Description

"Look at me. Look at me. Let all the cares and sorrows of this world fall away from you..."
Lovely quote taken from the movie I Am Dina. One hell of a movie... I thought it would be appropriately fitting to my picture, but I will let you decide that. I've always been fascinated over the corpses of rotting animals, it almost seems as if more life exists on a dead piece of road kill (ran over a few times, of course) then the road kill's previous stupid "lets go wander into the road" state. Though I must admit, an animal that daring must be full of life ooor its just suicidal. Anyways back on to the picture.

This is my contest entry for :icondigital-art-club:'s Atropa Belladonna contest. :)
More info about the contest (Ending on 12/14/12 or 14/12/12) [link]
Poor dying deer/unknown animal *cough* I'm sure if you eat the yummy flower all of your pain will float away.
Eat it. Your chances of living through this are low . I mean look at yourself! Your already letting some naked lady root fungi into you and spore. That dose not sound sexy. Maybe the naked lady part, but not much how her fungi is sporing all over you..
Those little flowers you see in the foreground are from my childhood memories (so they are not drawn to the exact anatomy of the actual flower, only how I remembered them) They are called Bloodroot, and I recall often I would sit in the dirt and play with the red-orange sap, though it is known to be corrosive to skin. :) I was a naughty child and thought it was funny to smear it on people. Please, to make myself clear, the flowers you see are an abstract version of the flower Bloodroot, and dose not resemble it fully.

Program used- GIMP
Approx Time- 6-7 hours (took my time on it :)
I would love to answer any questions, conversation is fun.

This is really beautiful. I don't quite get it, but I feel there is a complex story behind it. It really shows that you thought about this a lot.
this is amazing.
