WE DON’T REALLY CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS IN THE APOCALYPSE
The soundtrack for this piece was a combination of Station Eleven, Mad Max: Fury Road, and The Road soundtracks. I was very excited to get through November’s piece and work on this. The vision came to mind way back while working on The Flame Queen, but I knew it had to be December’s offering.
I love blending divine elements into fantasy work, and this is no exception. The Christmas star beams down on a solitary post-apocalyptic scavenger climbing the bombed out shells of the city. In my mind, they have no idea what the Christmas star is because Christmas doesn’t exist after civilization gets wiped out. Well, Christmas as a consumer-rich holiday. The essence of something cosmic, something godlike still exists, but it’s no longer celebrated.
