Well lets just say I'm reading a christian " self help" book kinda thingy my mother bought me and this is what I am coming away from in the first pages I've read so...Yeah, I guess it's working since now I'm getting all artsy with it. xD

I don't know if this would be called a digi-paint or an LP (Large Piece) I made everything (except the fonts and brushes) but eh...Idk what you'd call this. xD
Just art I guess. LOL

The feathers in the BG are from ChrisF's feather brush.



I hope yous like it! :>

I do like it Moko. Wonder how the red circle texture would look with a metallic finish?

Very nice Moko and a great message too

im very much into symbolism and deeper meaning stuff in art, although i never made something like it with Gimp

besides the fact that you made a very professional looking piece of art
there is also a very clear display of symbols: feathers/wings, chains, a heart, light, gold

i give you 9/10 as this is very good, Moko

Forest before the trees.

Did not comment of the message which is also true. Folk, in general, are slaves to the material things all around us (whether be computers, smartphones, or pricey cars) and that's my take on the bondage that we have allowed ourselves to be in. Would say more but that would be breaking the rules here so I won't.

Nice work.

The texture on the heart? That's the mosaic texture!
I'm not sure what you mean by Metallic finish though?...I know what metallic is but not in this context. XD


I agree! And don't worry I think I get the drift.


I'm also in to much symbolism in art, I think art is so much more interesting if it makes you think deeper than just the "Beauty" of something. And here I thought I was weird with the symbolism thing. xD
Guess not!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it and thought it was professional looking!


Thank you!


Thank you too.

Lovely work Moko. There's a nice glow in this that makes the heart look like it's going to break the chains and vanish. It makes a lovely avatar too.

I like it too. Very well done, and the message is also true.

Nice work Moko, I too enjoy using symbolism in images. For the christian artwork I have done I have also searched colour meanings, I.E Purple for king.

Yay! Success.
I wanted to look like the chains will be broken soon so Yay me! rofl xD


Thank you! :>


Thank you!
I know some of the colors like purple and red...I don't know about blue though. xD

mokonafan: i'm glad the book seems to give you new inspiration! beautiful picture, true moko masterpiece. everything about it is so right: good message, nice use of symbolism, beautiful composition and colouring. i think maybe i'm a little easier to impress than esper, because i'd like to give this 10 out of 10 . like erisian (who has started to say one or two sensible things now and then since he took up tea drinking) said it made a great avatar too and i have to add that your signature is also lovely - i want one of those for myself !

Thank you!
I'm glad you like it, and yes he is getting better since tea drinking.


What, no please?

Here you go!


I gave you a prize too since you said you were jealous of GMS.

mokonafan: for me?!!! wooohoo! thank you, moko, i will start using it at once!

Yes for you!
You're Welcome.

Pay no attention to AnMal Moko. What do vikings know about refinement?
