The Riven

we are the children...
we are the lost.
souls baptized in darkness...
spawn of a mad god.

from darkness we have come,
into darkness we shall pass...

when the last day comes
we shall not burn alone.
for we are all his children,
his beautiful, scarred children...



An updated version of a pic I posted here last year. It's based loosely on the tattoo on my gf's inner left bicep. I really didn't get the effect that I was looking for with this... serves me right for rushing it. The figure is supposed to have wings as well but I didn't like how they came out so I just inked over them.

As far as attaching any symbolism to this image goes I'll let you come to your own conclusions. Some may call it irreverant or sacilegious... or maybe it just represents my gf having a bad hair day...
