Raziel revisits the subterranean Pillars grotto after having been propelled over a century into Nosgoth’s ghastly future. He is shocked to discover how the Elder God has encroached into the chamber - its tentacles wind chokingly around the shattered Pillars, and the room’s murals have been nearly obliterated by the passage of its
grasping limbs.
The Elder God greets Raziel disdainfully -
Elder God:
Raziel, the failed assassin.
You had Kain at your mercy but lacked the courage to fulfill the act.
And now you see the wasteland wrought by the tyrant’s hand. By
his selfish decision to preserve his own life, even when it meant
sacrificing the whole world.
This is the fate of Nosgoth, as long as Kain remains alive.
Raziel:
An ironic condemnation, given this guilty scene.
One would think you’d torn down the Pillars single-handedly.
What are you trying to obliterate as you drag your loathsome body through this chamber?
And why, as Nosgoth descends into madness and misery, do you appear to thrive? Things in this world, I am learning, are rarely what they seem.
You, apparently, are no exception.
Elder God:(angrily)
I am the Engine of Life, the source of Nosgoth’s very existence.
I am the hub of the Wheel, the origin of all Life, the devourer of Death.
Raziel:
… or maybe you’re just hungry - could it be as simple as that?
Wouldn’t that be poetic irony? The great adversary of the vampires turns out to be the biggest parasite of them all.
Elder God:
Do not test my patience, Raziel.
I made you, and I will unmake you if I become so inclined.
Raziel: (mocking)
As your agent, I am beyond death.
Elder God:
There are fates worse than death, Raziel.
Raziel responds with disgust -
Raziel:
Oh, I see you now as you truly are.
A cancer - a spooling parasite burrowed deep in the heart of this world.
Elder God:(ominously)
Go now.
Play out your pitiful rebellion, and take your place among the destroyed, the used and the damned.
But know this - you are mine for eternity.
You have always been, and will always be, my soul reaver…
Some good advice I recently received is, “Draw what you want to see”.
I wanted to see Kain in a loose braid. My favorite part of Legacy of Kain: Defiance was the graphics for Kains hair, it looked so thick and luscious I wanted to bury my hands in it.
I’m really happy with my little darling Kain. He may be an 1000 year old vampire/demon king, but he’s still my sweet bouby!
And for the first time in my life I like both the lineart and the colour, so I’m posting both.
Say hello to our newly named twins. Once we discovered Sobe’s infants
were a boy and a girl, we were able to start our name search. The
results are in! Sobe’s boy is now known as Zonker and the girl is now
named Blue. Both infants are following our traditional beer theme for
ring-tailed lemur names as well as representing their personalities.
Zonker is very outgoing and loves to explore, while Blue is calm and
reserved, preferring to cuddle with mom.
It’s called Krita. Maybe you’ve heard of it, but in case you haven’t, seriously, check it out! It’s really nice!
The best way I can describe this program is that it’s a combination of Easy Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop. And the best part is the program is completely free to download from their website. I think what I like most about it is that not only does it have a Stablizer like SAI does, but it has practically all the tools I ever use from Photoshop. Not saying it’s going to replace SAI or PS for me (at least not yet; I’m still learning my way around Krita lol), but it’s probably the only thing I’ve ever found that is coming close to doing it.
