Dark Lament - [ FFXIV Reward ] (Patreon)

What if the WoL decided to ditch Hydaelyn and hitch a ride with Zodiark instead?

That's the concept I wanted to explore with this Mystery Box, which - not gonna lie - was a lot easier in my head than it turned out to be - partly because of the design of the horns (for which I had to craft a special device which you can behold in the thumbnails) and partly because I couldn't figure out what color scheme to land on, as Zodiark doesn't really have a defined palette that would make it obvious on sight.

In fact, I initially started on indigo lane, just to shift dramatically to volcanic red. Then after some pondering I used the age old trick of smashing both layers together at 50% opacity and letting Bob Ross take the wheel. 

And I don't know about you, but I think it works? You can see the other versions in the thumbnails and let me know what you think!

This reward was a "Mystery Box" - a type of reward where you give me a character but I get to decide how I draw everything. You can purchase these with points through my patreon reward portal StarStickers! If you're a patron make sure you sign up, and if you're not... well *uncanny eyebrow waggle*
