Artist Comment

I have come curiously close to the end, down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,
Defeated, I concede and
Move closer
I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness
How pitiful

It's calling me...

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The moon tells me a secret - my confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me

Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting
"Reflection" by Tool

Au revoir.

I like that there is simplification from the original CD album, which I went googlingi for to compare. The muscle fibers are not draw individually, but rather the vector used the outlines of the dark burgundy to create the effect of lines in the muscle and also a very artsy feel.

Even with some simplicification in the muscle fibers, the overal level of detail is incredible. The minute variations in color in the halo and the complex patterns is very well captured.

    I absolutely love this style of yours... it's so oil painting like, and the detail is just O____O mind boggling. The atmosphere in this is great! Oh this is just wonderful ^_^

    Incredible, the colors, the skin, the depth of the wallpaper itself, impressing from all ends, vectorizing a CD cover? priceless idea here, and you actually bring out something from it. It is really good.
    I lack comments and actually anything good from me is crap anyways. Great walling, that is all I have to say.

    Hey, I almost thought Amano-sensei new image. :) This is really cool. Was it something like we human look alike from the inside?

    Wow, impressive looking... @_@

    Hmm... I am sorry, I'm quite late to comment on this one, but I didn't know what to say about it! I also don't know Tool... nor the original cover of the CD. Anyways the vector is really detailed... I have no idea how long it took you to make this vector. What I think is really good is that "oil painting style" like Kuromisa said. The "background" looks impressing. I just miss your personal "addition" to this vector. Maybe it is the oil painting style... I cannot really know because I don't know the original. Anyways... for such a detailed vector you do deserve another fav! ;)
    A bientot!

    "So crucify the ego before it's far too late
    To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical
    And you will come to find that we are all one mind
    Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable
    Just let the light touch you and let the words spill thorough
    Just let them pass right through, bringing out our hope and reason."

    <3 for tool and <3 for you..this is awesome
