I Nearly Do-even closer WIP

Edit: 5/22: Mmmm, been busy with graduating, but I had a free hour with nothing to do this morning and no internet... so I worked on shadows, some light noise, filling in the red more fully and begin to work on the cape, and, of course, cleaned up some lines. :3 It's getting pretty far, neh? *still has no idea what to do about the background* ... ._.U

still a lot of touchup work to do, but it's nearly done! D:! I stopped touching it for a while and feared my getting bogged down with things was gonna pull me away from finishing this... like it does everything else. So I picked it up tonight. Just gotta finish fixing the lines, getting the cape, maybe going over shadows and highlights more so it's not so... ucky, and then the horrid background which'll take my life D" But I AM gonna do it, kuso!

;~; Okay, I just started photoshopping this but I'm listening to Run by Snow Patrol and I'm about to cry from how FUCKING SAD the song is with the picture... UGH MY HEART!! So... touching... WAH!

"Run" by Snow Patrol
...To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Okay, and now for other lyrics: This song has drove me nuts. It's so strange, but subtlely sad... Especially considering the title. I doubt this song can be found on the internet:

"How To Be Dead"

Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
Where you've had me for hours
Till I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way

Please keep your hands down
And stop raising your voice
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion can you give me sometime
So just say yes or no
Why can't you shoulder the blame
Coz both my shoulders are heavy
From the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said...
Oh, my God

Please take it easy it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
That you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something
It's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride
