BLACK METAL
THE METAL SCENE WAS THE MAIN INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS ART AND THIS IS HOW I CREATED THE CHARACTER: THE METAL STATUE.
I'M FASCINATED BY THE METAL SCENE BECAUSE OF THE MUSIC, PHILOSOPHY AND APPEARANCE. BLACK METAL IS THE SCENE THAT I ADMIRE A LOT AND I SPENT SO MUCH TIME IN THAT SCENE. AND IT'S OBVIOUS TO THE PEOPLE THAT I WAS INSPIRED BY BLACK METAL BECAUSE OF THE SPIKES THAT I'M WEARING. THIS ART IS NOT ABOUT MUSIC, IT'S ABOUT SILENCE. SILENCE IS THE MOST POWERFUL THING THAT WE HAVE AND THIS IS WHY IT LOOKS SO TERRIFYING.
TOLKIEN
IT'S A RINGWRAITH JUST WITH SPIKES.
IT'S THE METAL STATUE.
THE APPEARANCE GOES BACK TO THE NAZGULS FROM LORD OF THE RINGS AND IT'S TRUE THAT I WAS INFLUENCED BY THE CONCEPT OF THIS CHARACTER. THERE IS NOTHING MORE TERRIFYING THAN THE FACE OF DEATH AND IT'S A CHARACTER THAT FITS VERY WELL INTO THE METAL SCENE.
STOICISM
BE ALWAYS STOIC, BE ALWAYS METAL.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT BUT THIS ART IS DEEPER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK. THERE IS A DEEP MESSAGE BEHIND THIS, IT'S CALLED STOICISM. THIS PHILOSOPHY AND ART CHANGED MY PERSONALITY. IT HELPED ME TO GET THAT HIGH LEVEL OF SERENITY. SO IT'S NOT JUST ARTISTIC, IT'S ALSO SPIRITUAL. THERE IS NOTHING MORE INSPIRATIONAL THAN TO BE A LIVING STATUE BECAUSE
YOU LEARN DISCIPLINE AND SELF CONTROL.
