Description
Sorry for the re-upload. Fixing my dA portfolio.I'll self-destruct and die, if you don't allow me breathing room.
Save me from my phobia of failing you again.
I'll self-destruct and die, from the strain of pleasing the masses.
I'm the dying pacifist.
I'm addicted to being something they will look up to and
I'm begging for someone, something, to bring me back to you...
Self Destruct and Die - Dead Poetic
Model - ~michealgrin
This is my contest submission for *DraculeaRiccy 's Seven Deadly Sins contest.
I chose Gluttony.
Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony (Latin, gula) is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste.
This would also qualify for the lesser known Acedia (Latin, acedia), apathetic listlessness; depression without joy. It is similar to melancholy, although acedia describes the behaviour, while melancholy suggests the emotion producing it.

I'm really enjoying my latest post-production editing process. Wooo!

Canada has no quarrel with Emptyville. You just take your troops out of here and invade Scotland.

*sets troops marching across the pond*
We'll have them by the end of winter, begging for mercy.

Is the pond frozen or not? If you send them marching across open water you may have a problem..aka - no troops left. It's hard to swim in armor.

The troops/pond scenario was actually a metaphor for fucking.
The troops are sperm and the pond is a very moist vagina.
:/
yeah.

Hey, get on MSN when you can, loads of penis-related stuff we need to discuss!

How can I refuse THAT.

"moist vagina" is either the most erotic or the most disgusting phrase ever. I can't decide which lol

I actually thought this was some sort of chess board or something, from the thumb! XD
This is so sickeningly well composed! 
And the concept is very nice...I like that you went to an original place with gluttony.

Thank you - I am ridiculously proud of this piece. I didn't think it would work out very well, but in the end, I think it did. It's probably my only piece I would brag about, because I took so much time with the composition and lighting, though the post-work was minimal, I'm very proud of it

If you set up and take the picture right, there's usually no need for much post-work. ^_^
I rarely do more than ten minutes on any photo, personally.

I'm not very good in photoshop, so all my post work HAS to be minimal, lol
I freaking get so frustrated that I'd rather scrap my work then keep trying to fix errors - so I think it shows a hundred fold more as I improve, considering how little of Adobe I know, so my pictures have to be natural - I use a sharpen, and sometimes a blur or a heal - if I'm making monsters I use a dodge and burn, and there, my friend, is the extent of my knowledge, haha

I really prefer not to have to do much. I know how to...but in general, I prefer not to.

Plus, at some point, it becomes very obvious that work has been to it and it doesn't look right. and we all want to avoid that. well, all of us who are worth a damn.
