When the world is sick, can't no one be well. But still I dreamt we was all beautiful and strong.

God Bless Our Dead Marines -- A Silver Mt. Zion

Woke up with the above line in my head about a week ago and just had to paint something based on it.

Tried as hard as I could to get the scan to look right. Still not quite there.

Worked very very hard on this one. I really enjoyed how the tea came out. Just how I'd hoped.

Everyday, I look at this and I still wonder why this wasn't a daily deviation. Its just too beautiful not to be. :/

Thank you. And to answer your question, it's probably because the piece I did right before this was a DD. They do try to share the love a bit.

I'm very glad you enjoy it. I worked hard on it!

I like how dark it gets closer to the centre.. adds a lot of impact to the rest of the light-watercoloury image. Concept came out beautifully~

I love how the dark colors in the middle make the other colors seem much more vibrant. Great composition - the way the wings and the color splats are positioned gives it the look of a minor explosion ^-^ The strong ink lines ensure that the details remain sharp. The tears and the butterfly and the skeletal frame all work together and really fit the idea/title. Nice work!
