-Hellstorm-
The idea behind this painting came from a dream. I was wandering around in a storm that was thick with dust, wind, and fire. I could barely see 2 feet in any direction. I didn't necessarily assume I was in Hell, but it definitely wasn't Earth.
As I walked forward, I had my hands out trying to feel around, when my hand came down onto what seemed to be a shoulder. What followed was what I painted here. The details of the creature weren't exactly the same in the dream. Obviously, I made changes to suit what I felt like painting at the time, but I just thought it was such a cool idea to be lost in one of Hell's worst storms bumping into one of it's locals.
