Very nice

acrylic?

Yes scorpy , acrylic on paper .

nice work - best wishes

very nice , like the simplicity and the colors flow nicely from shade to shade, I do think the stem shadow should have been right under the stem so as not to give the floating appearance, well done and g.l.

congrats.

did you use a color for the rain drops, or just lighten and burn?

Thanks for commenting. I used color for the rain drops.

Superb idea author and great execution...well done

This is beautiful, it looks so real!

Congrats

Nice Congrats

Thanks!

Sometimes the bars are on the inside.

great work!

Oooooooooh my goodness. The raw emotion that seeps from this is just ....powerful. what a statement. The stakes through the body are so symbolic...for every day we as humans face both those demons....our faith is tested and our self image is doubted...and daily we stand as if on a stage to the onlookers with their plastic smiles pasted acrossed their faces, waiting...as if their opinions mattered.
And somehow, even though we say the opposite, those opinions and expectations do matter. And they cut thru us in the most agonizing ways.
Id say well done, but its an understatement. I'm in awe.

the thumbnail looked like it was stretched skin (like a GIANT TATTOO!) awesome

Thank you for the comments and the fav's. This was hard to do emotionaly and the song kind of picked me. I diddnt plan it I just painted it.

Wooooow...now that is intense! You definitely captured the look of torment and pain in this painting which i feel can be hard to do. ..and this stirs up many emotions...it certainly fits the song lyrics. well done.

Powerful image, but really wonky anatomy in the neck and shoulder area. If you wanted more accurate proportions, the shoulders are 2 3/4 head widths across, and the neck should be 2/3 of a head width...His trapezius muscles just have me totally freaked out!

What a great piece author...but u did only a part of work...its missing politics,malice,bat taste and many many other nails....well done man

Thank you man! I needed that on this one. I think perhaps the very things you speak of have placed "Truth" in its grave and provides the steel to create the bars my man here is imprisoned/impaled by.
Perhaps the bars piercing his wrists should be entitled "good and evil"?
Thank you again.

Love the tune...and your work captures it well. Nice job!

Great lyrics

There is a heavy meaning/dream behind this drawing, I like it..but it's deep. Nice work.

Beautiful... just beautiful.

Thanks!

Wow.. this is mesmerizing! Awesome job author, this really invokes some vivid feelings.

It's that eternity of dirt that always drove me crazy.. but I know exactly what you mean good luck

Very interesting dreams. I like this creation.

Different and very thought provoking I like it .

cograts !!

congrats !!

Congrats, beautifully done

Thanks everybody!

I can't believe it! I had an incredibly similar idea, a few years ago. I just googled "Inverted Universe" to see if anyone else out there had to same idea, and you do!
I even thought of stars being cities on the other side!
Do you realise that if the air pocket was the diameter of the Earth, and the dirt was the same density as the inside of our Earth, then the bubble would have the same gravity as the Earth? Please please check this out:
