TWISTED PERCEPTIONS – THE COSMIC RIDER
🕯️ CONCEPT / STORY:
In the silence of the universe, when the stars began to fade, The Cosmic Rider was born. He belonged neither to pure darkness nor to radiant light. In his hand, he held a staff forged from the heart of a dying galaxy. His flaming steed tore through the void, echoing the pulse of the cosmos itself. With every step, time folded, and matter bent to his will. And all who witnessed him knew one eternal truth: The brightest light is always born from the deepest darkness.
