I'm not big fan of this art style, but this is well executed and i doubt anyone could deny that. nice work, and congrats on gettin a DD (you're one of the few that actually deserve it... deviantart users don't always have the most 'critical eye' when accepting stuff... I'm glad this piece was recognized though.)

it was a combination of their idea and mine. They said here is what we want..these things represented somehow , so i decided on making them symbolic monsters to play with the very pulp idea of a cover.

I thinkit's a wee bit more than society. Yes it is overdone and emo, but that doesn't change the fact that it's true.

There are a lot of good things about our world, and frankly I don't know where I'd be living other than where I am now. That doesn't mean there isn't a lot to be desired.
A lot.

i agree its a very overdone concept, but regardless it was fun to do something familar as this and put it in the pulp/horror stlye.

yea, but in an album cover, that's really the function... in reality, the concept isn't the artists, it's the musicians idea. I DO agree with you that it's a tired idea... buuut, it's done well none the less.

Awesome art piece. It's quite the kind of cover that can easily catch inquisitive eyesights. Good work!

war, medicine, capitalism .. racism ... politics ... large moguls controlling the politics ... awesome ... and yet ... 'but in this world it's not the money that's evil. it's those who chose it over life' ... that is the song that this made me think of (in case anyone wonders ... murder ... by GC) ... awesome concept though ... i was suprised to find however that you didn't make fun of ppl ... like .. have a trumpish looking character be the puppeteer or something like that ... love the way that the plains are old comic style btw

that picture is stuffed with symbolism ... now ... it might be that i've been listening to it all year ... or that it just fits ... but this picture screams out that it could be the cover of a manson cd ... you could make some serious cash that way

i just have to say, it really struck home. especially the guy with the religeous symboles all over him. it is just so hard for me FATHOM. If a god can be so peaceloving, why would people blowthemselves up in his name. I think thats the biggest thing i took from this art piece.
