Artist's Comments
Full title: "In Case of Emergency, Break Glass."
This is satirizing the "inconvenience" unborn life places on women in Western society, and the relative convenience our country has provided in disposing of that life. Painter X, Photoshop CS3 Older concept version here: [link] Newer concept version here: [link] Daily DeviationGiven 2009-08-13In Case of Emergency... by *Elandain - Though scary at some extent, the perspective the author has on the act of abortion is consistent, presenting it both as an act that must be executed with utmost responsibility, yet as a damaging act, no matter the circumstance of its manifestation. It's nice to see such a nice executed depiction of fragility - both of the mother and of the fetus - in such a decent, yet detailed manner. (Suggested by ~blackdoom and Featured by ^archanN) Comments It's definitely a touchy subject, but not one to be discussed here. I wouldn't want it to take away from the fact that your work here is amazing, no matter what the subject matter.
 so beautiful!! I keep picturing this as a life-size sculpture... you have an amazing gallery.
 Sad but true. Right on.
-- I see weirdoos....  A very cool concept
 I love the lighting on the face. The way its illuminated is cool -Laxon -- Another new Photoshop Tutorial by Stephen Hinds!  Great concept and execution. I really enjoy how you went about the lightning and colors in this one.
Thank you very much! The lighting was really tricky... I struggled for a while, but I think it turned out in the end.

Thanks very much.

Critiques
Technically speaking, this work is excellently done. The colors, blending, and the play of light and shadow work well together, giving off a feeling of both cold loneliness and the warmth of life.
The concept is also executed very well. Although it might not necessarily be an "emergency," breaking the glass here will have a definite effect on both the mother and child. This small, fragile life will be gone forever, and the mother will be left with the scar from having ended it herself, leaving a hollowness inside.
As a mother myself, I know the joy of having a little life kicking around inside my belly, and my greatest fear at the time was possibly losing her. This sort of thing is not something to be taken lightly. As shown here, this baby is extremely vulnerable, having no one to protect him or her but the very one who may end the child's life.
As I mentioned before, this is really an excellent work, quite provocative, and simply mesmerizing. Certainly deserved the DD!
