Don Quixote Cover

"And so, by now quite insane, he conceived the strangest notion that ever took shape in a madman's head... to become a knight errant, and to travel about the world with his armour and his arms and his horse in search of adventures, and to practice all those activities that he knew from his books were practiced by knights errant,  redressing all kinds of grievances, and exposing himself to perils and dangers that he would overcome and thus gain eternal fame and renown."

So a few months ago I officially started college and I'm enrolled in a Humanities course, where we read and dissect ten books in a semester. The course I'm in now is "The Early Modern World" and our first reading was Miguel de Cervantes's famous novel, Don Quixote. I took Spanish for four years in high school and we talked a lot about Don Quixote my senior year, so I was quite happy that it was the first book in the series. It's quite long, about 980 pages with 74 chapters. Thankfully we only had to read sections, although I do intend to read the entire thing one day. I really enjoyed the book. It follows the adventures of a hidalgo in Spain that has a huge library filled with books on knights and chivalry. He reads these books so much that he becomes insane and decides to become a knight himself. He fixes up some old armor, gets on his horse Rocinante, convinces a local farmer called Sancho Panza to become his loyal squire, and rides off to do daring deeds and restore chivalry to the land. In one of the most famous scenes, he charges a group of windmills, mistaking them for fierce giants. Needless to say, that didn't go well for him. XD
    My English course goes along with the Humanities course and our latest assignment was to take a work we had read so far and transform it into a modern media. I chose to turn Don Quixote into a videogame! Seriously though, Don Quixote would make a pretty cool open-world RPG game. So, I drew a rough design for the cover of the game, featuring the iconic windmill in the background and Don Quixote in his knight armor, his face mysteriously hidden in shadow. His name appears in red and yellow, the colors of the Spanish flag. Also, the Q in Quixote is made of a shield and a lance. The game would be for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. I rated it "E for Enchanters", and if you've read the book you would know that Don Quixote is always blaming the "wizards and enchanters" for his failures. The game would possibly be published by Activision, but I really put that there as a placeholder. I'm not really a big fan of Activision but it was the best publisher I could think of at the time. XD Now, if you'll excuse, I have some giants to battle...
