Description This too, must be among the most fucked up pieces I've created thus far. Have to work with the texture a bit. This is actually a mix of two images. The original photo and the textures. I classified it as a manipulation, so that the Purists(tms) can't whine about the slight use of stamp tool.

(c) 2011

The (free) canvas texture used in this image, is from here:

Very nice, blends great. Always a good concept too.

Might I ask exactly how you pulled this off though if the photo itself isn't manipulated?

Thanks. I used a latex mask with the model's face. He then contorts his mouth through the mask. Make sense?

You know...
I can see why this might constitute as a frightening... or disturbing piece... but I actually really feel for this creature.

The title suggests a long term silence... perhaps forced... perhaps out of necessity... perhaps out of an undesirable circumstance. Intense suffocation. His pained expression, and the fact that his eyes seem to be missing, tells me that this creature has been within a perpetual hell of sorts.... for quite some time. Unable to express any sound or sign of discomfort.

Language, I wonder... how many times did he try to scream out, before he forced his way to the surface? And does he even make a sound?

Intriguing.

It's hard to put it into words really. The face distorted beyond recognition and the mouth being pulled at as if to prevent the words coming out seems to me to be like a struggle to speak. Kind of. Almost like we are forced to abandon language to be understood, if that makes any sense.

What? Voldemort can go fuck himself. The teeth belong to the model himself, thank you very much. Gods forbid, this image has not been in *any way* inspired by Harry Potter and his bunch of piss-ant "magicians". It has also not been influenced by Hellraiser's Chatterer-cenobite, even though that would be way more likely.

Glad you like this work, though.

I already did, just decided to offer you a weak wooden stick of continuation bluff which you eagerly took. Alas, to no avail.

How an Earth would a discordian be pestered by doubt ? You really don't know anything about their wonderful mindset. Maybe this famous wordly string of wise guidance aka old poee slogan, will enlighten discordian chaotic snub to you a bit :

" When in doubt, fuck it. When not in doubt, get in doubt. "

So Mr. hoodelwinkelydink... did you really think that doubt makes a discordian uncomfortable ??

Thanks. Hmm... I belive he's already been in some movies:

Seriously, my model just came up with this pose on his own... I doubt he's even seen the Hellraiser movies. Thus this is not a "tribute" to the Chatterer-character of series.
