    The Subjugation of Spirit

    Something i started as a sci-fi piece back in Feb 2012 but FINALLY finished last week.. various events over the course of 2012 and the general environment resulted in it getting a slightly political tone.. here it is anyways..

    I think it's really neat! I kinda don't quite get it, and I'm sorry I don't have enough skill to critique you but I thought I'd share that I liked it anyway.

    Hey ryche! It looks kind of cool but it is pretty confusing cos of this big amount of information. I dont know how far it was your attention to create a pice with which people really need to spend time with and to think about in order to understand, but I think that you should try to create one very striking symbolism to get peoples attention. Something that people are able to understand and that makes them curious about the deeper meaning of the image. Then you can maybe add diffrent detais to give your pice more of complexity in matters of meaning and interpretation but I would suggest you not to overwhelm the viewer with informations that they cant put together, because the most of them, me included, will probably loose the interest pretty fast. I dont really now much about this kind of work but this was the first thought that came to my mind when I looked at your picture. Happy new year!

    Control in a theology of a subjugated formation digresses from exploration of spiritual progress. If the Spirit is not allowed to flourish within natural movements of Cosmic Approach it stagnates.Individual manifestations are important and have the power of a force to give revelations from higher realms. They are not to be suppressed by superstitions, but discerned by a Universal Intelligence.All is not yet discovered in the expansive knowledge of Cosmic Unity and there is much to learn of its existence.

    @Matelo & BickeringDog : Thanks! Ive got a similiar reaction from some friends .. This image is dangerously close or already way over 'overload' lol ... but it was happening and i had some ideas on what to do so i just kept at it till they were all done.. The entire midsection was done last and that was one of the first things i had planned and by then it was too late to cut back on the rest.. The ground area is pretty dicey in terms of perspective too..

    @Polligy : Thank you.. There is so much truth in those few lines it is quite unreal.. Im quite humbled you chose this thread to share that thought.. Hope to see you around the boards


    Im looking fwd to critique on these boards..
