no regrets (except using alcohol markers to color tiny drawings)

btw Yelena is my hc for Alexander’s wife. tall queen

characters from left to right:

Temaku, head Alchemist of the Dark World/Zerzura, torturing expert, Empress’ confidant (horny ass)

Kita, Temaku’s apprentice, révolutionnaire that destroyed the Dark World/Zerzura (emo twink)

Atharu, Temaku’s assistant (tired of horny ass Temaku’s crap)

Empress Tihana Last and Eternal, the ruler of Empire (Ur-Naya dynasty). Amnesia Rebirth game’s main antagonist (infertile ass)

Yelena, Enkindled Fortress’ citizen moved to Empire with her outlaw husband. Disgraced aristocrat_te. (majestic)

Ayandra the Apostate aka Alexander of Brennenburg, runaway Alchemist from Enkindled Fortress then banished to Earth dimension. the inventor of the amnesia potion.

idk if it was too much explaining who is who I just hold these blue guys in my head constantly and they don’t even exist in fandom because canonically they’re basically just NAMES FROM THE GAME NOTES.

Something I really love about Amnesia is how all the games have echoes of each other in them. It's almost the same story being played out over and over, the universe of Amnesia is quite a tragic one and while not ACTUAL loops, there are cycles that repeat that people can't seem to avoid.

When I first played Rebirth I really enjoyed learning more about Alexander's past and his time with Temaku. Alexander shows up as Ayandra in Tihana's city begging sanctuary and is taken under wing by Temaku and the two become incredibly close through their workings of finding better ways to gather vitae. Ayandra proves his worth by being the first to suggest the amnesia concontion which is what TRULY impresses Temaku on Ayandra's brilliance. I assumed when playing, although I'm not sure if it's comfirmed, that Temaku was the love that Alexander refers to in the first game. His entire goal in the first game is to go back to his love after being banished.

I wonder if Alexander sees any of his younger self in Daniel - also a young man come to a strange new place begging sanctuary and then made to partake in the vitae rituals. Daniel, while not as alchemically gifted as Alexander, definitely proves himself as a worthy apprentice and the two also grow very close during their work, to the point Alexander considers Daniel a true friend and feels genuine regret that he must leave him behind when the portal is ready, doing unto him as Alexander says Weyer did to HIM, and also in a way what his homeworld did to him. Alexander has become the evil he seeks justice for and leaves a person forlorn and broken as one done to him thousands of years ago.

I just think there are a lot of interesting parallels between thess two relationships as well as some very interesting themes regarding loss, corruption, and betrayal (obvs the Daniel and Alexander betrayal but also with how much Tihana seemed to listen to Temaku - how much of Alexander's banishment was perhaps also agreed on by the love he is trying to return to? We are never told the exact crimes he is banished for other than being 'the apostate' after all. With how fiercely loyal Temaku is to the Empress I don't think it unlikely that he may have had his hand forced when it came to passing judgement on his friend 🥲)

I also just think its really funny that from a shipping angle Alexander's type is 'freaky little nerds who get WAAAAAY too into torture' 💀

a friend of mine requested a sketch where Atharu (i wrote her name th ewrong wayyy in the comic sorry) - one of Temaku's proxies, is kinds pissed off by his clownish behaviour and shitty jokes so she "accidentally" drops a pile of noting tablets on him. and then kicks Kita's ass. because he's in the way too.

yup. girlie is kinda tired of these chaotically stupid alien twinks fooling around.

slight nsfw jokes & swearing warning.

y-yeah darkworld alchemists content

[shenji-yei-v2]

not drawing a lot recently, surviving my diploma year and depression, but amnesia is somehow imprinted on my mind. thinking about Zerzurians a lot. mostly having Temaku brainrot and spending nights at recreating him in Picrews lol.

Yeah I have other hcs about how other otherworldly characters look like but it’s somewhat relaxing especially with Temaku.

Also collected some my art w him. Yeah basically I’m Temaku worshipper… one day I’ll make proper reference sheets with all the otherworldians… don’t know for what purpose. Just for fun I guess.

Forgor how to use gouache, panicked, put on glitter, panicked again, put on shiny acrylic paint, realized it’s too much.
