder how good, or bad, it would look in a more central focus. I might just do one, anyway.
Let me know if you need the trap door/s opened, or if erasure might work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you make one, you'll get not only my personal gratitude. I hoped to get bigger choice of gallows on dA. It's such a powerful old symbol.
I'll let you know when I be close to finishing. Because the idea can transform a few more times and you'll be opening and closing the trap doors for me for million times.

I don't have a problem remodeling for someone as appreciative as you've been already.

I love the depth of the composition; the multiple hangings going back. So, now we've moved onto dresses that feature skeletons?

I thought skeletons would underline the absurdity of faking death while living. The upper part of it is sister's giant kerchief, I just love to steal it. Thank you.
