So really this whole piece started with me burning myself out brainstorming drawing ideas, and this sudden magical "what if" story idea for this boy, Samikai, the wonderful dog/rabbit/demon hybrid, and his step brother, one of my OC's, Shinyuu, the shy over-cautious angel boy, in a mock dark souls setting. Completing the game several times myself I know just how much that game loves to bone you over. secret doors opening to hidden enemies that just decimate you from the beginning *cough* Havel *cough* and many many others. Especially the whole sewer path getting to blighttown. What a trip that was in itself.I made the, at the time, mocking remark about how Sam would march ahead all " I got this," Only to be eaten by a slime, or other common ( probably low level) dungeon beast, as a jest towards the character's owner more often than not getting herself into trouble in the Co-op games we play, when suddenly I had the idea to use that as a drawing idea.So here it is. Another hard-lighting and overlay study, turned into a full project by a simple back and forth, with sad character.This took me a good couple of days to get it how I properly wanted it, and honestly I am quite surprised how well it turned out, in my opinion. A really, really fun study, and a fun topic to boot.This is why I love just having random chatter with people. Sometimes the best material comes from joking around.I hope everyone is able to enjoy this piece!((Oops~... because it was so late last night and I was falling asleep while posting this, I forgot to link the character's owner, my bad lol. So the friend in question I had this " what if" conversation with, and owner of Samikai, is www.deviantart.com/corvidame Give her a look!)
