The arrow works really well in relation to the body, not sure the type on the body works brilliantly though?

It was a piece I had to work typography into, at some point I am going to redo this piece, now being more adept with photoshop, thanks for comment

Holy shit. This is a bit shocking. I think I would like the pic a bit more without all the words. It might be more powerful with the words there only once. Then, it would be easier to see you for how scary that is. Also, it looks a little edited around the stomach. I'm sure it would still be shocking without that. I don't know if you were just trying to get rid of the background or not, but the black looks a little unnatural. Other than that, very powerful and scary piece. Bravo.

Yeah I think I was trying to darken the background poorly, like with the brush tool or something. It's an old piece of work and I'd like to think my skills have improved.
Thanks for your comments

In my opinion, I think it may look better if the words blended in more. Right now, they just seem a bit intrusive. Also, at least to me, some of the things you tried to express in it aren't very clear. For example, the red arrow on top. I think if you made it more clear that more people would get it.

Because it was an aritist response for my coursework I used his style to portray my point. If I add a explanation it might clear it up, or explain it in another way visually, thank you for your critique

I understand this soooo well
I used to be an bulimic-anorexic
basically each time I ate I neede to make myself throw up
I say used to be but that's not entirely true...
it's rare but it's till happens from time to time...when I'm really upset
because the reason behind it is never just the weight
there's always something else that makes you go a step over the edge and kill yourself slowly...
*emo mood off*
sorry for that
I always need to ramble when a pic gets to me
nice piece of work there

Don't worry, glad you rambled if it meant you got/understood it
but yeah I'm anorexic/bulimic (well have been about 4 years...)but tackling recovery properly for the second time and trying to change my ways.
Argh, I'd prefer to think a little more rational
