An Uprising Speech....
Rise up my brothers and sisters, you sleeping children of revolution! The day of reckoning is upon us! The time has come to rid ourselves of the shackles of oppression, to close our ears to the lies of ruthless leaders, and to open our eyes to the sight before us.

Every minute of every hour brings us that much closer to oblivion. There are those among us who ask the question, "Will we go numbly and quietly into the night or will we dig our feet into the dead earth and fight the good fight?"

Are there those of you now, reading this, who have not yet perceived what I have perceived? Are you scratching your head? Rubbing your chin and hummin
"The Nightmare House"Every night, when I sleep,
I build a house of dreams.
And when dawn begins to creep,
Down it comes, to pieces.

Every now, then, and again,
I'll find a house I didn't build.
Resting in darkness, around a bend,
Up a steep hill, it sits waiting.

With its great black door,
That slams as I pass.
I'm certain I've visited before,
Now, I am very afraid.

I must go forward, and quickly.
This is no place to wander.
Everything waits to grip me,
To paralyze me with troubled visions.

To my right are windows,
And monsters whom I've met.
To my left a black widow,
And a mirror of regret and shame.

There are many doors here,

Finally, after a week of nothing, I'm back submitting stuff.

I wanted to make a second entry for =freaky665's "Dark Feelings Contest" and honestly this was not what I had in mind initially. Still, I wanted to do a somewhat different take on the theme than what I'd previously submitted.

I can't offer a neat explanation of it because I sort of didn't plan any of it, it just came together. I guess it's a reflection of my current state of mind: Fear of losing a loved one, fear of losing my future, fear that I'm losing myself, and who I am. It's the best I can do by way of explaining this.

Love it. I thought at first that you were using an image of a seashell, or something coral-like. Now, I can see what looks like a skull.

I'm wondering how much of the face was done with other images and how much was done by you with brushes/dodging/burning (whatever your technique might be). ?

Well, I don't remember the entire process step by step, but I can say that the face was the result of a lot of texture laying and layer effects, combined with use of the liquidify filter and copying and repasting parts of the "face". I only used a couple of brushes and that was pretty much after the fact: The face is all textures, no brushes.

Um, hope that helps a little. :lol:
