KALI

Pipe Hitters Union is known for their line of military-centric apparel. Most of the customers are male but we've since had numerous inquiries for a women's line of shirts. Last summer I woke up very early in the morning with this image in mind. It sat in the hard drive for several months while I kept busy finishing another project.



Got a chance to return to it this week and finished it on the Cintiq and CS. Using one solid brush at 9 pixels.

BITTER HEART

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter -- bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
Stephen Crane, The Black Riders
