  • Title: War
  • Artist: Lord Tai
  • Description: I basically wanted to make an avatar based on war.
    I used some reds and oranges to show agression. The horseman, War, is also used to symbolize both agression, because of the colors, and war itself. I used an automaton arm to show the advancements in warfare and the soldat pants and buckled boots to show both the guise of civility, and the brutality that lies behind it.
    (Due to the word limit that has been set, I will continue the description in comments)

  • The axe was used to show, again, brutality. Scars were placed not only to look cool, but to help show that war is double sided, and affects both the waging country and those that it attacks.
    Ear rings were used to symbolize attempts to make war seem as though it were a good thing.
    The stone gauntlet, though it has no match on the avatar in colors, was used to show that war is as old as the Earth itself.
    Lastly, the red eyes and grin were used to symbolize evil and a type of mongering.
