Fall or fight?
As with most of the IF's that I've done so far, this wasn't my first idea. If I have a flash of inspiration, I'll come up with one idea, then another and another and I'll overload and decide that most are overly ambitious and scrap them. It's quite sad when I have an idea in my head and it looks amazing, but then I can't actually put it down onto paper, or when I do it looks nothing like what I wanted.
I've been in a pretty dark place emotionally for months now and I don't really see an end to it yet. Like my ideas, one thing happens, then another and another. So this was inspired in part by that place in my head. It also reminds me of the scenes in Dragon where Bruce Lee is battling that huge demon. I don't know why this is apparent to me now, I haven't watched that film in ages.
this turned out GREAT — love the glowing white eyes, the sheer size of the foe, the hint of forest in the background ... everything's working, and what's more, there's blood!
