Description
I am the painted faces, the toxic kiss
Sowing of doubt, troll beneath the bridge
Come across
Death by a thousand cuts
Believe it, we live as we dream / scream

I am the desert-scape, the sand inside your hourglass
I am the fear and abuse, the leper children
Every eye sewn shut

Nightwish - Ghost River

"After my death I was punished for my deeds. My soul was tortured and burned in fire that was hotter than anything you could ever find from this world. And yet, I survived. In the end, only smoke remained of the fire that scorched me. Do you really think that you can alone with your mere, bare claws send me back to where I came from?"

This is my old character Crochax . (<-- I can't belive I drew that only two years ago. It's so ugly!)
He has a weird name, I know. And his design has changed a bit in my mind during these two years.
I've had this idea on my mind for months. It feels good to finally get it out.
I've been feeling very down lately for multiple reasons so this is also vent art in a way. If I feel like drawing blood or gore, Crochax is definitely the best character I have for that. He's dead, but when he was alive he was the most over powered character I've had to this day. He was unbelievably strong and tough but didn't actually have any notable battle skills. He relied very much on his strength to crush his enemies and he was almost impossible to take down.
Almost. As I said, he's dead by now. It's maybe a bit strange that I started to like him more only after he died. Now he's a spirit of the Dark Forest in Warrior Cats RPG Finland, and due to some events in the game I still occasionally get to play with/as him. ^^
Three songs also inspired me to draw this. One is the song above because the lyrics I listed there fit so well for Crochax and his certain arrogance, brutality and other character features. Hearing them always makes me think of him. The two others are Cliff Lin - Total Annihilation and TriORE - There's a Smell to Life That Dies .
I have always thought that Ghost River is actually the River of Tuonela, which, in Finnish folklore, is a river of lost souls and the border between our world and the world of the dead. It's described as either a dark or burning river. Maybe that explains why I drew fire.
No mature filter, because I don't think I can draw blood realistically enough to make that filter necessary. His eye is sewn just for decoration, by the way. He's not really missing an eye. His front claws are so long he can't even sheathe them properly.

A version without background, smoke or blood can be seen HERE .
