What it Takes to Flyby `yuumei

Digital Art / Drawings / Macabre & Horror

Had this idea in my head for a long time (like years...) but never got the chance to draw it

Hehe I love creepy stuff. Er, a few people said the title and image reminds them of something like "it takes the helping hands of friends to fly" but I was going for "it takes a lot of sacrifice to rise above others." But you can interpret it however way you want

People have been saying this reminds them of Nico Robin from One Piece who also had wings of hands. I never watch that show so I had no idea.

If I know how to count, there should be a total of 21 hands in the drawing XD

First thing in mind when I saw this... "GREED" For someone who wants to aim higher, he/she won't budge to pull others down in order to put themselves atop. But then, later on it would only pull them back down by their conscience of how they have become for aiming that high.

"No one could fly freely without any trials and consequences in life... in order to be on the top, you must always consider to stay put on the ground. Yes, you can instantly be at the top if you fly, but you'll only find yourself alone after all. It will be a lot of work and time to be put on before you'll reach it if you want to stay grounded, but it'll be much rewarding when you look back at the path where you have built a stairway, wherein you're not alone reaching that goal. Rather, you're also leading others and helping them to be able to reach it too."

GREAT PIECE!!! YOU'RE TRULY AWESOME YUUMEI!!!

I thought this had to do with friends helping to fly, too,...until I saw her clutching her head in mild dysfunction. : )

This is amazing - and the arms/hands in the wing is well done

So AMAZING

Oh that's cool! I wanted to draw something exactly like this, but then at that time I couldn't draw hands that well, but that was a long time ago. And I think I lost that motivation & inspiration for it.

this picture just inspired this little poem. really bad but came up with it on a whim

So many so many
hurt and tears
All by me
but not belonging to me
this torture and pain
on others I have brought
I wish I could help them
how can I not
they beg and cry and try to escape
the prison of my soul
this deadened black heart
foolish ones there is no escape
Not when I killed you
Out of anger and hate

OMG this may be unintentional but its exactly like Robin from One Piece

~Cosmic-Angel-Raine Jan 26, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I counted 22 hands: 21 in the wings, as well as the person's hand. (of course, that's just the visible hand!)
