You're Doing it to Yourself!

Sorry if this is a bit disturbing, but I felt it was an important topic and had to be shown in all its 'goriness' (is that a word?) Especially nowadays there are so many people self-harming, many of them young women, and it often is the only way to express those feelings that cannot find another way to be expressed. 

PS. I didn't actually spill any blood for this image - it was a scratch from my cat's claws (he's VERY clumsy) and a texture I'd created.

Part of my new series of images for licensing on Arcangel-Images use this code: SYST-0077

Mystical

Just received the go ahead to post the image on my blog and portfolio sites, so here's a bigger version:

I loved the original stock images of the girl in the gold corset and wanted to create something magical with it. :-) It reminded me of all the female mystics of history - from the Oracle of Delphi to Cassandra, Theresa of Avila, Hildegard of Bingen and so on.
