Chained Dreams

I know you said you were playing with color, and I think you did a beautiful job with it here. The red around the eyes and along the edges of the fingers - as well as along the one knuckle - remind me so much of someone suffering from a malady. The thinner bits of chain look so much like worms, and the blue color, adding to the illusion of illness, also brings forth the imagery of a corpse. Combined with the eyes being absent of both pupil and iris, it certainly adds to the much darker aspects of the image.

The yellow tones to the skin definitely add to the feeling of decay. Intertwining the chains throughout, in both the skin and hair, help maintain the atmosphere you've established, as does the blackness within the mouth and the cracks extending outward from the corners of the mouth.

I absolutely love the veins sticking out, both along the neck, cheeks and forehead. The skull shape in the patter on the moth is a brilliant touch as well. Truly wonderful work - thanks so much for sharing it!
