Description This piece is now the cover-art of Zippered Flesh 1, an anthology of body modifications gone bad. nebu.deviantart.com/art/Zipper…
It is available at Amazon.com

There are many legends involving the Cyclops, most notably Homers Odessey. But there is another that tells how the Cyclops were offered forsight in exchange for one of thier eyes. (they supposedly had 2 eyes in the beginning) The Cyclops agreed but found that they had been tricked, for the only foresight they gained was in seeing thier own deaths.
My attempt with this wp was to capture the moment of horror when the Cyclops saw his own death. Hope it worked. =]

you got a lotta sharpness in there (almost looks as if it were painted that way), but other than that it's awesome. Great job sis

At first view I was a little disturbed.
But now I just laugh because of his expression.



Excellently done, though.

hey hun

really like it. the texturing is awesome and the atmosphere is fitting very well. just one point to critize is the metal stitching in the left upper corner. for my opinion the cyclop is made out of stone so why the hell he need a stitch i think a hole or a crack would be fitting better. but nice work anyway.

I don't care about the technical stuff like how wel it was made or wotever. I just really love the idea, like him seeing his own death. The intro really helped me understand the work. very well done.

The beauty of seeing the emotion of true fear makes me feel tranquil.
--------------------------
As the sky will cry tears of blood
The earth shall come afire
Making the moon fall upon us
While I laugh and smile
No matter the amount of strife
For I have no emotions
I am God
