THE HORNED GOD
The horned God is the eternal hunter, and also the animal which is hunted. He is the Beast who is sacrificed so that human life may go on , as will as the sacrificer, the one who sheds blood. He is also seen as the sun, eternally hunting the moon across the sky. the waxing and waning of the sun throughout the seasons manifest the cycle of birth and death, creation and dissolution, separation and return.
I built the background in photo shop, the tornado was drawn with brushes/blended and blurred
The clouds were pieced together from photos and masked and blended/blurred
Trees were my photos/separated and moved about
Antlers were a separate photo from the head
