Hevisaurus and YOU!
9 years ago
So, you might have noticed the drawing I just posted! It's Rick and a weird dinosaur guy...that dinosaur guy is (supposed to be) Herra Hevisaurus, the lead singer of the Finnish heavy metal band Hevisaurus!
Now...you might have noticed how I hadn't posted a drawing of my own in a while, settling instead for a barrage of commissions and art drawn by other artists. Well...I've have been extremely slow on drawing. To be honest, I haven't gotten any good inspiration in a while. The last actual drawing I posted was the one I made for Zain over a year ago for his birthday.
You might have noticed the pattern. Only stuff I get really passionate about is strong enough to help me break through an art block. And boy...am I passionate about this band of scanidnavian guys in dinosaur costumes playing music for children.
The band is made up by five dinosaurs (well, four dinosaurs and a dragon) who hatched from metal eggs on the mountain after some witches did...stuff. Pretty standard metal lore. We have Riffi Raffi, the guitarist...Komppi Momppi, the drummer...Muffi Puffi, the bassist...Milli Pilli, the keyboardist...and Herra Hevisaurus (translated as Mr. Hevisaurus), the singer. Up to date, they have released 7 albums, 91 tracks in total. Their music isn't the kind that tries to teach kids lessons or stuff, but instead promotes fun and basically doing whatever the heck you want. The topics they touch on are all over the place, and some of their songs are even covers of traditional music from Finland, made awesome. The give concerts fairly often, and I make sure to look up anything about them on YouTube almost daily. Heck, they got so big in Finland, they even got their own movie last year!
Now, why am I here advertising this band as if I was getting paid for it? Well...I just think they are something special. In my entire life, whenever I get asked who is my favorite singer or favorite band...I was never able to answer. I gave pretty vague answers, but I was never fully convinced. It feels like these guys came to fill in that empty spot. For me, it's like they were missing from my life for too long.
I've gone full fan. I bought 6 of their discs (imported directly from Finland), got a plushie of the singer (agh, still looking for the other plushies), and I'm about to get a DVD of the movie. All I need is to go to one of their concerts. Only then I'll be truly happy.
I decided to share this here because...furries. I would say this thing could appeal to furries (if not scalies) really well. It's anthropomorphic dinosaurs (and a dragon) playing music and being wild! What's not to like? I've noticed some pieces of art here in FA, but not as many as I would like to see. So, I'm trying to spread word of this somewhat unknown phenomenon in order to change this. I already did my contribution with that drawing, and I hope that in the future there's more!
Here I'll include a video where I think they explain things pretty well. Herra Hevisaurus himself even makes an appearance! Apparently, he can speak English just fine!
With all that said and done, the only thing left to say is...
RÄYH!!!
