Description But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me
Look over your hills and be still
The sky above us shoots to kill
Rain down, rain down on me

But I will hold on
I will hold on hope

I begged you to hear me, there's more than flesh and bones
Let the dead bury the dead, they will come out in droves
But take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you've made

But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds

Rain down, rain down on me

~Mumford and Sons, "Thistle and Weeds"

This is an image that I've had kicking around in my head for literally months, finally got around to finishing it. Galahad's still getting a good dose of symbolism and metaphors in his breakfast I see. :'D The Johto camp's resident chaplain is not doing so well lately and even though he tries his best to keep doing good work the troubles infecting his mind undoubtedly show to others.

I really, really love Cordyceps fungi. Like you don't even understand how deep my love for this genus runs. This is what they are for folks who don't know about their creepy awesome: [link]

This is so cool and interesting. I adore the colors/coloring and the shadowing and it's somehow creepy but fascinating.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thanks Pilvi! Yep I decided to play with that digital watercolor sort of coloring style for this piece~ It's a bit different from my usual but I think I like it.
