Because everyone is reacting to Dark being short, here's something that I did on February 28th.

Hollow Heads and their Posture plus Character Analogy [An Analysis]

I never posted it here, but I did this intense research thingy where I became obsessed with properly getting the Hollow Head's posture.

This was my last project before I moved from Adobe Photoshop CS6 to Krita. I completely forgot about it, to be honest.

From left to right: Dark, Chosen, Second, victim, and H I added my tall boy H (Hangman) in there too, 'cause why not.

So what were my conclusions?

Second is the tallest one. His legs are longer and he's more slouched than the rest of them. He notably has a wide leg stance, but his shoulders are the most relaxed. Having a weak stance like this implies that he's mostly in a peaceful or at least safest environment compared to the rest of them.

Chosen has the most tensed posture. His arms look as if he's always ready to block any attack, and his legs look as if he's always ready to run at anytime. What does this mean? He's never relaxed. There's always this fear at the back of his mind, that someone is out there to get him.

victim is the most fragile out of all of them. He moves as if he has this plan in his mind that he's replaying over and over again, like anticipating every variable. His stance is very narrow, with his limbs barely leaving his main body. Not a fighter at all. He knows he's weak so he makes up for it with the smarts and resourcefulness.

Dark is the most confident. His legs look as if he has strong stance, yet his arms look very relaxed. He knows he's strong and isn't afraid of what his opponent might do. The way his head moves while in combat, imply that he's also very observant, and can likely anticipate the moves of his opponent. And yes, he's the shortest one (because victim is slightly slouched while Dark is standing straight).

H is mostly an OC at this point. He evolved so much that you can't even recognize that he's the Hangman.

Main inspiration came from:

Second - AvPhysics Also had some help with Nova on getting the head just right.

victim - The Box

Chosen - Wanted

Dark - Showdown I drew Dark's head thinner, unlike the Showdown which has thicker strokes. Although someone pointed out that I should've used the King Orange vs. The Dark Lord - An Actual Short as reference for the body.

The heads were manually redrawn and was not traced at all. The reason for this was I had to make them the same thickness.

Vic: The joy of hanging out with my siblings. You look away for 5 seconds to make sure something is set up correctly, and someone bites the tip of a marker off. Either that or they end up in life-or-death situations

Yooooo! That was so good!

Pretender [Part 3]

Part 2

Art by @lanxagethefossil.

The Chosen One inspects the new items on the table. On his left is a hydrangea flower. In front of him was a viraband, and on the right is a torn up canvas.

Just like before, the one on his right was an image of him. The Angel of Death was what they called him in the news.

With warm wings that burn whatever it touches, a halo adorns a righteous head. Nothing can stand against angels, for whatever they decide to do are the right thing. Do you think angels weep for lost futures?

It was surreal to see news about yourself. To see what you look like to other people.

"I never understood what it all meant."

One always cower upon the witness of true power. Struggle as they might, the weak ones are still weak. Survivors of the flames still need to nurture and heal those burnt wounds, but the reflections will always remind them that they're not who they used to be anymore.

He did not say a word in response.

The hydrangea, what colour is it?

Like before, the one on the left is something he didn't want to look at.

"Probably blue… or red."

Look at it. Tell me what kind of blue.

"It has been plucked from the ground. It shall wither soon, so pale blue."

In certain fiction, it was often portrayed that hydrangeas will bloom red if there's a body buried under it.

The Director gently picks up the flower in front of him.

That is incorrect. Depending on the stage of decomposition, the earth would eventually gain lower levels of acidity.

The Chosen One watched as the flower bloomed into a beautiful fairy blue on the Director's hand.

You would gain a shade of blue and purple.

He felt entranced by the constant colours shifts. It reminded him of the sky that kisses the neverending horizon of the sea. He dreamt of soaring under it. A real sky, unlike those never-changing wallpapers that once adorned his prison. A place so high where no shackles can ever bind him down.

Blue is the colour of death. Or so "we" believe.

You know what else makes a hydrangea blue?

The Director gestures to the middle of the table.

The presence of aluminum.

The final item. He looks down at a memento of his friend. And like the previous items before, he didn't touch it either.

He had so many ideas… so many plans… And he used to look forward to them.

"What is the point of these items?"

You tell me. You were the one who picked them.

"I don't understand."

Because you don't look.

". . . It feels like I lost something important, but I am not sure what."

Then atleast tell me what comes into your mind right now. What is the first thing you want to see?

The light flickers one more time, and in front of him was not the Director anymore.

"Why does it have to be you!?"

Part 4

The poll still isn't done yet, but there are people who voted so- here ya go.

Features The Chosen One and ALL's Director.

Co-written with @lanxagethefossil. I write the parts, Lanxage makes the art in return. Think of it as a continuous art trade. It initially started as a teaser/meme but Lanxage made art for it, so yeah.

Pretender [Part 1]

Choose your fate.

The Chosen One looks down at the desk. The only light bulb barely illuminating the cards on top. Three cards, three options. The Director wants him to play a game.

Don't pick anything and I will let the voices decide. You hear them don't you? Justice calls for ashen blood, and there's only so much protection that this Box can provide.

The light flickers and a chair appears. The Director walks towards it.

We can only hold them for long, so why not give the crowd the show they've long to see?

Accepting his fate, The Chosen One gestures to the middle card, and with that signature smile of his, he accepted the challenge. "Let the games begin."

Chosen needs a hug

Command

mission.The_Dark_Lord = destroy(The_Chosen_One) ;

Thus, he enters the code for his latest creation, The Dark Lord.

The Star

To receive the Star in your reading means that you have gone and passed through a terrible life challenge. You have managed to go through this without losing your hope. While you suffered, you perhaps were not aware of your own strength, but you are now perhaps recognizing that the loss helped you discover your own resilience and inner power.
