Splitting, by IrukaTheSlayer - really makes you think.  The artist’s comments read “Separation of soul and body,” and that can definitely be seen in the picture.  What really drew me in were the questions I found myself asking following this:

“How?”

“Why?”

I’m sure there’s all kinds of potential answers that exist (and plenty more questions you can think of).  The painting really breaks through the clichés one might find when seeking out the connections (or in this case, disbandment) between soul and body.  It’s an intimidating piece and the tone, colors, and figures just help to prove that.

Check out the work on its respected page, and be sure to check out some of her other art as well:

And if you miss it you might have to rework your schedule.
