Description
This took too many hours in photoshop. time i should have been doing uni asignments.This is not an anti-war propaganda piece. Its more something that came from a thought i was having the other day. Just how much we humans use violence to solve our problems. Does this solve them? How quickly do people resort to some form of violence when threatened, cornered or restrained.
The latin writing at the top roughly translates to "Hell calls Hell", a latin saying meaning 'One mistep leads to another'.
We use violence to solve our problems, get our way... but does this just lead to more violence?
Yeah i know.... this leads to a lot of philosophical and ethical discourses...
Anyway.. enjoy..

EDIT

I love it. It represents how we use violence as a form of negotiation. "Don't bomb my country and we won't bomb yours."

As always a beautiful touch, but I am sure you will get more constructive criticism elsewhere. Just wanted to let you know I like it.

I favorited this i-don't-know-how-long ago, but I felt I must come back and comment. This is a very nice peice, both in concept and in execution. (It always seems I fail in one or both of those categories). The only thing I would change (And even this only slightly is the red in the blood on the background. It seems off, and not as striking as it could be. But then again, That may have been the purpose, but such is the universal 'wall' to critiquing art, and literature for that matter.
Well done, and good luck in the future.

Good piece.
Thing is that violence will always be an option because some people just do not listen, or make entirely unreasonable demands.
Communication only works if the other party is willing to cooperate. When communication fails, what's left? There are times walking away just isn't an option.
