Description This is one of my deepest pictures I've drawn so far, haha. It depicts an octopus, with a human head, and a city as the face. The head depicts the government, or capitalism. In the buildings the top one says the word in morse code through the windows C-A-P-I-T-A-L-I- and the two buildings below it say S and M in the greek alphabet. The largest building on the face says

"This world has some much in store and so little to plant it's soil into, we have plundered, destroyed, and corrupted the nature of society as it is, and it is our job to resurrect what we have long destroyed." written in Arabic (my writing is a bit bad).

The actual body depicts society and how it has many holds with all of its' different arms, it also upholds and supports the government and it's views, since without society the government could not exist, and with the government (or head) the body (society) could not exist either.

I added the splatters to put a bit of variety in it as well

hope yall like it!

Very interesting but cool style. The red makes a nice yet vivid background and the main subject itself is really cool.

And you can't go wrong with political commentary in art.

Good job. This is really neat.
