Reach through the darkness

"And every time I lose control
You help me, you save me
And every time I lose myself
You find me, redefine me
And every time I hate myself
You love me, forgive me
And every time I lose myself
You find me, redefine me."

- Lyrics from the song "Redefine" by Soil

This is my entry to the spring contest 2006 at the IchiRuki Community at livejournal.com. It was supposed to be a themed contest and I chose Theme 1 which were the lyrics above.

I've had this image in my mind from the moment I laid eyes on the lyrics, but I didn't get started on the pic before the other day, and tomorrow I'm leaving town for the weekend hence why it looks somewhat rushed and messy.

Whether I win anything in the competition or not, I still hope people at the community will like this pic.

The pic features the main characters of Bleach, Ichigo and Rukia who are both Shinigami. However, Ichigo is here featured in his new Hollow(evil spirit)-form which should explain the spoiler warning.
