Zelgadis - Numb

Drawn at 4 in the morning while I was half asleep, this sketch stuck in my head and demanded to be finished. I was rather surprised to find that even in official art, there is no highlighting on Zelgadis' skin. Only his hair.

Anyway, this came out a lot better than I'd hoped. Lyrics in the background are Linkin Park's "Numb." Zelgadis belongs to bunches of people who aren't me. Drawn by hand, inked using Adobe Illustrator, colors done with Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and a mouse.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be...
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface.
Don't know what you're expecting of me,
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes.

(Caught in the undertow. Just caught in the undertow.)
Every step that I take is a nother mistake to you.
(Caught in the undertow. Just caught in the undertow.)

I've become so numb. I can't feel you there.
I've become so tired, so much more aware.
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.

Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control.
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Is falling apart right in front of you.

(Caught in the undertow. Just caught in the undertow.)
Every step that I take is a nother mistake to you.
(Caught in the undertow. Just caught in the undertow.)
And every second I waste is more than I can take.

I've become so numb. I can't feel you there.
I've become so tired, so much more aware.
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.

And I know I may end up failing too,
But I know you were just like me
With someone disappointed in you.

I've become so numb. I can't feel you there.
I've become so tired, so much more aware.
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.

I've become so numb. I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be.)
I've become so numb. I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be.)
