A glaive on duty

Fwww. I eventually finished an art for Nyxweek 2025!

This can be counted as day 6 : sunset or day 7 : free day

Note:

I love the line arts series from last year so much. And they inspired me to make mine from another screenshot.

The composition was not so hard. The hardest part was detailing. Nyx has several shallow wrinkles. Just some touches that made him a handsome grown-up, experienced and badass, but not old. It took me several months to make it right.

Galahdan Way

Day 1

A/N: Going with the Tattoos & Braids for this one. Side note, I’ve been watching Nanatsu no Taizai and finished FarCry 5 a few days ago, so as you might’ve already guessed this is Seven Deadly Sins related!

Words: 484 | Warnings: This might suck, hard.. xD | Characters: Nyx Ulric, Six Ulric

“And what are those?” Nyx asked while securing the left side of his mother’s braid, revealing the black line tattoo running from the high back side of her ear to the back of her neck, seemingly continuing down her spine. His gaze fell down where the outline continued down her arm, reaching just above the letters hugging her forearm like a ring.

“Those are the ‘Marks of Galahd’.” Six answered with a smile. She’d seen him stare at her tattoos with a questioning look on his face. She’d seen him look for similar markings on everyone he’d come across and noticed the spark in his eyes every time he saw them on someone from his home.

“What do they represent; and why do our people alone have them?” Nyx let himself wonder out loud.

“Just like Lucis,” the older glaive begun to explain, switching places with the fourteen-year-old in order to give him his own side braid “Galahd has its own culture. These lines represent each person’s life. The choices they’ve made. Each part of the body represents one of the Seven Deadly Sins as they, themselves, are presented by the Old Books.:

Once she was finished with his braid, Nyx turned to face her as Six showed him the parts of the body she was speaking of.

“Your legs represent Gluttony and Sloth,” she explained, moving from right to left accordingly.

“Your arms are Greed,” she pointed at her left arm, showing him a line circling her wrist “and Envy on the right.”

The glaive made a small pause on that, as if she wanted him to focus on the line running down her arm, stopping just above the words ‘Tragedia Coram Amandum quae’.

The glint in Nyx’s eyes made her continue.

“The chest is Lust,” Six tickled his ribs, making him laugh “Your back is Wrath.”

Nyx stopped to stare at her, eyes wide open.

The woman who took him in when he had nothing left, the woman who’d given him a home, a life, everything he’d come to know and be. How could Wrath consume so much of her?

And then he got just how much more it was. For her, it wasn’t just the cosmetic line on her spine that symbolized the sin. It was the scars! Every single battle scar that marked her back.

He wasn’t going to push on the matter though, he knew his mother wasn’t the talking type when it came down to her past.

“So that means the head is Pride!” he finally said, raising his chin up at the word.

“Yes.” She smiled.

Nyx moved some of her long, raven hair behind her ear, looking at the black thin line he so adored. It reminded him of how proud his mother was, but at the same time how modest.

“So,” he started and Six knew what was coming “When am I gonna get mine?”

Beyond the Sunrise

Nyx week 2024 day 5 : Magic/Healing 

Also Glaiveweek 2023 day 1 : hurt/comfort

Warning : Graphic depiction of violence, Major character death

Note: Nyxweek 2024 ended about 1 month ago. This is a belated work due to my tight schedule, but I need to finish this short story with two-page comic. Drawing Nyx is always challenging but enjoyable.

Insomnia : The day after Niffelheim's attack

The evacuation from central Insomnia started shortly before dusk, and it deemed accomplished a few hours before dawn.

Most of Niffelhelm's troops pulled back from Crown City before midnight, only General Glauca and some daemons remained fighting with the Old Walls and a Lucian glaive. When the fight was over, the city turned awfully silent. The Nifflhelm's General lain still. His breastplate was covered in blood. His mask was partially broken, so the face of Titus Darutos was exposed in sunlight. His eyes were fully closed and would never open again.

A few meters away, Nyx Ulric, the general's opponent, was leaning against debris. Though he was still alive but he did not look much better than his ex-commander. His skin turned ash gray from Kings of Lucis' fire. They had allowed him to use their power then their fire would burn him to death, as they had agreed.

Nyx sighed. Darutos had been nearly invincible. He should thank Kings of Lucis for being kind enought to give him some extra time. Now his mission accomplished, he did not only revenge Crowe and King Regis, but also save Lady Lunafreya and the the Kingdom's hope. "Not the worst way to go." He whispered to himself and looked up to the sky with a smirk, choosing the beautiful scenery as the last thing he would see. 

But a nearby footstep distracted him from his thought. Nyx did not bother turning to see. Whoever came, Nifl or not, it did not matter at all because he was about to pass now. But when he heard a female voice calling his name, he could not help turning to face the source of the sound.  

So it made him really startle to witness Lady Lunafreya Nox Ferret rushing toward him.

"I found you! Thank goodness." She said with a smile of relief.

"Why are you here?" He was not sure that was really her or just an illusion, but he still asked. 

"To save your life." Lunafreya answered softly. She sat beside him and started healing him. Her fingers glided over his chest, golden aura glowed between her fingers. And it greatly relieved his pain.

"No, stop it, please, stop." He refused. "This is not what you can heal. Darutos couldn't harm me this badly." He paused, collecting more strenght to continue. "I made a contract with the Kings. They made me a nightlong superhero and in the end they'll take my life."

"They will." Lunafreya nodded. "The price must be paid, the Oracle saw it. But her vision showed some more details that caused her to head back." She looked straight into his blue eyes. "Considering all danger and risks awaited, The Kings of Yore agreed, upon the Oracle's appeal, to give the hero another twenty days to finish a mission for their sake, escorting the Oracle and the ring to Tenebrae's border. But they can only temporarily halt the ongoing process so she must undo what had already occurred herself."

Nyx's eyes widened. Lunafreya's magic shone aggressively as she spoke. "Please consider my healing as my plea to you, Nyx. I need your help, one last time."  

Nyx was blinded by extremely bright aura for a moment. But when he regained his vision, all the wounds were healed. He saw Lunafreya with sweat all over her face. She looked extremely exhausted and was about to fall. Nyx wrapped his arms around her, offering his support. She rest her head on his shoulder. 

"Now rest. We have a long way to go." He said softly. 

"Thank you." The Oracle smiled and closed her eyes, passing out in his arms.

"Another contract to sign, huh?" Nyx whispered, smiling at her. "But, you know? If it's about you, I'll help without thinking twice." Lunafreya did not respond. She looked soundly asleep under the shade of him. He looked up to the brighter sky. The sun shone strongly and would make debris too hot to stay soon. 

Nyx stood up, carrying her in his arms. Thanked to her magic, he regained enough strength to do so. He wished he had some more to take her to a shelter. They needed some good rest after a very long day. Then he would collect supplies and start making an escape plan. He had another journey to begin, it sounded tough yet amazing.

My 2022 art summary

I have been very busy for years. My drawing skill still needs much more practicing so I always need a long time to finish each piece. After returning to make arts again in 2018, I ended up having very few pieces each year, unable to make an art summary, until 2021. I'm so glad that, although I could not finish one art every month, but I could finish enough arts to make such summary in 2022. 😅 Now I'm in tumblr and I will share the summary and all full arts.

เป็นคนที่ค่อนข้างมีภาระมาก และฝีมือวาดยังไม่ค่อยจะคงที่ จะวาดแต่ละครั้งใช้เวลาค่อนข้างนานถึงนานมาก ดังนั้นแต่ละปีจึงไม่มีผลงานมากพอจะรวบรวมเป็น art summary กะเค้า แต่ค่อนข้างดีใจที่ในปี 2565 มีผลงานพอครบจะทำบ้างแล้ว 😅 แม้จะไม่สามารถทำงานเสร็จได้ทุกเดือนก็ตาม ในโอกาสเริ่มใช้ tumblr ขอนำงานเก่ามาลงดังนี้ค่ะ
