It made me think of a time when humans were awestruck by the night sky, and lived by spreading elaborate stories. I imagined an ancient story teller, who traveled from village to village sharing stories of his grand adventures, and becoming revered by all of the tribes he visited.
When I got home I immediately started drawing.
I had a lot of fun doing this, and it was a challenge. Shading is one of my mortal enemies, and this thing is full of it. I don't plan on it being the only project of its kind. I like the idea of taking one line from a song, and seeing what I can make of it. I'm off to listen to more metal, and see what comes to mind.
