Artist's commentary
[HDN] Bloodstained
I tried going for a less cartoony style this time with the felt pens.
Inspired from this quote: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBh4pP…
"...this is what it looks like when you've actually fought in battle. It's not glorious, it's not beautiful, it's not even heroic! It's merely doing what's right--and doing it again and again. Even if someday, you look like this."
Also, that recent Nisa fic by Blade of Justice. www.fanfiction.net/s/10511938/… Go read it.
[EDIT] Changed the background color to get a different mood for the illustration. I like it better than the previous yellow color. :)
