This is a nice pic on a sad topic. It also applies on our war against nature...

Please keep this in mind, whatever would happen, there will always be people who care.
And we can only stop the violence with forgiveness, common sense, patience, courage and love.

This piece is very moving and sad... good message.

It is a very sad thing to go to war. To kill people who could other wise help build and create. For every discovery that we use for peace, there is another used for war. To truly understand it all you would need to understand the workings of the human mind. A lot of what is happening is people who are either causing their own problems and the want to get away from the problems they are in. It's the same everywhere, that's the root. Yes they sometimes find a cause to rally behind but the truth is they are sick and tired of the same thing year after year and think war is the only way they can be heard. The thought that nothing 'good' comes from war can be misconstrued though. It sounds cold, and it sounds mean... but we are going to be faced with the real possibility of either two options coming in the next 100~200 years (or maybe even sooner). That is the way we handle the energy supply. There's a lot of conflict but no country is really at risk of losing their driving force, their own way of life. What happens when your daily life becomes to expensive for you to support, even with a well paying job? We'll go back into a depression and we all know what happened during our last depression. The disadvantaged and taken advantaged Germans decided to turn their hopes on a man who promised change... and he ended up starting a second world war, something that was still fresh on everyone's mind from 'The Last Great War' just a short 20 years in between. History, ethics, open mindedness, compassion, equality. A lot of those words will describe what we need in the next 100 years. If we can't come together under a world wide cause to end these things, we'll likely be doomed to repeat history.

Thank you for that powerful image. I know my words will not reach many, and those who it reaches already know what we face in the coming years. We aren't blind... just refuse to look forward and prevent the coming darkness from spreading. I truly hope for a brighter tomorrow. I get the question of "why are you always so happy?" and the easiest answer I give back is "because there is no point in being sad." Despair, sorrow, and greed drive people to do desperate things, while hope, courage, and compassion drives them to do wondrous things. One person can do a lot to change the world... but can never do it alone. Let's all hope for a brighter tomorrow so we may not despair, use our courage to combat the greed within our hears and use our endless compassion to allow no person a moment of sorrow.

Reminds me of something else Michael helped to star: We are the World.

Was bringt Krieg, außer Verlust auf allen Seiten?
Leider gibt es aber einen sehr starken menschlichen Antrieb der immer zur Zerstörung und zum Krieg führt, ein gekränktes Selbstwertgefühl. Der eine zerbricht daran innerlich, der andere will allen anderen beweisen, dass er der Stärkste ist. Zwei der aktuell hier in Europa beachten und teilweise geführten Kriege haben ihre Ursache genau hier drin. Und beide haben eine Punkt erreicht wo es für alle beteiligten Seiten kaum noch einen Weg zurück gibt, ohne Gesichtsverlust. Somit werden wohl beide solange weiter gehen, bis eine Seite besiegt ist. Dann hängt alles vom Verhalten des Siegers ab, ob mit dem Sieg, wieder die Grundlage für einen neuen Krieg gelegt, oder der Teufelskreis durchbrochen wird.

Du hast das Thema sehr gut eingefangen.

Both beautiful and sad - well done :)

Though I like to imagine the tiger will wake up after a bit of a rest :P

Beautiful pic

Sad but important message

Really, really good art. Tells a story too, that's moving. Great work <3

Beautiful work.

Because humans are all about being better than other humans.

It's dumb.

I crired so much when I saw this picture and read the story. It's a shame that how we are destroying our own world and everything like (animals, gangles and oceans) who lives on it. We need to protect our world.

when we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves. we are so delusional when we imagine otherwise. even without bringing things we don't know into it.
they are used as an excuse, but i have never heard anything other then a human say they want to be.

the picture made me think of that song from hunger games. the one about how we'll be safe and sound in the morning while all the fanatics are burning everything at night.

never saw the movie so i don't know the context of the song other then what's in the song itself. really have no interest in doing so.

how we make our world, that's really everything. not our personal nest, but the world we make that everyone has to live in.

Simply Amazing.

It is exceptionally rare that I watch a "G" rated only artist, for the simple fact that missing body parts annoy me - especially really important ones.
But your art is so striking. So colorful, so emotional, and for the most part, beautifully anatomical. I can't help buy make an exception here, and +watch you.

Thank you)

Very powerful and moving image.

Wonderful and incredible work.

I hope that you have a great and blessed day/night!

THe evil human existence
