Description
This is for `kuschelirmel "Song Challenge: October" (see here for more informations).
It takes me a lot of time to complete it for different reasons: I had some problems in this period, then I had difficulties founding the right stocks and then, overall, finding the right solutions to blend the pieces toghether. And I'm not sure I succeded... it's just my third manip (oh, well, second-and-a-half, because the first one was never completed XD).
So, now, about the concept: according to my own interpretation, the lyrics talk about a power wich have crashed on itself. Expecially the verse wich says "Once you know there was never, never an honest word" makes me wonder about the causes of the crisis, and I thought that very often the causes of the crash of a reign (or of a government or a power in general) are well recognizable since its birth, if you pay attention to it. A reing falls when its bases are not solid enough, when it lays on a precarious equilibrium (from this the title of the piece). So I tried to imagine how could I visually represent a bad equilibrium, and I had the idea of the sphere. I also thought that in these cases the ones who live in the reign, and of course the one wich rules on it, are not able to see it, and always think that everything is good and bright... so I tried (not so successfully) to make the castle to stand out. For the same reason I obscured the base. The crakcs on it are to enhance the sense of instability.

Wow 
The first time I looked at this, the idea of it made me dizzy. You definitely thought about this concept for a while and the outcome is amazing. I love the way you have the castle appear as if it's straight up and down even though the rock it's on isn't.
The colourful (well, somewhat) grunge border adds a nice finishing touch to it
