Contest Entry for A Contest for YOUR Favorite Song!

This one is for the song, "The Theft" by Atreyu

Here's the lyrics.

He bends and he breaks
If he gives they will take away
His passion, his pain, his grace

He exhales,
A thousand black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away

[Chorus:]
Rip them out, take them,
Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed (see him numb, see him crushed)
Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
Leave them numb, leave them crushed (leave them numb, leave them crushed)

Took the fire inside
One too many times
He's burning over and out now,
He flails
Up against the raging tides,
No more fights
Everything you ever wanted to see,
See it in his eyes
One more time, one more time

Climb down to test the waters,
My hands feel like they're rusting away, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter
I'll stay here as long as you let me,
Decision's been made obvious so I will return
Where I started I'll stay here
When I'm finished I'll whither away

And here's a link to the song. [link]

Ok, I did this picture on the first begining verses.

"He bends and he breaks
If he gives they will take away
His passion, his pain, his grace

He exhales,
A thousand black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away"

Ok, I know the flowers aren't 'black' but, they would have been pretty boring if it was black.

And There's a fire in front of him, as well as in the Back Ground.
The butterflies burst out of them, like the lyrics say.

And the reason the flowers are coming out of his mouth, is because of the line "He Exhales a thousand black flowers" And making them come out of his mouth seems like the best way to show that part of the song.

This picture, in a way, represents the song very well, in my mind. And I am VERY VERY VERY VERY proud of this piece. I've NEVER worked so hard on a picture that it made my hand hurt and lock up. And the fact that I used Correl Painter, in which, I am an newb to it. I've only used it twice, this would be my second time. And if you look at my other contest entry for Rainbows, you'll see the difference, oh yeah.

But, anyway. I've worked on this for...3 hours (12AM-3AM July 13th, 09) at the most, non stop. With out a food or potty break. So, I'm going to leave you off there, so I can eat and go friggin pee!
