I don't think I've ever mentioned this so I'm going to correct that mishap.
From the moment I saw this image, I was absolutely transfixed. I am an aspiring author and for a reason that can only be attributed to fate, I came upon this image and instantly, it brought me together with an idea that was more a concept, the idea of a grand story than an actual scenario with only one fixed character in it that had always been in my head.
Since then, (and that was a couple of years back), I've come back to this image so often that I can't even count the occasions anymore. The concept became the largest enterprise I have ever undertaken. The story has been building since then and if the first drafts were composed about a year back, the actual official writing began only three weeks ago. And, amidst school and a million other distracting elements, I've managed to produce 4500 words that I am increasingly proud of.
Now this might be meaningless but here's the catch; this piece of art is the practically spitting image of the very character I was searching to depict in my story. He displays the same focused pride, the same self-assuredness and the same general aura that I was aiming for. And he's always had a very similar costume which made it all the more awesome when I "met" your covered up guy for the first time.
Now I hope I'm not sounding impertinent or plagiaristic or anything because frankly, I simply wished to impart how heavily this image impacted my life and the greatest project I've ever taken on. I'm still a long way from even hoping to get published but nevertheless, I wanted to let you know, regardless of the book ever becoming successful or your reading it in the event that it should. Or even your reading the comment, seeing as you most likely already have many to read and this one turned out quite lengthy.
