Well, heya all. Sorry I haven't been posting as much these days, but I've been rather busy. Anyway, the below image was created for my art class. The assignment was to create a cd cover. Woop dee doo. Most people are doing backstreet boys stuff (blech). So I decided to do something "out there."

At first, I took a picture of a bunch of burning barbie dolls on a grill, covered in gas (trust me, it was amazing). But I used an advantix camera for the shot, so I don't think I will be able to use it for the project (since it won't meet the deadline).

Ok, after the babbling, here's the pic. The idea was given to me by Darkmoon (aka Lisa aka Dm). Thanks dm!

Oh yeah, I meant to make it blurry to get the general shapes. And also, if you can't tell, it's a picture of an old lobotomy procedure (through the eye and wash out the brain). Took about 2 hours after the barbie incident.

That's a cool pic. Very dark and moody. The lack of detail and clarity make it too difficult to understand though. I would have never thought it was a lobotomy. Looked to me like someone getting shot in the forehead... Oh, and if you think THAT is gory, look at Walletface's "Dethrone" pic...

Yeah, I see what you mean about the clarity of it. However, I sorta went that way just to make you wonder what it really is. I think I may change it a little to make it a little clearer (is that a word?). Thanks for your input!
