Description So... where do I begin to explain myself? haha. I was listening to Nile the whole day, and when I sat down with this idea... it just dug away at me (Nile that is). So the idea was to depict the metal genre in a different light, controversial and false, with some elements of "metal" still in the work. Don't get me wrong, I love metal, anything from death, black, folk, melodic, prog, thrash, heavy, I listen to it all. Yea... it's a weird one.... hope you enjoy

yea, the whole dark theme is overated... seriously, metal is not about slotering and killing things, majority of metal is about MUSIC and composition, not the image.

So, what's the concept of this piece? I got it like the metal is winning, but the metal itself is the false light... is that the concept you wanted to express?

nope, I portrayed metal in a false light, like the media sets it off to be (the bottom part of it), and then the colors up top glamorize it.

thank you! yea, Nile is the epidemy of how awsome American death metal is, and why it beats European... well maybe not so much melodic death, but death in general, haha.

thank you!

I used some realy realy old blood splatter brushes, a grunge set that I've had for ages and personalized a bit, and just a bunch of dry media brushing. Most of the time I just use dry mediay brushes and go ape shit on the canvas

The dark silhouette works really well in contrast with the light background. I think the guys right leg might be a bit too long though
