Description
"Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world"
-W.B. Yeats "The Second Coming
Shaken into doing this, put aside all my real work at the moment I felt like doing this. So that was nice.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Absolutely. I have finished pillaging your gallery, I must say I'm very pleased with the collection of favorites I've acquired. You really do have quite a talent, don't ever give up on it.

This is amazing! Very intense (and it looks kind-of painful too)!
I love the dark and cool colours you used, somehow makes it even more fascinating. Great job

This is really good stuff. Reminds me of the title card in SN and the flames in Sammy's eyes all at the same time.
