This was inspired by the song The Noose by the beautiful –A Perfect Circle- Thirteenth Step album.
The song just gets to me every time it’s on… it is one of those things.

The Noose
So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
With Heaven's help
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

Recall the deeds as if
They're all someone else's
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down (repeated)

Your halo slipping down
to choke you now.

…. It is a beautiful sounding song but it also has an interesting point to it,
like a lot of Perfect circle and Tool music.
The image that I drew was just something that kinda popped into my mind when I would listen to the song,
It does not reach out and tickle all of the meaning to the songs words or anything like that…
Just like I had said it was simply the image that came dancing out of the tip of my pen as the song drifted over me.
Its just innocence being stripped down to something none other than greed and/or pride
Some people need this to be done, some people deserve it. Need to be removed from their cloud that hovers oh so high above us all –
All of us others, all of us the sinners.


oh and there are things that bother me here, her tattoo is fucked but it was difficult since i had done all the back shading before hand and repeating the same image on the other side of her sholderblade was difficult. the shadowing is not the grandest but i don't mind it all that much .... its like an test for me ... the more i try the better i shal get so this is stage one
-just though i would point them out otherwise people will annoy me by making sure i notice my own mistakes

Enjoy.
