Description A request for  

Was asked to draw a picture based off of what I imagined with this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcpGIV…

I know the picture doesn't really match the tone of the song, but the story behind it does.

Story: In the near future, a human colony orbits Venus in hopes of settling down there. An astronaut, Walt, and his team are sent to explore. They find an ancient temple beneath the surface of the planet. An alien and his team of researchers touch down on the planet and warn the humans not to interfere with the temple. The lead astronaut and one of the alien researchers, Nes, become good friends, but despite the warnings, Walt lets curiosity get the best of him and accidentally activates an ancient power that is hungry for blood. It manipulates the minds of the human colony and alien research team, making them turn against each other in a bloody dispute. Walt and Nes struggle for control over their minds while trying to put the ancient evil back to sleep. In the end, Walt kills Nes while being controlled, the colony crashes to the surface of Venus, destroying the remains of the temple and the ancient evil. Walt snaps out of it and finds that he's killed Nes. He carries Nes to the surface in despair as the sun rises on an image of burning destruction.

I didn't intentionally mean to make the alien friend look like an Elite from Halo, this is all completely original. I know this pic would be so much better if I knew how to shade and work with lighting (and proper color correnction), but it's what I got.

Sorry it was so sad D: but the song was a kind of parting-of-ways, inevitability-of-the-never-mending-a-friendship kind of story, so the song itself was sad. Don't know if it's what you pictured though X)

I kinda felt like the song was about the exact opposite. About how much you had in common with the one you hate, since that's kinda what happened in the game the song was from. I was kinda expecting some kind of epic fight.

I really don't want to sound ungrateful, I really don't but... I don't know, I just like it when things end well.

It's ok To be honest, I pictured a generic sword fight between to guys, but because I knew that's what everyone immediately pictured with the song I went deeper into what the song could represent. Despite the tone of the picture, I imagined this song would go good with the scene where the human colony ship is crashing to the ground so...yeah.
