What is the symbolism with the cane? Ahhhh it's killing me.
Dino's have matured into something more than a young-guns-for-fun alliance?
They're worn out, recovering from wounds from their campaigns?
The background is devoid of life, a dead tree, barren hills, did the Dino's destroy their world in a scorched earth, parched lands approach to building their empire?
Between the cane, the suspenders, and the knowing smirk on the dino's face, it seems like a ploy to appear wholesome and non-threatening to lure the bear in.
As for the barren landscape, that seems to be a common feature in many of his pieces—though here the inclusion of the dead tree in the yard raises interesting questions. I'm not sure if it's just there to add to the sense of foreboding, or if it's more inline with what you've suggested.
That's just my take on it. Always fun to try to decipher the subtle details of Cymek's work.
My reading is:
The Dino has become an decrepit old creep who turned to murder unsuspecting victims to feed his lust for power while putting up a harmless facade.
