WOW. I Am Just Gaping In Awe! This Is Absolutely Amazing! And The Level Of Detailit Looks Like A Still

WOW. I am just gaping in awe! This is absolutely amazing! And the level of detail—it looks like a still from an actual animated film!

And the green flame matches his eyes! That's so cool. Was that decision at all a reference to the Malice 66 scene with the lit chandelier?

@liketwoswansinbalance GUESS WHO FINISHED THE GIFT!!!

this took so long but it was so worth it lol

I love these concepts!!!! The chainsaw is a great modern stand-in for his axe, and the trench coat looks so good.

Also, I think he would like cats, seeing as he often acts like one. Personally, I think he’d name them edgy things, like Diaval, Dante, Cain, Lucifer (like the cat in Cinderella), and Mordred. And, oh, let’s say he had one named something like Despair or Sorrow. Then, he’d have the chance to snipe at Rhian with lines like: “Ah, brother, is Despair plaguing you yet again?” while a cat is just clinging to Rhian’s clothes, annoying him. Ooh, or if he had four specifically, he could name them: Famine, War, Death, and Pestilence.

Felt like drawing Rafal with a chainsaw and a cat (I'm not sure if Rafal would even like cats, but I think that he likes birds so let's just pretend that cats are birds./j)

Ok I want a cat now :(

Re: obsession. I think your definition is quite strict and doesn't account for people with multiple obsessions, especially if they have ADHD and can jump from one hyperfixation to another. Not trying to offend, just offering a different perspective as someone with ADHD and multiple obsessions/hyperfixations that fluctuate throughout the day.

Great point! I am not an expert, had not considered your point at the time, and I'm sorry if I offended you. Honestly, I'm not that familiar with ADHD, and was only thinking of the definition from my own (probably narrow) perspective. I should have specified that there could definitely be multiple, rotating obsessions, or hyperfixations, which is a more ADHD-specific term.

Though, I want to point out that in the context of these characters, even if their obsessions (broadly), hyperfixations, or special interests could potentially bring them satisfaction upon completion of their objectives or with repetition and regularity, the word "obsession," when used in a clinical sense, can indicate that said obsession could cause distress and be unhealthy, and the majority of the characters I described in my reblog were Evil, played the role of antagonist/villain, or underwent negative character arcs, and were never very healthy examples to begin with, whichever traits they might've had.

Also, you can correct me regarding anything else, if it comes up. I don't mind, and would like to thank you for phrasing this ask nicely.

Not surprised you figured out the "typical rounds of introductory questions", lol. You're pretty smart.

Lol, thanks, I had an inkling (and I like pattern recognition in general). It started to feel like clockwork after a few days.

This song is very Rafal to me, like an hourglass' sands running out. It reeks of desperation. There's nice, taut tension, the implication his time is almost up. Additionally, the lyrics could reference his cremation, or compare his corpse to a sunken warship, and some parts could be read as Rafal's sudden heel-face turn to Good.

Did Luoto Bakhti's cannibal song remind anyone of the songs in Roald Dahl's books, like the Oompa Loompa ones? Or is that just me?
