Description
Sometimes the greatest hurt and pain in our life comes not from without but from within our own selves. It is fed by events outside our control, but its pain is rooted deep inside. If we do not deal with it the thorns of pain tighten around us, suffocating us from within.Created in Photoshop CS5 (trial)
(EDIT: Thought you like to know this artwork was used the 4th expansion of "Cutthroat Caverns" - [link] )

Lovely piece. Great color choice and technique. I love the position of the figure, it's almost as though he (she? it?) is allowing himself to be ensnared by his own hurt. I love the way the thorns, while wrapping around the figure, are not wrapping so tightly that he cannot get away. A great commentary not only on how we create our own pain, but that we can also free ourselves from our pain.
Unless I am just totally off. In which case, beautiful work.

Very nice, I love meaning behind it and how the thorns symbolize the pain inside. There's a lot of emotion and thought in this image, and it's expressed very clearly.

That's awesome! I love the design, execution and particularly the explanation since it is poignant to a book I am currently writing.

I really love this piece... i love the minimal nature of his expression, and yet so powerful at the same time. You can see the struggle in his burrowed frown. Well done!!!!
