very nice scan. The bandages give another impression, too. The background is rather dark but suits the picture. Very well done wallpaper. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
Artist Comment
I decided to create another grunge wall. Although typically, most grunge walls have text, swirls, and random images in the background I decided to keep the wall devoid of all those unecessary items and do some heavy texture work. I honestly think that the texture work is more important than frilly text lettering anyway.
After re-cging the middle section of the scan, I also decided to stay away from the browns and reds that frequent grunge walls and went for my favorite colors of blues. If you take notice to the background, you will see that it mimicks the the cloth "ropes" throught the wall. The criss-crossing pattern, textures, design, and appearance of swaying movement is used to tie the foreground with the background together.
The idea behind the wall is that the two you see are bound to each other in a literal and of course more meaningful way. The ropes themselves serve as what ties them together in the pyhsical world representing what one can actually touch and grasp, but the background of intermingling thoughts and feelings is what ties them together spiritually and engulfs them as a whole, much as the background is doing. You will notice this as the background itself seems to slowly creep up upon them.
The text is place in the bottom corner not only to serve as a signature, but to also add balance to the wall and to give it a more artistic flare. I felt placing it anywhere else would detract from the mood of the wall, much as adding BG text or swirls would. So, don't complain that it looks to empty because it's supposed to be empty to empahsize the overall mood ... and because I hate clutterd things.

Wall: Broken Heart
Reason:Make a grunge wall, plug a grunge wall. Or so it is in this case. Upon
viewing this wall, I felt that the use of mulitple colors and the seemingly floating fragments of the background look
quite well with the abstract mood and the girl.

And just to answer your question, no I don't like to tie guys up with ropes XD .
