Artist's Comments

Ahhhh, how I miss photomanip. Havent done any in a while.

This is really free for interpretation, but I'd like to focus on how the pretty flower's corroding. It reminds me of how we're slowly killing Earth with all our pollution, but we're too caught up and 'frozen' in our selfishness to give a damn.
-- But that's my own view on it. :] What do YOU see?

Textures from Cgtextures. :]

EDIT: Added a little more 'dirt' on the flower, but I decided to keep the redness because I like how it stands out. :]

i don't get the corrosion without you telling me. it's really obvious once it's pointed out but the color cues don't really give it to me, i'm not drawn to it negatively. i think it's the lively pink color in contrast to the cold blues. it counters the message.

but that's the only crit i have. the manip is really cool for how minimal it is. but if you fixed the colors in it, i'd also rot the flower a little color-wise to bring out the textures/message.

Don't expect the best, you won't be disappointed when you take a bite and watch the worm crawl back inside.

i like how it turns gray a lot, but the pink is too bright for it to already be rotting IMO.

and no problem! i really do love the idea.

Ooh, awesome. Better than most of the photomanips I see around here XD I don't really "see" anything though.. I'm not a very deep thinker :B

Ah, yeah. :] Thank you!
I edited a little, but I'd like to keep a bit of the pink-- like it's in the process of rotting.

I'm glad you like the idea, though. *v*
