A battle. Both seek control. Both want life. But It seems one side might be stronger...and is currently gaining...
A symbolic interpretation of Kabuto struggling against Orochimaru's life force, and trying to control his power. I could have represented Orochimaru as a snake, but I felt a need for hair, arms and ears (seeing Orochimaru has all these things) The beast is still serpentine, but he is something more then a snake. The collar represents a way of control, a possible path of mastery, but Kabuto has yet to reach it. Notice how the Kabuto's damage coincides with the Orochimaru-infected parts as picture in the manga. I tried very hard on this picture, and am so very happy with it Please enjoy.

Agreed, and faved. I love the level of detail you put into this picture, the shaded tendons of Oro-dragon's claws, the three-tone highlights in his matted hair ... the ragged ear complete with his characteristic earring. It's perfect. Even the slightly flattened look of his lower body emphasizes that Oro's coming to life as he rears against Kabuto. This picture has so much motion! The blood dripping from Kabuto's face and arm is gleaming all the way down. Everything about this, from his straining muscles to his snapped glasses, illustrates a desperate fight for survival. Orochimaru looks so focused in this picture. It's come down to an either/or for him and he knows who's coming out alive. Kabuto looks more conflicted. Like he knows what he has to do, and he's trying as hard as he can, but that doesn't make it any easier. As I said before, this is a fantastic picture. I hope I've touched on at least some of the things that make it so great.
Lovely...yet so bloody. Before I read the artist comments, I noticed most of the blood is on the areas where Kabu had the transformation.

There you go with the symbolism again. I'm so glad to see you're taking a stab (no pun intended) in that particular field again. A little part of me gets all giddy and excited each time you do that, and this one...*smirks*
Congratulations; this one is going in my favorites.
