Newest finished project! I combined two DMC templates this time, while using elements from both to connect the parts. Also, the flower burst is elongated a bit to go along the seam vertically a bit more instead of being completely round. All in all, I'm very happy with how it turned out.

i must not take it personal. taking it personal is the mind killer. taking it personal is the little death that brings total oblivion. i will face taking it personal. i will permit it to pass over and through me. and when it has gone past i will turn the inner eye to see its path. when the taking it personal has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain

Ok, loves, so we've all got the message that joking about suicide is bad for your mental health. Now we need to get on "joking that the planet/all of humanity has no future is bad for societal health/encouraging resistance to bad shit."
