Comm_The Rage which Blinds us

Description

^u^ Long overdue commission for the ever patient Noko~<3

She asked me for a drawing of her character Akuma in both his human and alternate form- little-noko.deviantart.com/art…
little-noko.deviantart.com/art… and requested that the overall piece be one of a symbolic nature.


Akuma reverts to his monster form when he is overcome by feelings of powerlessness or rage.
Thus he blinded by the very creature those feelings serve to create.
Both he and the monster are bound by the same central core, which he is attempting to shield from those flickering and volatile emotions, to maintain some semblance of control.
Anger and the violence it commands always create a downward spiral, which will eventually consume the heart of any man. Leaving only the semblance of a monster.

Overall I wanted the picture to read almost like a tarot card, as their imagery always alludes to a deeper message.

I hope you enjoy this piece overall Noko.
And thank you again so very much for your commission and your impressive sense of patience~<3

The awesomeness...it's too much!  :faint: :dead:

I am loving the symbolism and hidden meanings in this picture!  Right off the bat, you can see that there's a deeper meaning to be found, if you just take the time to really look at the picture, and look at yourself.

I totally agree with :iconaealzx:.  Everything about this is just...:love: :la:

:lol: I'm such a geek.  :D
