Description My submission for ~Yumii--Chan 's Freedom contest, im sorry its late xD

It represents the torment and suffering that those who pursue freedom endure. The man struggling against his bonds to break free, but having to endure immeasurable pain in the process, yet it is his nature to struggle blindly.

I'd write more, but im rather tried, pulled an all nighter to get it done xD

texture is [link]

Done on sai and photoshop, figure drawn by hand

I love the concept of this. It is a matter very close to my heart. This is rather well done and has an interesting art style. I would recommend that the large blood splatter on the legs either have the color altered slightly or changed to look like where the blood could be coming from.

Thank you It's been a while since I did this one, I remember getting into this sleep deprivated state where I was throwing shapes around playing with the composition. I think the blood splat may have been one of those shapes thrown in there, but I get what you're saying, thank you for the suggestion

This for some reason reminded me of Plato's theory on life and reality. Hmmm.

Thanks ^^ they took longer then they should have, cause I went back over them and scribbled n stuff to make them look rougher to have more emotion, plus had to make them straight so they looked strained xD
