Description
Representing being trapped in a bad relationship.Normally in a composition (whether painting, drawing or photograph), you NEVER take an object right up to the edge of the canvas or paper-you should either go beyond the edge or pull it back in a bit.
Here I intentionally painted our trapped soul right up against the sides of the canvas to enhance the trapped feel.

All these cold and little bit depressive colors really support that 'I'm trapped' -feeling. And that hole in the man's chest is well done, crackles nicely. I like this.

Nicely done, I feel this one as well in a visceral way, knowing the feeling without words.

this one reminds me of a flash video i did titled "unloved"
which i need to submit to DA eventually = /
it's about a figure very similar to yours but with much less detail, who gets dismissed by the boy who wants to play with him.... and the toy sort of kills himself because he feels completely unloved = /
this painting is so beautiful and brings back all those painful memories i endured during the making of that video = /

Looking forward to your flash video! I dabble in flash a bit, but mostly for interactive type stuff instead of animation. Thanks and take care.
