A daily deviation? Thank you so much guys, ever since I started doing photo manipulations I have been working hard to try to get one of these. It means a lot to me and I can't thank you guys enough
This piece has a lot of meaning in it and it can be interpreted in many different ways. Let me know what it means to you! I'd love to hear it

Talk about impact!
From the bagged dripping head to the twins and to the eeire background it certains creates a wow factor and pulls you in for another look to see what else can be seen.
The opposite thoughts around a male character and the carrying of twins is an interesting composition and certainly makes for another talking point. I especially like the colour brought into the piece in this area and certainly draws you in.
Areas for suggestions are on the mans arm (his right but our left when looking straight on) you can clearly see just above the elbow the photoshop effect used to create the drip effect and a little more retouching here would have removed this. I would also suggest that the branches directly behind the character could have been improved a little by taking into account a more accurate reflection in the water behind but that is just a minor point.
Great work and much deserved daily deviation.
Thanks for sharing!

Wow. This is very thought provoking, and imaginative. I really enjoy the dark nature of the piece, with the violet light emanating from the middle, making an excellent focus point for the piece. The melting of the human is done very well, and shows that living life and making life takes a lot out of a person, or at least, that's what I got from it.
I like the fact that you made the person modern, making the piece very relateable. Even being able to tell the person is modern is great on its own. The sack on his/her head adds a very cool effect, and can be interpreted different ways, making it imaginable. The scenery behind is gorgeous and just adds to the feeling of the piece, especially since it's black and white.
And finally, the twin fetuses in the stomach. Very awesome. Not only is the symmetry well done, but the feeling of them surrounding the heart and touching it adds for a wonderful image. The colour is also nice, since it seems to be emanating from the heart, and illuminating the fetuses, as if they were hidden in the shadows.
All in all, an excellent piece, from being visually stunning to thought provoking. I absolutely love this piece, and the fact that it's a Daily Deviation should be proof enough. Well Done!

A very dark and thought provoking piece and where I agree with almost everything you said, I have just one question; what makes the person 'modern'?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just the clothing the person is wearing. The grey shorts and grey tee make him seem like he's from the 21st century. I didn't do an excellent job of explaining that hahaha.

I find your image kind of "special" because well.. I don't how to tell , mixed media and the elements you put in , make it look " out-of-place" (don't know the proper word , but the idea is that elements doesn't not fit together)
like it have no original "harmony" in the different things you put together to make the picture. xD better?

It was just a perception! don't take it bad.
My perception
and before , because I looked your picture again..
it was the color.. and the elements , it gave me that feel...
Well , now , it is just gone. But I still remember it. xD
Because i'm not accustomed to , it can be that xD.
But now.. and well , it is special , because of the them .. not the them in itself , but , because , how you did represent it!
But I liked it because I put my own meaning in the element , and it talks to me.
But well , art, you know.. xD
