Too steeped in darkness. He can't be reached.

ranting+time lapse

I am SO HAPPY, it's finally done!!!!!

Holee crap did I wrestle this one. As always, I had no clue how to bite into the render and this stage was drawn out a loooooong time. I started this like 5 months ago And that background, lord help me. I decided to record a time lapse to go back and watch the manic storm this time.

And after all that I ended up with a final product that... I'm pretty alright with? I have some issues with it. But as it were, it still turned out better than anything else I've made so far.

Dark Guardian:

Dark Guardian: *hands a Blade of Woe*

Dark Guardian, in raspy voice: Go. Do a crime.

Manfred: *confused hiss*

Haven't drawn one of these things in years. Tbh I kinda forgot about them after doing ALO.

Some quick info about these creachers since I never properly explain it in ALO: This is a Dark Guardian. Dark Guardians are lizard-like spirits that live inside some people's shadows and feed on negative emotions. They can appear in the physical world if said emotions become strong enough. DGs cannot interact with other creatures outside of other Guardians and their own carrier. That's why Shiba didn't use her DG to murder Daniel. If a DG is killed this hurts a lot for the carrier (e.g. Lynn's DG being killed in ALO) and the carrier will carry on living without it. Only a DG can kill another DG.

Also fun fact, during production I nicknamed Lynn's DG "Blitz" or "Blitzle" and Shiba's "Danny". These aren't official names (they're nameless) but just from a production-POV I wanted to nickname them
