My first round entry for www.conceptart.org 's annual Last Man Standing. The official site can also be found at www.lastmanart.com

I'm hoping people can see past the apparent blood and gore to the deeper message I was hoping to convey, bu if you're just in it for the pretties, that's all good. I took some pictures of myself as reference, as I couldn't find exactly the feel I was going for otherwise.

Done in photoshop, around 20 hours, give or take.

Many thanks to the guys over at Pixelbrush.net too for their feedback during the painting of this, your advice was invaluable.
