fffff this only took up about 4 hours of my time >w>

Anyway, I have had this idea for a few days now, but I've been having a terrible art block...mainly for digital things. I've had inspiration...just not motivation. y'know? And SAI was lagging anyway, sooo..yeah.
Anyway, I wanted to use some symbolic stuff, because I'm really into that. So basically Medusa the witch controls Crona's life, and she has for a long time.
Crona is forced to do things he doesn't want to do. Kill people. Hunt for human souls and eat them. He doesn't want any of that. He doesn't want to hurt people. But...what could he do? His mother has bossed and manipulated him around ever since birth, and it's hard to go against a parental figure. He did his wrongs, but he didn't really have a choice. Which is why I like him so much. I can relate to Crona in a lot of ways, and I know that a lot of other people can too. Living a life trusting a parent, listening to them and then to have them turn their back on you, to hurt you physically, verbally or sexually. You don't know where to go when not even your own mother/father loves you. What CAN you do? I unerstand Crona's pain, and social anxiety, and every other problem he has. We all have a hell inside our head, and he's had to endure such things from a very young age.

Anyway, this is representing how Medusa has, and always will have, Crona under her grasp, almost like he is her puppet for evil, doing everything she commands him to, he moves under her like a trapped prey. And there's no escape for him.

Meh, wanted to do more with the shading, but it's one of those things that aren't very easy to work with.
Enjoy.
