Life, death and rebirth in symbols, can you spot them all? I have corrected a few mistakes on this picture and replaced it his neck was far too thin and I hadn't drawn the jaw in very well where it met the neck and ear.

I love the symbolism. You've done an excellent job hiding things in this picture. You can find all manner of symbols depending on how closely you look. You've done an excellent job creating this piece, the proportions look accurate, and the lighting as well. I love it. I'll agree that the feet look nice. I always have trouble with front-view feet, but I am working at it. I love the tattered clothes. His expressions looks to sad. He looks to be is on the verge of tears. Poor thing. Thank you for stopping by my gallery!

oooh! A dark picture.
I'm not really a dark person, but most of what I write is dark. This is an amazing picture, as everyone has said.
I love the door, and crossing from the light, warmth, into the dark.
Is that an egg he's clutching? As in rebirth, etc.,
The symbolism is amazing, I love when artists put serious thought into their pictures, and from what I've seen so far, you always strive to do that.
My favourite part has to be the little phoenix above the door.

:-) Steph Steph Salt replies: "Yes I do a lot of thinking about my pictures, it's wonder I don't get run over, because I'm thinking of them almost every where LOL!Thank you Kylia. 2"

The more i stare at his face the more freakily scary and alive it becomes..and his gaping mouth...*shudder*. Seriously this is one of a few pics that got me scared.Love your colours and the neatness of the pic. The warm light is very inviting. What did you use to get such a nice texture?(apart from talent)?

:-) Steph Steph Salt replies: "I used Photoshop Hadassa, and a lot of fiddly work. Thank you. "
