This illustration was born for the awesome competition called 'Last Standing Man 3', organized by Cody Tilson at ConceptArt.org. The theme of the first Round was <Underneath it All!>.

It leaves me with another illustration and the rewarding atmosphere of interacting with other artists. The concept art for my work was a strange balance between flesh and metal: everything in the upper part is made of flesh or ordinary matter, while the lower parts slide in a mechanical Universe...moons are gears, the bottom of the ocean ticks under the waves...butterflies blend with their metallic counterparts... and the woman? What about the poem of her life? Is she becoming a human being or the world is turning into a robot habitat?

I think there's no reply. I like to fancy about alternate realities...

Here's the Making-Of-'Underneath It All!':
