.:Lean on Me:.

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Lean on me...

Abel is by far my favorite character, and the only thing I regret is that he is fan character rather than something purely original.

Since I made .:MuRdErOuS InTeNt:. and thought it turned out so well, it was only natural that I need to have a pic of Abel that followed the same style and attention. Sure the pic is not nearly as in depth, but Abel really doesn't have a design that needs it.

The point of the pic is to show a stark contrast between Caine and Abel, Red and Black against Blue and White, malice versus compassion.

If it is hard to tell (and I pray to god it isn't), he is extended his hand in friendship or to help and lead the way.

He's sticking his tongue out like that to show his playful nature as well. Honestly, I took it out while drawing to see how it looked... some of the effect was lost.

It should be noted that Abel is very much a free spirit, unknowing or uncaring of whether or not his actions seem overly friendly. The song is indeed the ideals he has, and he doesn't care if the words are directed towards a male or a female.

This display of ideological innocence is one of the biggest reasons why Caine is so violent towards him.

If your curious as to why I'm giving you all this information, it's because I want my audience, no matter the size, to have as much of an understanding of my characters as they wish to know^^

Hope you guys enjoy the pic, it was fun to do and I'm very happy with final result^^
