Well it's based on the metaphor of life timers, so there has to be very little
left in the top part because it's symbolic of this man being very close to
death. When the last grain of sand runs out he's out of time. I'm pretty sure
this concept of life-timers has some mythological routes, though personally I
took it from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels ;)
His cause of death is meant to be dehydration in the desert, not the fact that
he's inside an hourglass (because he isn't, it's just a metaphor).

That's a great concept Tek. Make sure you put that in the text file when
you submit. I'd hate to see people overlooking these details.

Thanks for pointing this out guys, I would never have realised that some people
wouldn't understand that part of the concept. I'll definitely put it in the text
file.

To me it is obvious but then I think an empting hourglass is iconic.
Maybe a tilt to the upper sand so that it matches the desert, and a
whirlpool as time runs out.
complement). What would an indigo background look like?
Great work.
important to at least say that there is a metaphor involved. If you look at
background.

Neat... sort of reminds me of that saying:

reminds me of Odo in Deep Space Nine,
still looks slightly plastic
What happened to left elbow joint ?
or is just a particular viewing angle that makes the arm look like a
smooth curve ?
