Description Inspired by the song of the same name by CellDweller, and also by a Lou Reed video from years ago, and also a little bit of James Cameron Terminator thrown in to boot.

Did this in the past two days, freehand with no reference. Grayscale markers and some white-out. Turned out pretty good, almost as well as I imagined in my head. I couldn't think of a great background that wouldn't detract from the figure, so...oh well.

How would you feel knowing that your entire life was a lie and that your existence was based upon falsehoods and misconceptions? What would you do? How could you cope?

Wow. I had that song in my head before I even looked at the picture. Now I'm going to see the picture every time I listen to the song.

Dude that's awesome. My brother was the one that got me into Celldweller, until I saw them er... Him... Yeah... in concert I really didn't care for them, but just watching Klayton switch between instruments constantly got me into it cause of all the work he does.

Awesome work Ward! Really like the eyes... they look eerily life-like and seem to come right out of the pic at me. Also, I think the background is a great choice!

wow this is a great one, very well realized!
I love your use of the black and white, you always get some nice tortured result. Although this one is certainly one of your best. You seem to always be improving your art!!
I'm faving it.

You really did capture something to those words! The veins on the hand... awesome!!
Oo, and the background reminded me of a bathroom tile floor, kinda like they be layin' down. Meh. Just a thought.

Great work tho!
