the Draconians of Atlantis in Escaflowne were (probably coincidentally) similar to the Krell of Altair IV in Forbidden Planet. An enlightened godlike civilization who destroyed themselves by inventing a machine that could turn thoughts into reality.

A machine discovered and reactivated by a misguided scientist.

The "big bad" of the anime series Vision of Escaflowne, Emperor Dornkirk is the power-mad ruler of the industrial dystopia known as Zaibach. He aims to control and alter the destiny of his plant and other worlds. Personally, he reminds me of a levelled-up Elon Musk who seeks to enslave everyone in his giant Amazon warehouse. 

This is my original Picmix character portrait using animation stills from the anime and graphics from Picmix’s website.

1600s era British/British-North Americans with a surprising knowledge of physics have a habit of taking over alternate dimensions, apparently. Weird that it happened twice.

If you’re one of like five people in the world who gets this Escaflowne reference, you’re cordially invited to my birthday party circa 2001 or so.

Shifting Focus. I was trying to think of what to draw for a while for @yearlyesca's prompt for August/September. I kind of realized I focus a lot on Hitomi (clearly) and the other protagonists of the series. Seldom do I think about Dornkirk or much of Zaibach. Having drawn Dilandau a few times I figured I would do a drawing on the man responsible for really kickstarting the Destiny War. The man from the Mystic Moon, who I think of as the other side of the coin. I think if I were more of a writer I would write something that could better illustrate (ha! see what I did there?) this shift in focus. Lacking that, here's a picture of Dornkirk.
