The Battle, completed

[korafox]

The Battle is the Ikon of direct conflict; its obstacles are not events, but people opposed in such a way that compromise is not immediately possible. Logically the Battle is often associated with wars and physical violence, but any situation where two or more people are working actively against each other can be represented. The Ikon always represents division, separating the combatants on different sides of an issue that must be fought for.


19/27! 

Sometime last year I decided to do this one because it was cathartic for my feelings about politics.  I don't think it's gotten any less relevant unfortunately.

I need to do something that has more organic elements next.  This one was all grim and needed very precise anatomy that I am still not sure about the results.  The problem is I left off all the Conjunctions for last and those have to have at least two people.  Which means more extra-fiddly composition.

Thank you, I appreciate that! You stare at these things so long that you lose perspective sometimes. (no pun intended)
