Description
I used a trust widescreen tablet and photoshop CS5 and a lot, a lot of hours.This picture has a lot of symbolism and a short description is that what you see would be my soul riding a lion and that lion would be my brother to which I owe who I am today and I would glady give my life to him so that he can live on and be who he is ,for me he is what I believe in and who I'm aiming to be like.
(Thank you for reading this, I made the description bellow as short as I could for if anyone has more time to read it and for the judges because I don't want to waste ayones time)
In depth description ^_^:
(about the artwork)
So that person in red is my soul and the lion is my brother or I should say that the lion is the power he gives me to fight the darkness in my life. The red wraps that emerge from the body of the lion and the person riding it are the pass of time and how it goes away desintegrating and turning into nothing till there will be no more wraps to consume.
(to who and why)
So my brother is a big part of my life and a big help every time I have a problem ,he is 4 years older than me and he took care of me when my parents were away working hard to give us a better life.
I had times in my life where I thought "man it would be so sweet if I could end it all right now" and that is because I want to be a good artist and do this for a living but it gets hard for me to do so when most people including my parents are disappointed in the path I've chosen. Everyday is the same thing people are telling me they don't uderstand why I've chosen art and then there is alway my brother who encourages me and he uses this words , he somehow mekes me feel so...full and I feel like I can achieve anything. I cant say more because is hard to say in words how much he means to me, he is the only reson in my life that keeps me going .
P.S. sorry for my english if there are any grammar errors I did my best to write this as well as I could.Thanks for reading.

Me too
Now I'm not sad , I'm hapy that I didn't make it . I feel my art level doesn't deserve that huge prizes
but I learnt a lot when I made my entry (how to make rain and this kind of things ).
I've find another contest where the prize is an intuos tablet. The deadline is 2015 spring and i'll try it
I didn1t lose my interest in challenges
it's a bit late but I wish you a wonderful Christmas and a Beautiful New Year
