Domestic Violence - Abuseby ~DarkWolf80s

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Emotional

WOOHOO!! I Finally Finished it!! I thought it was going to be crap but I was really impressed with the end results. Cause honestly the picture that was taken by original photographer

was quite a challenge for me due that the photo from the beginning was taken in black and white. So I had to think of a way to color a B/W photo and I’ve never done this before so this is my first time and it blew me away. I probably spent a good 1 and half day on this piece for 1 reason. LAYOUT and TYPOGRAPHY. Yes Those two categories will haunt me no matter what project I do. I had to sit down sketch things out and then build on a concept.

How did it start?

After browsing through DA news site, I noticed that

was holding a pretty neat public awareness campaign on “Domestic Violence”. After reading through her awareness campaign, felt that she was right regarding that this issue is rarely brought up unlike the many other awareness campaigns that are out there; this was the least one that’s discussed.

Idea and Innovation:

Since this was the least topic discussed, I did some search on the net and noticed that a lot of the stories I read on Domestic Violence felt like a trend. Then the idea hit me. Since it’s a “Trend” but people don’t talk about lets bring it out in a shocking manner like your Teen Mag or Vogue Mag. LOL!! I mean come on! It’s a great idea! The target age groups that I’ll be hitting are around the age group of 16 and above. What a better way than to do a simple magazine ad that everybody picks them. That's because they are easy to find and they can be located in coffee shops, lounge areas, universities or your typical grocery mart.

Hope you all enjoy this piece.

Kudos to

for her amazing shot (Original Photo [link]) (I sure wished it was only a higher res image) Btw, she has great pictures in her gallery. Check her out you might find something quite interesting.

Update #1

- I'm going to enter this art piece for a "Worthy Causes Contest" that I learned about from

while browsing through DA. I'm thinking of creating another art piece that's different than this method but at the moment my time is really limited to things I wanted to do. Plus I get lazy sometimes and I'm trying really hard to destroy that habit

I would like to thank both ^Kaz-D and `PurpelBlur for suggesting and for featuring my art piece.

Wow that's amazing. I'm making a movie musical about domestic violence and I need the art community's help to showcase what it is. I believe music can connect feelings and emotions of many people. It's a sad movie, its an it is what it is movie but it's a truthful movie. [link]

Thank you for the lovely comment! I appreciate your motives to making a stand against domestic abuse. Keep up the good work, never give up and I wish you all the best with your indie movie.

Wow, I'd never guess that was origionally black and white, but then again, I'm no expert/critic/photographer.
Very nicely done.

~DarkWolf80s Mar 7, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

HAHA!! Thanks!! Yea, the original picture is in black n white. I tried clicking back to see where the original owner placed the photo because she has some amazing stocks. Sadly, after 4 years and only recently like a week ago I tried to look back to find the original photo but I can't seem to find it anymore including the owner. I'm guessing she left DA. :<

Thank you once again. If you like this, you'll love the other stuff I have in store. Have look see at my gallery. Cheers!!

This needs to go on a billboard.

~Madaddie Dec 26, 2012

I agree.

~DarkWolf80s Nov 10, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yes, it truly does! Thank you for the kind comment.

~Maurikiano Nov 11, 2012

Just being honest, hun.

~Colbatros Mar 27, 2012 Student Writer

Meh, it'd be a lot better in my opinion if it didn't only focus on adult women.

~SYMMETRYYRTEMMYS Mar 18, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

This was an amazing idea.
