Artist's Comments

Sorry it's not in color, there's too much detail for me to care @_@ That's right, I don't even have the patience to shade in Storm's black hair.

This was inspired by listening to a mix of "Time is Running Out", "Starlight", "Hoodoo", and "City of Delusion", all of which are by Muse. XD So I'm going to post a little bit of the lyrics to each on here. (shut it, I know I did "Time is Running Out" way back when.)

"The starlight
I will be chasing your starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away" ~Starlight, Muse

"Stay away from me
Build your fortress
And shield your beliefs
Touch the Divine
As we fall in line

Can I believe
When I don't trust?
All your theories
Turn to dust
I choose to hide
From the All-Seeing Eye

Destroy this City of Delusion
Break these walls down
I will avenge
Justify my reasons
With your blame

You'll not let rest
Settle for less
Until you guzzle
And squander what's left
Do not deny
That you live and let die" ~City of Delusion, Muse

"You should never be afraid
You're protected from trouble and pain
Why, why is this a crisis in your eyes again

Taught to be
How did it come to be?
Tied to a railroad
You'll have to set us free
Watch our souls fade away
Let our bodies crumble away
Don't be afraid

I will take the cold for you

And I've had recurring nightmares
That I was loved for who I am
And missed the opportunity
To be a better man." ~Hoodoo, Muse

"I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted

Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

'Cause our time is
Running out
And our time is
Running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out

How did it come to this?

You will suck the life out of me" ~Time is Running Out, Muse

(this is turning into a long description @@)
This angel-type form and outfit were inspired by an RP I did with my friend, Sayuri, a couple months ago, where Storm was a Forest Guardian that was stumbled upon by an upper-class girl named Lily. Basically, only Chosen people can see Storm, and these Chosen people are determined by people who are having a problem in their life that will greatly effect their life, as in it could be the defining question of whether you live a happy life or a miserable one. Well, Storm introduces himself to Lily (I don't remember if he had the angel wings or not, if he did, she couldn't see them) and they talked for a bit. Storm said he'd follow her back (though he later admitted he had no choice in it---Once a Chosen finds him, he's bound to them until their problem is solved. That's why he has to help :p ) and Lily said that if he wanted to stay out of the commotion of what was going on (her father picking a suitor for her) then he should probably stay in the forest. Because Storm has a big mouth, he casually says "Oh, it's okay, it's not like they'll be able to see me." Niiiice. So yeah, it was really fun and Storm and Lily got a little...attached XD Storm revealed that he had once actually been human, and that when he was 19, he had been a very selfish, very crude person. I can't remember exactly what he did to earn the Gods' wrath, but they sent him a message in his sleep and when he woke up, he was in different clothes and the powers of the Guardians (though he didn't know it yet.) He had no idea what had happened, so he just went with it. But after a few years, he noticed he wasn't aging, nor was his hair growing or anything. He asked the Gods what was wrong with him, and they said that because of his selfishness, he would have to spend the rest of his life being giving and self-sacrificing. It was a bummer to him, but he accepted it. But after 100 years had passed, still no aging, he was concerned. That was when the Guardians fully explained the situation to him. Storm is still a bit bitter towards them in the RP. Once Storm tells Lily that, she asks him to speak to the Gods and ask why they picked him to watch over her. He hesitantly complied, yatta yatta, he had to tell her that if the Gods had taken away his Guardian abilities, that the part of him that was human would age extremely fast and die. After all, humans don't live to be 400 years old. Lily was devastated by this and tried to avoid him, yatta yatta, that can't really work since the bond between Guardian and Chosen is like a rope around Storm's waist that drags him with her, yatta yatta. xD In the end, Storm begged the Gods to take away his abilities, but to return his body to the age it was when he was 19. The Gods saw that he had drastically changed, since the old, selfish Storm would never have risked his life for the sake of a woman. They granted him this, though Storm didn't realize it at first. Lily's father found them together and became enraged at Storm. He shot at him, but without thinking, Lily leaped in front of him and blocked the bullet, causing it to go into her and she died in Storm's arms. Storm was absolutely crushed and he sobbed over Lily's body while Lily's father slowly realized that he had just killed his own daughter. He pointed the blame quickly to Storm, saying it was his fault and Storm shouted something at him and broke down again. Lily's father shot him then, and having nothing else to block the shot, Storm slowly died. While he was dying, a revelation came to him. Her father had seen him, and he knew that he wasn't a Chosen. He cried a little again, realizing that the Gods had granted his wish but it had been too late. His dying thoughts were "This must be my punishment...for being as selfish as him..."

(btw, in the picture, he's preparing balls of energy. I just added those for effect. He didn't really have powers like that in the RP :p)
