Description
A bit of fan-art I did in honor of one of Metallica's most respected songs, "One."The song tells of a WWII veteran whose arms and legs were horrendously blown off when he was struck by a German artillery bombshell. The blast permenantly destroyed his eyesight, audibility, arms, legs, even his sense of smell. Worst of all, he is somehow still living. Since all of his five senses were rubbed out, all he can do is sit alone in his mind, "wishing for death," hence the lyrics. He suffers from a symptom commonly known as "locked-in-syndrome."
If you would like to listen to the song, follow this link to the music video.[link]
Song lyrics and the song itself are written and composed by Metallica, which I do not own in any legal matter.

Strange, usually most non-Metallica fans I know prefer Enter Sandman. But oh well...

That song is extremely deep, and my favorite Metallica song... In fact, it's pretty much the only song I like from Metallica.
Nice job on this drawing, you have a really good sense of macabre.

they have some other good songs, too. Try looking for "Trapped Under Ice" or "Enter Sandman." Those are some pretty good ones.
Well, I try not to do too many macabre-themed drawing. Particularly because my mom doesn't think it's healthy for me, but most of the macabre-themed ones I make are simply for art-therapy, where I let out my anger or sadness in ways other than in front of other people or bottling it up like some people do.

Might as well.
Yeah, parents would believe that, I rather like it myself, it looks kick-ass. What I do to vent my anger is to discuss it with others, or occasionally pranking.
