The second, and more complex, version of this piece inspired by Jim Morrison's "Newborn Awakening"
This piece was mainly about symbolic iconography to illustrate Morrisons lyrics. I worked on this piece with the song on repeat to get everything out of it i could, their are many "hidden" meanings in the piece wich i wont indulge upon you for i feel that it is more powerfull for a person to discover these things for ones self, the lyrics however will guide you.
I used 2 photographs for this piece, both were in full color and very differnt from how they apear here, the egg for example was a real agg and looked nothing like a cartoon, i found by leaving it as stylized as possible i could emphasize it the most. i was also hoping that by leaving everyhting stylized, and by not making the blood for example look real, people would have an easyer time understanding the concept of this piece.
The first attempt at this concept can be seen in my scrap.
I love the background in general. Having it all monotone in one colour and faded in parts gives is a great look. I like how there is whitish strip down the centre to draw the eye to the egg. I don’t understand what the diagonal lines are for, doesn’t seem to fit with the theme of the back ground.
I don’t know if I like the egg, (well I like the egg, just not how it looks) I don’t know if you drew it, or if it was a pre-made image, all I can say is, its hard looking, almost cartoon felling. The rest of you piece has the soft faded look and the egg looks odd. Also the blood is a bit off. From what I can tell you want it to look like there is blood on the edges, but that means there should have been blood on the inside as well. Also, there would be a small pool of blood inside the egg at the bottom, because gravity would have pulled the blood down off the sides. There would also be some on the ground with the small pieces.
The poem it self is great, gets in with your emotions and also fits well with the moon the rest of the piece makes. My only problem was trying to read it. I think you could find a better cursive font that would be easier to read.

I like this. The general color scheme is nice, it has alot going on, but it doesn't seem busy. I hope that makes sense. This is a great piece.

DeviantART has partnered with FAIR to help promote equality through The Love Unites Shepard Fairey Equality Project. We're asking deviants to align themselves with this cause and have their work judged by Shepard Fairey himself!
For those who have many watchers, and for those who dont have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
