Description
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

This is OUTSTANDING!! You are such an amazing artist! You are so good at drawing and then you have such a creative imagination as well! I love this kind of stuff, what I wouldn't give to be able to draw like you xD Keep up the amazing work!

Wow. Just- wow. I was always think to myself; wow, if I had that person's talent. But then I find someone better. I have to say, your art is the best i've ever seen. Just... the undertones, the slightly disturbing nature, everything...
By the way, as soon as this picture loaded on my screen, 'Disturbia' by Rihanna came up and started playing on iTunes. How about creepy coincidences?

I have already finished FMA(another time),and I don't know why, but this remembers me all the times that Edward said "We gave everything what we had, and for what?"... realy good job

Speaking hands, wings, passion, frustration, and a barrier to be overcome... I love so much about this painting. It speaks to me, defining in simple imagery the entrapment that so often frames hard-won freedom. Thank you for sharing.

Ah, I love the wings! So awesome. I'd love to see something like this done in a novel. Great job. And keep the creepy stuff rolling!

wow......that's amazing.......I've always kinda realized a hand can resemble some feathers on a wing.....but never really saw someone draw it like this....
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow, that's certainly different. The expression of the concept is interesting, that never crossed my mind before. Obviously it takes sacrifice of others to rise...never quite pictured it this way, certainly unique.

I love that the shadow looks like normal feathered wings, and also that some of the hands are holding the arms that are reaching up. This piece is just brilliant and amazing

Hmm...interpreting isn't easy, but I'm trying^^
It seems like you have to build many contacts but don't care to much about their minds to get free in the end.
Hope it's not TOO wrong xD
But it's a great pic!

i'm so moved by this...to me its saying that that you have to step on people to get to the top...but that's just how i interpreted it. very beautiful!

Hands. Gods, I hate Hands. At least if I'm to draw them...
This is simply put, awesome.

*stares* Those are some seriously awesome hands. Hands are so hard to draw! And yours are so good! Both the hands you draw, and the ones you draw... with.... Yes, that was a confusing sentence. T^T
