Tempo Surreal

Comments
Tempo - In musical terminology, tempo (Italian for "time", from Latin Tempus) is the speed or pace of a given piece. It is an extremely crucial element of sound, as it can affect the mood and difficulty of a piece.

I guess this is surreal -shrug-. More of a experiment than anything else. I made this for the "Tempo" contest by =grace-note
In my recent manips I try my best not to make it look like a "manip". I'm not too fond of the cut-and-paste look. I tend to do allot of blending using various techniques which usually end up making it look like a painting to a certain degree. Anyways I hope you like!

PS. Don't worry I make tough stuff too like daggers and skulls... cept I end up putting a damn butterfly next to it...
