OK. This is not TMNT fanart. It's Redwall. >w<

Martin and Tsarmina have always been my favorite hero x villain duo in Redwall. Although they don't have much drama and events between them, their stories actually have quite a lot in common. Like two parallel lines going in the same direction. Both are leaders with some legacy before them. Both are trying to live up to their fathers' legacy. Or at least how they see it. Both have a slavery theme. Former slave and enslaver. Both are dealing with some loss that they caused. Intentionally or not. They are both almost equally monstrous. With this whole "red glitter of total war shining hot in his eyes, his teeth bared in a wild laugh" thing)) And they both come to the last point completely alone by their own decision. And both would've die there. The main difference is that Tsarmina left everyone behind so as not to risk herself. And Martin left everyone behind so as not to risk them. So there was someone left to save him. There is some beauty in their similarity. It's as if the hero is fighting more than just some villain. It’s as if he is fighting his own crooked reflection. Brings his own ending. Just like Tsarmina herself walked into the lake.

The Gloomer. A huge, mindless Water Rat that lurked in the underground lake beneath Kotir castle in Mossflower, the second book in Brian Jacques Redwall books. Blinded, it relied on scent to hunt down it pray. I’ve drawn it a bit more ambiguous that in the book and perhaps too humanoid. @theredwall @theredwallrecorder @theredwallcookbook @theredwalloutlet @mossfloweranimation @the-redwaller

Raglan Castle as Kotir

I think it’s pretty perfect... Got a bit of an old moat around it and the opening gate is pretty imposing and ruined but still standing.
