Tag As FavoriteComment		Ares isn't really a bad guy. He wants to fall in love, but he gets caught up in the passion of the moment and ends up eating all of his lovers. Mostly he's just absent minded, that's all.

Wow He is so cool. Kinda creepy if accidently eats his lovers though... But I suppose everyone had their faults

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "You are wise. Thanks for the kind insights! I hope it wasn’t to creepy."

Reminds me of that bug, the mantis. The female eats the male while they’re mating, and even if she bit his head of his nerve system is built so that he finishes the mating before he dies. God thats creepy. Enough bug talk. I’ve added you as a favourite, your works are so unique2

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "I painted this years ago when I was in a "dark period"(drama) Thanks for visiting."

Brilliant. It’s so passionate; the pink face for tender feelings sought, mixed with the smear of red for the blood shed and the leaves and these bewtifewl horns... omg... Amazingly done Joel, as always 1 Cheers!

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "Hey Thanks! Very poetic of you Miss Deros. I should include your interpretation in the story line. Rather brilliant I must say.
Peace."

OOOo ...ooooooo ...ooooo ...so neat!!!

I get a really strange feeling of this picture, like I want to say: " You can fall in love with me, I’ll keep you save." But on the other hand I don’t really want to be eaten...
He gives me a desolate feeling. But still, he has an irrisitable attraction on me.

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "This is really a strange piece even by my standards, it often will illicit conflicting responses. Thanks for stopping by!"

So beautiful and haunting...it somehow reminds me of Marilyn Manson! Anyway, such a forlorn and statuesque man/creature.
