Description

A reminder of death.

-----------------
I took....a long time to finish this painting. I am not a detailed painter, and thus when I was first drawing this I knew painting this would be a challenge...a big challenge. It was.

A few weeks later, here it is.

The imagery for this artwork came from this song --> www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ2nHU... Seriously, listen to it. It is a brilliant song. Dark, sensual and emotional.

I'm planning something similar to this with Sasuke next :3

Your effort and time really paid off This painting is just amazing I can't stop admiring all the different colours merging to give out the right harmonic combination. Love
 
I agree with zhusanna, the symbolism you've portrayed is beautiful! It's with his death that we come to know the delicate depth of Itachi's character. The drawing reminds me of the struggles he went through during his life, the decisions he's made, the things he planned out. He lived following his ideals and his effort to protect them exceeds the ultimate boundary between life and death. All men must inevitably meet their end but Itachi died having done everything to ensure the fruits of his actions would survive. 
I love it, as always, really look forward to what you do with Sasuke <3
