Will You Be There

"Hold me
Like the River Jordan,
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend.

Carry me
Like you are my brother,
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?

When weary
Tell me will you hold me?
When wrong, will you mold me
When lost will you find me?

But they told me
A man should be faithful,
And walk when not able,
And fight till the end.
But I'm only human

Everyone's taking control of me.
Seems that the world's
Got a role for me.
I'm so confused
Will you show to me.
You'll be there for me,
And care enough to bear me"

First, let me apologise for the large size. The original image is 46.5cm x 37cm as it was done on an A2 piece of paper -- my biggest pen drawing ever, and lately, my biggest drawing. Let's just say that my hand with fingers joined almost covers the two figures, and I have big hands. It took four scans to get it all, and I pieced it together again digitally.

The song and image are closely connected The boy is Nari and the girl is Lara. If people want, I can submit a collection of close-ups to Scraps, as you can barely see the deer, the rabbits, the four eagles, or the many townspeople It took about 12 hours total.

Edit: Close-ups can be found here [link]
