Shattered!!

I really, really, really enjoyed doing this piece!

The piece is a skull going through different planes while the mind is shattered in a million pieces. I just went through penciling it easily, but inking it was something else. I didn't think I would get it done in a day, but it wound up working out.

I'm a big fan of both traditional inking and Pushead, and I debated doing a bit more texture work on it. At the same time, it feels right keeping it this simple. The only regret I have is that I used a broken glass photo from the net for the background. Next time I'd rather break my own glass or, even better, ink it like that!

Also, this piece was really inspired by the song "Shattered" by Pantera! When I first got "Cowboys from Hell", this was an instant favorite.
