Description Was listening to Skillet's awesome song "Awake and Alive" when I got the inspiration for this.
This part of the song inspired this particular pic (more will be coming based on other parts of the song):
"I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slipping from Your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last"

I do not own the lyrics, Skillet and their affiliates do.
AND I KNOW I STINK AT HANDS.

Ah, I love Skillet. Their songs are so deep and have such meaning to them.

This is a great picture for that song! Wonderfully done!

Nah, the hands are actually well made...
It does take a lot of practice...
But believe me, I've seen some that are worse...
Mines, for example...
ha ha ha...
anyway...
cool picture!

I think the hands look great. The drawing is a great depiction of the lyrics, and stands on its own as showing something we all face every day.

I like the surreal feel of it, with all the hands trying to grasp him. You did well on those, too, by the way.

You, stink at hands? I don't think so - it looks great! I can see some of the hands are maybe a bit off (not nearly as off as they'd be if I tried to draw them) but most of them are proportionally quite good!!

I don't know the song, or Skillet, but I think with this picture you illustrated the words really well. (Those reaching arms are pretty freaky...)

Thanks! I wanted to really illustrate how the world reaches, grasps and tries to pull a person into itself.

Great song though. If you have not seen them live you need to.

I know I need to! D: Yesterday at WalMart I saw a guy in a T-shirt that he had got at one of their concerts! Felt sooooo jealous
