The futuristic scarecrow.

Maybe you're familiar with Stephen King's short story Children of the Corn, and if you're not I'd suggest you to read it 'cause it's an unforgettable story.
Your picture made me think of it, and I want to show you just one quote:

"Isaac: Behold, a dream did come to me, and the Lord did show all of this to me.
Corn-Children: Praise God! Praise the Lord!
Isaac: A time of tribulation has come. A test, the Final Test, is at hand.
Malachai: What has the Lord commanded?
Isaac: In my dream the Lord came to me... It was He Who Walks Behind the Rows. I fell on my knees in terror, and hid my eyes, lest the fearfulness of His face strike me dead! He told me all that has since happened; He said, "Joseph has taken his things and fled this happy place, because the worship of Me is no more upon him. So take you his life, and spill his blood like water upon the earth! But let not his flesh pollute the corn; cast him instead upon the road!
Malachai: And so it was done. Joseph the Betrayer was cast out!
Isaac: And He Who Walks Behind The Rows did say, "I will send outlanders amongst you: a man and a woman. These outlanders will be unbelievers and profaners of the holy. But they will sorely test you, for they have great power, even greater than that of the Blue Man!
Corn-Children: The Blue Man! Yes, the Blue Man!
Isaac: And just as the Blue Man was offered up unto He Who Walks Behind the Rows, so shall be the unbelievers!
Malachai: Make sacrifice unto Him! Bring Him the blood of the outlanders!
Corn-Children: Praise God; praise the Lord! Praise God! Praise the Lord...!"


So let me think about what the red king has commanded: We should hunt him down, 'cause he's a traitor, and he broke the law in God's own country. It's always "the law" that protects the mighty, and it's always passion that breaks their rules.

Maybe you didn't even think of King's story when you did this shot for your art book here, but you think of it now. And I hope your futuristic scarecrow makes our bad dreams go away.
