Story: The beauty of the dead bird's ascending soul is all that the immortal mechanical monkey sees. He is unable to comprehend death - innocently fascinated with what happens when you squish little fuzzy things.
Basically, I wanted to create an image that gave a little tug to one's emotions. A glimpse of the monkey's blissful and innocent disregard for life contrasted against the darkness of his actions and the apparent lack of a concious. He unable to comprehend death - seeing everything as an eternal infant.
I can't believe how few comments this beautiful picture has. Really, it's repulsive how much of the good quality art that's been worked on very hard is overlooked on this site.
You get a favorite from me and a comment.
I love robots, so I took an instant liking to this picture. The little bird's soul is really pretty, and it's sad that its tiny life had to be ended for no reason. At least the monkey is having a good time, I suppose.

You've definitely succeeded, too, in giving that 'little tug' you were aiming for.
