"Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily"
- Napoleon Bonaparte For slashTHREE Artpack 10 - World Exhibition II I had a lot of fun with this one. One morning I turned my room into a wimpy photostudio and messed with some of our sheets. Funny. Again I got most of my inspiration from the amazing =kubicki. I hope you like it.  kudos to: `FantasyStock ~grace-stock [link] [link] [link] some textures from [link] © Erik Schumacher This is no stock image, so don't use, copy or manipulate the original artwork without my written permission.

 First! Ich finde das feuer unten herum macht das ganze bild noch dramtischer als wäre davor ein krieg gewessen! Sehr nice arbeite kire
 Und da machts einfach baaam.
 -- Hey, hangin' in there ?  Death is everything!
Death is what gives to life its precious and rare character, death is this moment which makes every human being as equal as the other one, without distinction of race or wealth... Death is this plague which makes hearts beat more hardly and more intensely! Indeed we can see this sword as that one of Damocles however we can see it as the one who separates and divides too! It is a very amazing work! I love it! Thanks for sharing!    -- Friendly yours, =PoetryPlease *Self-InjuryClub Fight AIDS! Protect your lives! Please be aware of it! Don't waist your precious life !! Thanks for all my dear dA friends ! Love you all !    Oooohh, that quote sent shiver's down my spine - it's telling me something
 Interesting manip, it almost looked like alandmass suspended at first, but up close the curtain-like effect is symbolic of deatb being the curtains closing on your life  that's how I saw it anyway  -- *priteeboy - proud founder of ~The Worst Artists on dA club! - take a look, have a laugh    Wow.. I have no words.. First the colors.. It is just striking how much impression can be given with two colors and shades.. and the objects.. the shape.. brilliant
-- Tread softly because you tread on my dreams  I don't get it, really. It looks really nice though ^^.
-- "Some people play tennis. I erode the human soul." - Tycho Brahe.  gefällt mir sehr hat was aufjedenfall
 -- la lala lala... Die Stimmen ficken meinen Kopf und deshalb singe ich! la lala lala...  mad dope, a true warrior speech tbh.
-- -Jtr  find ich cool

Did you know this curtain we can see in the background is made of soaked sheets ? It looks extraordinary, but is still attributable to simple stocks. Brilliant !
Lets look in the middle. This dark theme and the gloomy setting is a nice idea, but still I think the sword should be even more visible on top. The details would become consistent and withdrawn, so the feeling of this levitating sword will be enhanced.
If I look on the right or left side I have to admit, that it looks too dirty there. You achieve this messy/chaos composition with the clouds and fire in the middle background hence you do not need so many black 'dots'. Less is more I guess.
At last the obvious ground beneath has got a low quality, in other words it is too sharp specific around the end of the sword. It shall be a rather calm situation there, this would give a gracious contrast to the fire.
All things considered this is a black and white gem in the photomanipulation gallery for the very reason that we can see a potential movie poster here. And this for some very magnificent movie.
