This is my entry for CGOverdrive2007's CG excellent Award.The theme is War and Peace.
In the image there is a warrier with double edge sward in his hand surrounded with souls of the deads slain by the sward.With the hopes of those thousands souls,they are fusing to rebear in a new form of a white bird of peace.he is gazing at the new born dead peace like it's his child.What kind of peace it would be...Whatever it is it's not living peace.Indeed he'd killed peace.
The guy has a strange armour.I used some symbols of beasts on his armour in order to represent chaotic war from the instinct of beast inside man.These war and peace are released from inside man.
