By Any Means Necessary
36x48, oils on board

This is easily one of my most popular images, people just seem to totally dig it. I get lots of comments on the weapons and the “Shiva” like arms, but I think one of the overlooked things is the fact that he’s basically in front of a target symbol, and probably the most telling of his “options” are the hands that stay in his pocket.
Daily Deviation, 2008-06-14

Daily DeviationBy Any Means Necessary by ~DamnedInk is a powerful political image dealing with potency and impotence in a technically skillful and symbol-heavy fashion. (Featured by ^stigmatattoo)

....Five fingers make a hand. With these five grab the enemy....
....The hand has five fingers, capable and powerful, with the ability to destroy as well as create....

Wow, that's great! The symbolism in the picture is fantastic, not to mention that your hand is just damn good for art.
