Beaten Down by HunterBahamut

Beaten Down

HunterBahamut

Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill,
If I lose my footing this rock will kill.
Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit,
So I can't see the top or know how far is it.

Now life is a constant and death is a beast,
And every time it's been fed its presence increased.
I feel its wings and its eyes bore my neck,
And this pressure has turned me into a wreck.

It's a cold and a hollow and a lonely life,
I've seen anguish and anger, fear and strife.
Now, the darkness comes and it takes my pride,
But I've learned to face the darkness in my stride

I felt its teeth pierce through my neck and back,
I felt my skin rip and I heard my bones crack,
And if I have strength left we'll soon see,
For the shadow of life has eaten me.

Well, my comfort and security leave stride by stride,
If I could see some way out I'd throw away my pride,
But I can't go back and my death lies ahead,
But the end of this life fills me with dread.

Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill,
If I lose my footing this rock will kill.
Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit,
So I can't see the top or know how far is it.

~Shadow of Life by Abney Park.

This started off as some random doodle inspired by the above song and I decided to try and finish it up like a mock screencap.

This one could have been a lot better, I was trying to play around with some different detailing stuff and shading, but it really didn't turn out as well as it could have.
Ah well, that's what happens with experimentation.
