We can either retreat to the garrisons of fear, or charge forward towards the hills of hope...




The Garrisons of Fear by *Chill-Darkhawk on deviantART

This is my first photoshop piece of the year, and it was a doozy. This is a highly compressed version, (the original is 8" x 10" and 150mb...) but I still think it presents the piece fairly well.

This particular piece was inspired form a line of a speech at the DNC, which I originally miscredited to Barack Obama, but it in fact turns out that that particular line was from the speech by Susan Eisenhower.

If you'd like to view the full version, head to chill-darkhawk.deviantart.com to view it on my deviantART site.

I included a slightly more detailed description for the process of the piece, but for now after having poured over this for a few weeks, I need to take some time to let the piece speak for itself before I start explaining it all over again.
