IF YOU DOWNLOAD PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT AND FAV!!

Hey guys,
Well since last week I was a day late I figured I'd try and make it up to you guys by being a day early this time!
So, here is the background on this piece, yesterday we went to see the movie Priest, I didn't care for the story line that much but the cinematography and the art where quite amazing, so inspired by the very grungy film I just couldn't help myself and do something similar.

The text was made in Illustrator and individually brought into Photoshop so that I could apply filters to it, the line running across is a variety of brushes and layer masks, the same goes for the background overall.

Well I hope you like this weeks desktop, I enjoyed this project very much and I'm quite pleased with the result, hope you feel the same.

As always your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
See ya next week!

Im trying to wrap my head around this one. And what's hard for me on this one is what theme it is;
The typography tells me that it's a knight theme, the sword through the text supports that.

The Clouds are neutral to me. The shine in the upper left gives me the feeling of some sort of "rising" or "a new dawn" or something like that. Like the picture is supposed to tell me about something that is going to be. When I try to find meaning too it i start to think of some of the christian related art i've seen.

And the lightning in the clouds.. Lightning to me is power, electricity.
The power of the lightning in combination with the sword, and typography and its color gives me the impression of something hard and steele like. I sort of think of Excalibur and the guy who controlled it.

The Ravens (saw you used them on the previos deviatation ;)) they tell me of some sort of Evil to come. Maybe there already is some Evil present.

The image shines of Strength.

The texts that are background in the horizontal part of the image gives me the impression of some ancient texts. That with the upper-right shine, makes some biblical or atleast knightly come up in my mind. Can't really put my finger on it.

My point is, that I find it hard to categorize this image.

I get that it might have something to do with the text "Contaiminated mentality". But i dont quite get the message with the art around it.

Actually not untill i wrote the last sentence I read your comment about the art.
I really see the "christan" influensess. But some of the impressions I get, makes me think of more Knightly things.

Hope you can take something constructive from my impressions and thoughts.
