I'm back! (And the 100 Themes Challenge)

Oops.  I've been super busy with working on OcculTango and convention illustrations.

I'm starting a new regimen where I start and/or finish an refined-sketch/illustration every Saturday.
To start off this new schedule, I'll be undertaking the 100 Themes Challenge.

The order I do the illustrations will be random and decided via a random number generator.

And to kick it off, here's number 92: Rape


I thought it was very... eerie that this was the first word I received.  I didn't even realize the word was on the list until I looked to see what #92 was.  I debated on not doing this one and even removing it from the list and replacing it with something else.
Rape is something that severely pisses me off, especially with the rape culture of the country.  It appalls me how people can just not be bothered by it.  All those scenes in movies and shows of rape makes me sick to my stomach and it angers me that not everyone has the same reaction.  I can not understand it.

I played around with a few sketches and came up with this one.  There are multiple hands to represent, not only the attack, but the blaming of the victim for being attacked.
