Concealed from the view
Hidden from the knowledge of Men
A little kind through trees it lives
Nymphs of dark and lust
"Fairy of bad fate!"
Somebody tells he has seen
Some of the little ones
Some even that have talked with them

So nice and handsome
"Please, don't be such a fool!
Tell everyone that the witches come tonight"

Desire grows, denial howls
Your will has gone
"Divine the wicked multitude
Worship your servitude"
Enthroned and ringed with gold
Of the mighty old oak
I'm on the lightness side

Daughters and sons
There are times to carry on,
All my life for you
Keep on singing my tale
Deny the Trows kind
Don't you dare to stay behind?
Through years and centuries,
Through myth and poetry
Our race's slowly dying
In the heart of mankind

-"Trows Kind," by ElvenKing

Decided to do a fantasy-themed piece inspired by one of my favorite power metal songs. Depicted here is Chrome (Or, most likely, an ancestor of his) running into a cursed fairy in the woods after becoming cast out of his home town. She welcomes him with open arms and promises to grant him the power that will help him exact revenge on those who have wronged him. Despite knowing the risks that come with following these often deceptive creatures, he approaches with caution, telling her he is open to hearing more details regarding her offer.

This was mostly speed-painted today, with some colors and outlines laid out a few days earlier, so overall it took about 5-7 hours to complete. Hope you guys like it!

I'm working on a second pic that acts as a follow-up to this one. :P
