Great Image and Work....As your neighbor here in the US I understand the problem with small minds and Big guns.

Fantastic Pat!! It's so sad that people have to resort to using violence to solve problems that could probably be solved otherwise. Beautiful image hun!! huge hugglz :)

Very sad, but a wonderful image!!

Very nice image, love her tummy. I read the story about the shooting today, sad news.

Sad news in Toronto :( Sorry to hear about all the gun violence. We get a lot of it here in Detroit too. Lovely image though. I like that skin texture.

Cool image and i really like the outfit.And on the gun violence...we get a lot of that here in toledo.When will it all stop.I lost two relatives to gun violence so i know how you feel about it all.Great image and thank you for bringing awareness to this issue.

I feel your pain and wish I could help the world I dont even look at tv because of the crazy stuff thats going on I get my news now from happy news.com take care there are still some good folks around

It's a very beautiful picture and i like those tattoos! About the guns? This only shows that "civilization" is just a word - in the middle ages we had people running around with big club and axes killing innocent peoples, now we have people running around with big guns killing innocent people - not so much change, don't you think? So sad... A solution? Maybe nuking the planet? Whoops! Don't pass this to the government!! They could take it seriously! ;)

Whoa this is VERY cool, I adore the tattoos, they really give this image a special "something." (hugs) I totally agree with the violence getting to be too much, it's been the same here in Boston, about 73 murders this year. :(

I love the combination of glamour and steel! Excellent work! I wish there was a way to solve all the violence in the world today. It's on every street and no one is safe these days.

Beautiful! :o)

You know what hon....? Everybody has a gun IN their head...lol... when it's not ON their head...lol...!!!Fantastic sci-fi work of art Pat!!!!!

Guns..no one should have them! Excellent image!! great idea and lighting. Bravo!! V tonz of hugz

What a beauty!! Stunning body art and she looks tough yet lovely! Wonderful work Pat. Brava for you!

Sad to say, but it's like that everywhere and it just seems to keep getting worse! I live about 35 miles outside of L.A., and you hear that everyday on the news! Oh what ever happened to the good o'le days? Awesome pic by the way! Take care and be safe!...Dave.

I love your image... I like guns in images... I hate guns in reality... one solution may be to introduce zero tolerance... if you kill, you will be killed... or maybe just good old public stonings... I wish there was a solution that all human beings would accept... without all the "rights of the individual" crap! Love ya image! (V)

Excellent scene and I dont know the answer to the question it seems to be guns are what everyone reachs for first before any questions are ever asked! Dayna xxoo

Thats so sad. In Australia we have some pretty tough gun laws after some bozo went balistic killing a stack of people. Not everyone agrees with them But I recon the less guns out there the better. Excellent image too!

Excellent work very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice pic Pat! In Germany we have also very tough gun laws, this is still no solution but it helps very much!

Well Pat, in UK, police are not armed. That is, until there is an obvious need for a specially trained armed response team. It is the opinion of many policemen here, that if they carried arms, then the criminal fraternity would "tool up" themselves. Generally speaking, it would mean that any criminal act would be accompanied by firearms, carried by both police and criminal and although firearms are readily available in the underworld, most crimes are commited, without firearms in the equation. There does however seem to be a disturbing increase in crimes with weapons in London and there have already been some very sad needless killings of police officers. I suspect that whilst we have the law banning firearms, with immediate imprisonment, for anyone found in possesion of a lethal weapon, the presence of guns can be contained. I think England is a safer place, because of the strict anti gun laws and by removing the availability of guns in general, needless deaths and injuries, have been dramatically reduced. Sadly though, we also get shocking news on occasion, of an innocent bystander, being maimed, or even worse, killed during hostile fire. It is a sad indictment that there are such people, no matter where, who think nothing of pulling a trigger, with the full intention of causing death and serious injuries, by their actions. Gorgeous work Pat. Beautifully finished my friend. Steve :o)

Here in America we have the right to keep and bear arms or so it seems to those outside. In practical reality if you walk down the street with an unloaded weapon and the clips in your pocket to question a doorway where a person, who had just arrived from where you came from, was shot to death, the police would be called and they would disarm you even threatening you with violence if you had been observed by them directly. That is the reality check in a cold threat environment. In a hot threat environment--well, they would not show up until the weapon was fully discharged and secured--then they would charge you with a crime and demand forfeiture of the weapon. I have no further use for this approach.

Impressive character and spectacular tatoos....!!! Excellent scene Patricia....!!!!

Amazing body paint and lighting and I love her futuristic gear. Super urban looking background it all goes together to perfection well done V Cathy xoxoxo

Unbelievable this violence but marvellous is your work! Excellent shadow setting and atmosphere! Bravo!!! V

Amazing scene and so well spoken sweetie!! The character, lightning and composition is just excellent!!! V and BIG hugs from C

Yes, I totally agree with what you're saying about the violence...so senseless. Your image is really superb. I love her skin texture and the wonderful outfit. Terrific lighting, too. Excellent!! Best wishes for the new year, Pat!!

Nice Image! I think there are two things you can do against gun violence or violence in general: 1st: ban all guns and the production of weapons. Thats not very likely to happen. 2nd: Create an environment and social philosophy where the use of guns and violence (physical or structural) are not necessary and a tabu. That would mean to reduce the main causes for violence: frustration, fear and greed. You can do that at the level of society by changing policies and you can start with yourself controlling your passions, desires and expectations.

Interesting character and outfit. It's a sad commentary though of the times we live in. It seems that gun violence is a major issue in every city in America too :(

Don't know the answer, great image though. ^_^
