Human! War. One of the few finished, fully shaded pieces I’ve made this year.
As of now my hc is that War have always looked the way he does, but I’m considering making this more human design (initially just for human au) his actual appearance pre-Horsemen. So, this is either before he met the rest or sometime in his early days on the job.
Extra notes, another shot and the references below the cut. Please don’t repost, reblogs and likes r both appreciated.
Prosthetic circa 1920s, I believe. The drawing is probably around the 1930’s or late 1920s.
Death and Famine found War after WWI, scarred both physically and mentally. Being a nephilim had saved him from the injuries he suffered being fatal, but his survival cost him and arm and a leg, once again both figuratively and literally. Initially reluctant to join the two, he changed his mind when he realized the role of a Horseman would give him the power, purpose and reputation he had always wanted.
And yes I used a NGE screencap as a reference. Probably not the best idea but whatever.
i hope i don’t seem like a prude especially bc it hasn’t happened very much but it’s so weird to me how some people in the past have felt the need to reply to my art with sexual comments (or comments that border on that)
if you know me on any personal level you know i’m not opposed to talking or joking about nsfw stuff, but my art has always been safe for work. and also, all of my work that has gotten these sorts of replies has been fanart for kids’ series?? it’s... strange.
i guess it kinda bothers me because it’s never ever my intention. i know that once you put something out there its meaning can change as people will have their own perceptions of it but idk
