Oh my God it's finally done

I can't believe I wanted to do one for each volume, the fuck was I thinking!!!

Anyway, it's finally over.

Yay

It's heccin' Mermay!!!

Ngl I like how he turned out. The scales were tedious, but worth it :)

The jacket is from Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete:

Text is one of those characters where I can't decide the outfit so I end up doing both

Also I now recognize the the one on the right was probably just the default + the jacket, buuuut I kinda like interpreting it a bit more literally in that the limb colors are white. This would mean that in WTTW, he absolutely has interchangeable limbs!

Yeah

Finally added someone to the lineup, yayyy. Couldn't decide on the outfit so I drew both (The second is based on Chereshnyahh's art of Text when his game was turning two years old, it was on Twitter, sadly Idk if I can find it)

Also I feel like Billy would appreciate not being the shortest anymore

Alt ver:

A bit surprised to have drawn more but I'm happy with that

Anyway, I thought about how Alex would be once he eventually escapes his realm post-WTTW. He became so jaded from failing as many times as he had. Thus, he'd abandon his original plot - taking over the domain in order to put everyone "back to their roots".

Instead, he ens|aves them. And it works because he isn't playing around anymore. He goes for the prize immediately.

(He is called The Worst One for a very good reason...)

His tyranny doesn't last long, but he does get away whilst wearing a new fit (Idk how he bulked up):

Originally put this together with Hero Forge, where I decided to change the mask color from the HF iteration:

Emil and Billi from the "Detective Emil: Private Eye" pilot :)

Okay, so sometime in the future, this would happen

The idea was that Aldurra would host Denied's code (and model, by extension) within his, due to a new change to his file and stuff. Similar to how Alex steals others' code but better because it's by choice. And speaking of, it would be intended to keep Denied safe from him (yeah uh in the future Something Really Bad Happens). And at any time, Aldurra can "eject" Denied from him.

Also Aldurra gets a major power increase because Denied's made up of like, fifteen counterparts total, so there's that!

Anyway, it wasn't certain what would happen to Denied himself whilst in this state, so the convo in the bottom-left corner happens when it turns out that Denied is still very much conscious. They eventually settle into the situation, meaning that instead of the original point of this change, they got something more, something stronger.

Basically it's more like a temporary merge, than a shield - and it isn't just Aldurra who can separate, but Denied as well. He can leave whenever he wants. But whenever he does, Aldurra is reduced back to his base power, but that's expected.

The more interesting part, however, comes from Aldurra's shapeshifting ability, which he'd long ago abandoned. Since this method bypassed the need for consuming another person to create a disguise, he really can just turn into Denied. Technically, Aldurra's promise was to not use the form/name of the "real Alex" from his copy way back when. It's a whole thing, they discuss it.

In the end, they work it out, as seen above, wherein the form is based on who wants to front/be in control. And when Denied is, his eyes are retained, symbolizing that trust and control. :)

I also considered more visual/physical aspects, like mixing model traits, but I'm not sure about it yet.

Denied's fins would become sharp and solid in Aldurra's form, though.

TL;DR Aldurra is as anti-Alex as you can possibly get, and this is yet another example of it haha...

Idk? Maybe

Got sorta experimental with this fit. Tried a palette that doesn't have blue
