Artist's Comments

This is painted, not photomaniped. I normally do progressive saves but I got lazy with this one. Deal.

Mood: Wow! ~evilfutsin:iconevilfutsin: May 7, 2008, 7:24:00 PM
WOW! Lovely! Totally awesome! :D I love how the flames seem like an extension of the body, is it described that way in the series hence the visualization that way?

In any case, at first I thought it was a photo, so your skills still rawk. :nod:

well, in the story the men who wield the One Power are very strong in fire and earth, women more so in water and air. Hence the fire, but also in the series any man who touches the True Source feels the Dark One's taint. When the main character grasps the source he feels it always at the edge of his sight like a bright light waiting to be taken a hold of. But, numerous times he describes it as being in the dark with the source as the light or a flame. So that is kinda the reference hehe. Because of the taint all the men who continue to use the true source go insane and end up killing those around them with the one power. But, it is hard to stop once you have started, hence the title. I really tried to run on imagery here lol I am glad you like it though :D

I think you effectively captured that sense, though. The solitude, the singularity, of a single source, this STRONG thing that's gripped onto, almost as if there's nothing else in the dark but this man and the flame he touches. Very evocative. :)

Well, to add one more, this inspired a scene in my huge masterwork screenplay. :o Along with fed one of the other characters' flaming personality. (that's not a euphemism, it's quite literal)

And hey, when you posting something new, Meesh? :) :hug:
