Description ... or 'THE SOCIAL LIVE PARADE'...
or
... 'THE HUMAN TROPHIES EXIBITION'

Nevermind!

This was made with my Wacom Volito tablet. It's all freehand.
I had this idea some time ago but I was too affraid to draw the transparencies. Have been avoiding it...
So, I finally found some courage to let it all go. It didn't hurt that much. I'm not too pessimist about the result. Although I needed some reference to draw the animal body.
That, in case it doesn't look like one, it is a Fissalia ,a living organism (or several organisms each one with a specific function) that lives at the surface. I read about it some time ago and it really fascinated me.
It represents the society here...
Ok! That's enough!

So, hope you like it. This is nothing visually spectacular but I decided to submit it because it is important to me.

Thank you!

First thing I thought of when I saw this: Man o' War, how appropriate!. It looks like one of those, if it isn't one in actuality. That very direct symbolism makes a strong statement against the nature of mankind, along with all the other ideas. Plus the concept of a baby in a bubble thing is just too awesome to pass up ^.^. Lourvely painting skills too!

quanto ao resto... as cores parecem-me um bocado frias, quase como se o embriΓ£o estibesse morto... se Γ© isso q queres dizer... q a nossa sociedade esta morta para uma serie de questΓ΅es, concordo.
