Title: The history of a suffering nation
Name: Leart Zogjani
Country: Albania
Software: BodyPaint, CINEMA 4D, Photoshop

This scene is a portrait of my national history: the skeleton tells that we have been living in these lands since the early stone age, it has wings (our flag has an eagle, and our motherland, in our language, is called The Land of Eagles), three weapons have broken the skeleton: the spear, the scimitar and the Battle Axe , weapons which represent the countries that have conquered us during history. These weapons are stabbed in the heart of the skeleton (the only organ that has survived from the time and wars), and that portraits that we still are living here. The flag is torn from all of these wars, but it's still hanged on the shoulder, which portraits our pride for our land and history, and at the end, a light is shining in the head of the skeleton, which tells that finally, after all of these wars, we won our independence, even because as two different states.
Any comment and critique will be very wellcomed.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot for the comments guys!

shkumbinferizi: I agree about the flag. I'm thinking of printing this piece in a large size, and so I'll have to rerender it because of the low resolution and in case that happenes, I might fix the flag too.

Thanks again!

Very nice piece, great idea too. Its nice to occasionally see work where people have actually put some thought into. I too agree about the flag but also, i think the wings could be a bit more dirty. Comparing it to the rest of the skeleton, the wings are almost bleached looking. Nice job though!!
