Here is my inspiration: http://frankfrazetta.org/viewimage.php?loc=frank_frazetta_thesilverwarrior.jpg

Oh, that was one of my possible inspirations! It’s so iconic.

When I looked up his work, that was the first one I saw. I looked at others but that one stuck with me.

I recognized the picture you chose right from the start. I think you capture Frazetta’s image well, especially in your first line.

I hope the stranger isn’t hungry. :o

Just kidding. This is great. Very atmospheric.

Really nice job capturing a visual, and I’ve never seen any of this guy’s work. It makes for a very dramatic scene. My only nitpick would be to watch how much you use ‘to be’ formulations. I do the same thing.
