Description Took almost two weeks to complete, was a pain in the ass to complete, and was created using MS Paint.

This image features a guy trying to kill himself by jumping off a bridge at the dead of night and another person is trying to talk some sense to that guy. Suicide has become a serious problem in many places, even in developed countries. Suicide is always an irrational and irresponsible thing to do, but many were push to doing so due to financial or emotional issues.

Part of the "Life of a Bridge" series.

EDIT (7 Nov): Add a few lil' details here and there, and most of the vehicle lighting have be recoloured to be yellow.

This is awesome work man, i love how you even did the shadows of the 2 people in the headlights.
I must've stared at this for close to 5 minutes, so much detail.

Amazingly done.

Cool. I read an article in the New Yorker about the Golden Gate bridge and people who jump off it. It says that when you hit the water your ribs are crushed, piercing your lungs and practically killing you instantly. Makes you think...

I like this a lot, it has a ton of minor details such as the lights that make it that much better.

Lovely, a very subtle sort of piece. I like all the darkened colours you've used, and small details like the grime on the bridge and the water are fantastic. I love that bus (Is that an Aeris Suburbia he's driving?) but maybe you could tone the lights down a bit cos they take away from the whole 'dark' feel a tad.

Nice work man, ms paint is a lovely program when dudes know how to work it.

this is curently my favorit piece of artwork of all that you have submitted here. love the fact that it has a whole worldly fell to it, as if we are actualy peering into a smaller world like our own.

your style continues to amase me, its so dark and detailed with alot of black lines for definition, but it works so well with your style! also love your attention to detail,

keep it up
fav,

p.s. the water is just too awesome, and its such a minor detail!

Hey this is fantastic! Prety detailed dude! I am not a massive fan of the lights though, I dunno there is something about them that looks weird but I dont think it could be done any better!

This is sweeeeet!

Nice work, keep it up!

zoanoid [2003-07-15 12:06:52 +0000 UTC]

Nice. I think you should have made the car lights all yellow (like the ones in the top). For the rest it's a cool pic
