So...I have no good excuse for this bullshit. This is just some dumbass idea that I've been trying to draw for, like, a month now. It was funnier in my head, I guess.
Anyway, after figuring out how I like to draw my version of Cain, I started thinking more about the design elements I chose. Specifically the whole shepherd and literal black sheep angle. Something-something - Abel being Cain's shepherd to redemption - something something. I'm sure this is just stupid.
This whole thing started with the colored drawing (which I also...kinda redid, like, 3 times and I'm still not entirely sure I like it...) and then I had the dumber idea of Abel realizing he can get whatever he wants from Cain by guilt-tripping him. Again, it's funnier in my head. Like, 'Did you just forget you killed me? Pretty sure that means you owe me.' Also, I don't like bratty characters for the most part, but Abel being a brat towards Cain specifically brings me joy. To literally everyone else, he can be a sweet, empty-headed angel baby, but with his brother, I need him to be a little menace. It's just funny to me. I dunno.
In other news, I could also say this is kind've a birthday gift to myself (belated, of course. My birthday was March 12th). I've been having a rough go of it lately and this idea made me smile.
