So! About that Future Griffith guy. I finally got a name for his AU, and I’m going with Shattered Causality to sound cool, SHC! Griffith for short. I also changed up the way I’ve been drawing him, totally not because I really like his design in the ‘97 Anime, but to also touch up on his overall palette. Blue works pretty well on him!
As for where I’ve been… Well, I’ve been busy working on my Senior Thesis to get ready for this April! The story I’m working on for Shattered Causality is swirling around in my brain in the background, or as visualized here, Griffith sitting on the counter looking pretty thinking I’m drawing him. I mean sure bro???
Okay, okay, life update aside. Why don’t I throw you a juicy lore piece?
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING | BLOOD, SELF HARM
Shattered Causality really begins at the winter duel between Griffith and Guts. After white boy loses, instead of lying there in broken defeat, he snaps with anger! Cutting his arm with his broken blade, he draws blood to activate his Behelit prematurely before he attempts to chase down Guts, buuuuut this break in predetermined events shatters space and time in the process, causing him to get projected to the far future.
Now, he’s condemned to modern times where the events of Berserk are long forgotten in the past, trapped between the crushing realization of his selfish mistake costing him everything, and being an goofball fascinated with modern technology.
Griffith spiraling while also clinging on to suppressing/down-playing how he actually feels to cope 💅❤️✨
As an unintended Butterfly Effect, Future Gribby’s break in Causality also effected an Alternate Timeline, involving my OC Glory. In other words, I decided to suck it up and attempt to draw his Hawk of Light armor! Don’t worry, I kept the lipstick on this guy, it gives him a bit of a regal touch imo.
Speaking of Glory, I made some quick sketches of him and Guts, and what Ceres looked like in Noble clothing during the Golden Age Arc! Guts and Glory DO know each other from their days in the Hawks, but after the Eclipse, they thought it would be best to split up with the whole brand situation they have going on.
Anyway, that’s about all I have for now! Maybe one of these days I’ll actually get my thoughts straightened out and write out my story fully, but I’ll be sure to share my wacky ideas for anyone interested in my work!
