Posted this on GF, but thought i would open up here with this image, my second latest. Its more of a chaotic image.

Story behind image is my copy from GF:

"... About a year ago, my friend got shot point blank in the face by a 9mm handgun at a house party while trying to get rid of some guys because the party was over. Anyways, the bullet entered under his right eyeball and stopped at the back/top of his brain.
He was in a comma for a very long time.

A year has now passed by, and he is very active and back to his normal life like nothing every happened; miracle! Physically he is fine. Just a bit of eye sight problems. The bullet is still in his head because the doctors are scared of removing due to more damage that may be caused.

The point of this picture was to show that the firing of the bullet going out of the barrel froze in time and his entire life flashed before him. This image is more of a personal look at a gun goin off and life in general...i will try to change it around to fix up the bullets. "

PS. Sorry about the size of my sig, i will change it around to fit the 375x50 measurements.

The colors are very 'hot' and they do have that chaotic mix. For the most part I feel its a very strong piece. The only thing that seems to throw it off a little is the text in the bottom right. I am not sure if its the text itself , or if its the outer glow on the text that seems out of place.

Thanks on the sig thing. :) Actually your sig is not one I would be overly concerned about anyway as it doesn't affect the formatting and its very lite in Kb...Ithink I will change it to 400 pix wide so dont worry about it.

Welcome aboard Juri. :D

It is a very strong image :)

The only part that I am not to keen on is the bottom right of the image. I feel it doesn`t fit in with the image. The texture`s are very nice and bold.

Good work!


BTW: I like your site too :D

That's a brutal story but I am glad to hear that your friend is ok. That is a real miracle that he survived that. About the image, like i said before in another picture like that these aren't the kind of images I go for. But I think for how the image came about you picked the right colors.

Sorry the reply isn't more useful. :)
