Daily Illustration: Holy Diver

First a song by Dio, than a cover by Killswitch Engage, Holy Diver mesmerized my wife and I when we first heard it. So I did a little research on the term, and found that the Holy Diver was supposedly a man accused of being a witch and sentenced to be drowned. A couple of days after his execution (they tied a bag of rocks to his feet and bound his arms, and dunked him in the sea), he was seen walking through town, and it was determined that he was protected by God for how else could he have survived?

Anyways, we loved the lyrics to the songs, full of fantasy overtones, so much, that both Deb and I decided to make art about the Holy Diver character. So here it is.
