I dedicate this to my friends Lauren, Beth, and Krista, who have all had this horrible disease. I just hope they know theyre beautiful people.
also a big thanks to Bethany (not beth) for modeling for some of the photos.
This was my exam for my 2-D class, and just keep in mind that its was bad photo and looks better in life.

its not really noticeable but the green thing on the bottom left corner is a measuring tape. the photo doesnt really how the details.

i know the text in the middle (red) part is hard to read so this is what it says
" I'm in control,
total control,
you say to me,
that this is all wrong,
but it isnt to me,
i dont want to waste your time,
i just want you to know
you are gone darling,
i am under control
control
let me be me.

also, the tag on the skeletons wrist says "died a beauty queen" and it has glitter on it. i wanted to add a tiara to the composition but couldnt find one.
This looks great, everything together gives us each stage of anorexia and I think you did an excellent job of trying to portray what it feels like for an anorexic girl. It's almost like an anti anorexia poster without making the people that suffer from it guilty..Makes a change from all those pro-ana sites.
Oh and the lyrics are from Radiohead's 'How to disappear..'
Since bethany brought this up, my friend beth who had anorexia for 3 yearsbefore she finally went into a clinic, is not bethany. they are two seperate people.
bethany is beautiful too of course she better know that.
the outlay is very flewend and vivid (colors are perfect)
i do feel that the body to the left could have been a bit more anorectic and scary.. but ,aybe u meant for it to be in stages of anorexia from left to right?
very good piece. love how you melded the hands and skeletal pieces together. the words go perfectly with the style, i envy your design ability. everything in the image seems to be stretching for help. i esp love the yellow, cause it sems to be sickly with green under it, i think the red and blue are maybe a bit too strong and bold, but this could be the quality of the photo as you said.
This makes me cringe. Not because it's bad, because it sets in stone that I have a problem. I hate the word 'anorexia'. People look at a healthy girl, evena slithly thin girl, and go 'She is so anorexic.' It just fucking makes me mad. They don't realize anyone can have it and that just because someone's skinny doesn't mean they're anorexic. And they think telling them 'Just fucking eat something!' is going to cure it. Just fuck that. Whatever.
But I do like this. I really do. I'm sorry I used this as an opprotunity to rant. I just have big issues on the eating disorder front.

We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".
The butter legion- a socialist movement/mass colab project I started, to trigger artistic change and evolution in Da artists (mainly my watchers), to make them more active and dedicated on DA. Now 170 people strong and growing... A "dangerous cult"? a "new religion"? "artistic version of fight club" or "communist movement"? You decide!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant.
