(My Sweet Death)

Model: me

Textures: ~lebstock


Edit: 16, June, 2006

Someone wrote in the thread below that we should embrace death as we do life...
this person hit the nail on the head so to speak, as this is exactly what I was
trying to convey in this piece.

Yes, I am quite ready to die.
Not that I would every take my own life.
I just don't fear death
I see it as a beginning
rather than the end.

I strongly believe that people hold
too strong a grip on this world,
i.e., life support machines, feeding tubes, etc.

I live every day and moment as if it were my last.
I race my motorbikes like a wildman and would
much rather die full of life than end up in an old
age home lying in my own crap.

Nice work. I love the over-saturated colours, very reminiscent of the old master style paintings. I wish I'd listened more during Art History classes, I'd be able to nail that down. I think it's Bottacelli (probably spelled incorrectly) who I am thinking of.

Thanks. Yes, I used overlay and color burn layers on the image of myself. Though I'm not sure if that created the random oversautration or if it is the texture layer.

The left eye and the top of the nose also appear a little more red than one would expect to see on a living person, but blood has a way of pooling when we die so I left it as is. ;)
