I really like this. Like others said, I have heard the song "ring around the rosy" was based on the plague, something I found quite interesting...funny how classic children's songs and stories would never be written or marketed towards kids today.

Is this a reference to the plague? The song "Ring Around the Rosy" was based on the plague that occurred centuries ago.
The style and the details are entertaining. It's fun to look at "demented" children.

Yes it is... Well at first I didn't know, but when I searched on the net about it, I found some references... Some historians seem to disagree about it though.

Heh...it's great to find someone who also has interest in that topic. The plague interests me for freakish reasons.

Ah.. this looks great. I love the expressions on the dolls' faces, especailly how one is turning around slightly.
Using 'ring around the rosy' also works very well, seeing as it was about the plauge and such.
Very well done, I love it.

Great concept. The funeral pyre of corpses is especially well done.

Honestly what the song means, and this picture is so honestly creepy. :shudder: But, my God, your work is just so good that I can't look away.

i just started singing that in a creepy way in my head, oh great. Awesome work you have here. Very creepy atmosphere you have developed. Love the creepy characters holding hands dancing around the burning corpses. Very impressive work
