The other six have perished, I'm all that's left. The battle continues.
Seven great kings rode swiftly toward Thebes; one among them a cursed man. They approached it's great walls built so long ago by only the playing of Amphion's lyre. Seven great warriors protected the gates of Thebes against her attackers; their king a cursed man. The battle raged on throughout the night, both sides ravaged. Finally, the two cursed men, brothers, met in battle for all of Thebes. But neither would possess her, each striking the other with a fatal blow. Dante would later condemn them to live out eternity in his 8th circle of hell, reserved for the divisive. Yet, Thebes remained. What is Thebes? It is both reality and myth. It is power, it is control, it is what I was promised. It is everything inside of me that I wish to purge. It is my curse. So I will continue to fight where others have fallen, until she is no more. The battle continues...

PS - Before it is said, I know there are many problems if you look carefully (most of which I noticed after it went to the print).
The masking of the roots didn't cover all of it. If you look carefully the roots turn from orange to gray in some places.
The roots on the right side are cut off from the image I used... ugh. I could have and should have fixed that, but didn't really notice it in my hurry to meet deadlines.
Still though...it looks good.
Actually, I thought the gray on the roots looks kinda good.
I think you've got a really good eye, and Photoshop is bringing out your skills in a way that things like drawing or paining might not be able to do.
