Serenity and Madness

[to@ds]

Ok, first off, let me apologise for using the same stock image twice (the guy with the hands over his face) but I couldnt find another image that gave the idea that I wanted for the male face. Also, at the time of making this image I'd had a couple of beers and then put some Massive Attack (a laid back, dark band) and thought Id let the tunes guide me whilst I played on Photoshop and this is what I came up with.

Its very simple, so Im not going to say much about it like I did the last two images. All I will say that the three vibrant colours in the image are important, and if you know toads and the one thing that generaly links all my images, then you may also know what the red means, where as the green is meant to be as green always is (but not ada-wise) where as the faces are far more literal. The name Serenity and Madness has come from how both moments can come from the same thing and reveal both emotions to yeild differant effects, but that both emotions can teach us a single but valuable lesson.

Your conceptual art is something I am getting to look forward to every time you post something new, to@ds. Once again, you\'ve expressed the depth and complexity of human emotions and states of mind very clearly.

In truth, I think I like this piece more than the previous two you\'ve shared with us. /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Thanks Ada, althought I think I might try this one without the overlaying textures on their faces, losses to much detail from their face and dont really add to the image.
