I do know in fact that FA aint really an social forum like Facebook, but I tend to dislike facebook and I have nothing better to do at the moment...

So a recurring theme some might have noticed that I tend to link songs into the descriptions of pictures I do, discounting those that I do for others. Not that I wouldnt put effort into such pictures, I just dont usually find a good song to link to them.
Why I do this is because most of my pictures are actually born out of songs I listen to. I find it impossible most of the time to simply listen to a song and enjoy how its done technically, instead letting my mind wander out to new frontiers. When I picture a strong image out of a song I really like, I just have to immortalize it. When I do the picture, I listen to the song over and over again, only pausing to listen to other songs to clear my mind after the even stressful process. After the pic is finished, I compare it to my mental image and only stop adding finishing touches when it matches rather fully to how I envisioned it.

Now is an unique moment to me when I have many mental images that I want to immortalize and not enough courage to start all of them. So I am going to post a little description here, along with the song, so that i can come back to it in case I forget it. >.<

Do you know what Warhammer Fantasy Battle is? If so, then do you know what Chaos Warriors are? If not, then all you need to know that they are iron clad brutes hailing from the savage Chaos Wastes, only intent on pillaging an slaughtering other factions.
Imagine an warrior raised in a land that knows no mercy, only biting cold and creatures that hunger for human flesh. The warrior goes out in a journey to slay an covetous dragon that killed most of his tribe. In this journey he earns the skin of the dragon, but also something greater. The attention of the Gods of Chaos. Years later he now leads an host of ice blooded killers, seeking to subjugate everyone in his way under his rule. Carving an empire out of the bodies of the dead, his hunger for power holds no bounds. Some even whisper him having inherited the spirit of the dragon he had slain, an possession of terrible results.
Depicting the dragon slayer Njälgör Dragensjel as he trumps the forces of the Empire, ushering onward his host of cold hearted killers.

I have done Space Marines of the grimdark future of Warhammer 40.000. Whether the servant of chaos, or the protector of the Emperor, these superhumans are found many different flavors and colors. Many times it is shown how Emperor loyal Space Marines renounce their oaths and turn to worshipment of Chaos for different reasons, but how about former chaos devotees repenting for their actions and trying to make amends, albeit in a twisted way?
Enter Space Marines of the Devils Repentant, a former renegade warband that now carves a crusade through the Eye of Terror to redeem their souls in the eyes of the God Emperor. Chanting holy texts and carrying crucified enemies around, they fall upon the worshippers of chaos in reckless abandon, seeking to amend their sins in the blood of their enemies or their own.

The dead truly outnumber the living, with great minds eventually perishing to the ravages of time, never to be heard again. But what happens to these minds, these grand ideas and visions?
Enter an entity that is spoken in whispers throughout the ages. An avatar made out of the collected memories and visions of the long dead, one who holds all the secrets of the world and is ready to bargain them to the worthy ones. But great knowledge carries with it a great burden and nothing is truly given free.
Depicting an skeletal dragon avatar rising from a swamp where it has laid for who knows how long, scrutinizing an human who has come to bargain for the knowledge of the dead. The creature is shrouded in funeral clothing, with the baleful moon hanging in the background, painting an picture of serenity and feeling of the weight of ages.

Living in the royalty is glorious, but hard work. Raised in a middle class family and falling love to a girl of the elite, the guy is determined to raise through the classes no matter what. Dark deals, schooling from influental figures and voila,
he is working as an royal familys personal assassin and thief, sent to run through the dirty errands in the shadows. You gain recognition, status, but as you try to approach the girl of your dreams, you learn that she has been committed to someone else. With his work endangering his ultimately middle class public face and taking his time, his life of glory is blunted by stumped relationships.
