Alrighty, so today I have actually been working more on drawing than on writing. I have been wanting to get representations of all of my characters, and don't know any artists whom I have not burdened with my cover art. So at the moment I am terrible of course, and my patience is already wearing thin, but with any luck I will improve quickly enough that I won't explode.
Anyway! The inspiration for today is 'Denial' by Sevendust. It is actually the only song I have by them, and it was a remnant from my high school days. Rediscovered it when I found an old CD cover I made in photography class. But I am sure no one cares, so moving on.
This song is obviously very combative and defiant for pretty much everything but the chorus. The images it brings to mind for me is someone defying a powerful opponent against all of the odds. They are standing up for what they believe is right, but the person they are fighting is as well. Their enemy is in 'denial' that they are actually the evil in the world. They believe they are in the right as much as the protagonist does. Fortunately, the protagonist doesn't care if they are in denial. They are the evil in the world, and will die for it. They can come to terms with that after they are no longer a problem.
That is an awesome cover!!
