Beautiful, in a disturbing sort of way. Lovely, nonetheless...

It is said that if a bunch of monarch butterflies flap their wings while migrating for the winter then a hurricane is produced somewhere in the world.

Im still bloody sketchy on this comeback to wallpaper business because im now used to actually painting on canvas rather than photshopping a wallpaper on a comp but this was one of the few walls ive been working at for the past 2 weeks, yeah i know its kinda slow for me but what do i care. Anyway i got this scan from Candy-chan when she started to spulrt out most of Kouji Ogata scans (maker of the Boogiepop phantom series) and i love the expression on the characters face...deprived of her innocence... so i placed her somewhere near the water and correlated it with a bridge on the horizon, added the pole so you dont get lost in the mist and perspective of the whole bg. Still added the grunge touch with a little of the boogiepop keyhole effect to neutralize the plain white which would blind your eyes in an instant.
"The week of dead butterflies" was an actual title of mine for a painting i produced for an art show back at Feburary, which depicted of a woman throwing butterflies which flew upside down to preferably mean lost innocence thus showing the feleling of the artist. "Cvivismodi adeo veritas Cvivismodi adeo dvbitatio Cvivismodi adeo capvt itis" is latin for "what is truth, what is uncertainty and what is existence" these are one of the questions that i have sought but never have found yet... all my life its been a struggle to find meaning in everything I do and learn from though it would be fatal or worthwhile in the end, all i know is that we are tested everyday to the whims of both time and existence. Jean paul Satre (French philosopher) said "If you search for happiness all your life it would come to nothing" and a friend of mine then said "We are at a constant freedom until we die" then i counteracted the deal saying " There is no true happiness in the world", some of these sayings mean a lot to me no matter how unrelated to the subject of the whole wallpaper it is but if we could fid meaning in the things we do in life then we wouldnt be so oblivious to our de evolving human race which is sucked into warmongering and capitalist societies that we in fact can change all this... but im just one person.
Anyway I hope you like it... ^_^
More resolutions coming soon in Imanimetions after the sites been updated.

OracleAngel has a history of making fabulous wallpapers, specialising in the grunge section, and this time, he's done it again. The colours and textures blend wonderfully to create the atmosphere we see here. In simple terms, the entire wallpaper has been put together almost flawlessly.
It's a wonderful piece of artwork OA, and keep 'em coming! Don't you stop walling (or we'll come and get you!). =D
