hear this cursed form sing

While they were born to human parents into the body of a girl, Outis is far from human. Haunted by the memories of others they live out in their nightmares, their own sense of identity has greatly deteriorated. It's difficult to recognize the person they see in the mirror as a true reflection of themselves. In their own eyes, they're not even a real person.

Outis normally keeps the parasitic spirit within their gauntlet chained and sealed. Even with his legendary might, his profane power is dwarfed by Outis' own and his hatred kept under lock and chain.

In the moments that his influence does seep through, when Outis' will or consciousness falters, their body deforms into one more in-line with their true nature.

They are a far worse monster, no matter what dignified skin they disguise themself with and their parasitic partner knows it.

Outis got an official reference, just in time for art fight!

Before they became a Doomknight, Outis would often spend their time training and conditioning themselves physically to be able to handle high-power, body strengthening magic.

Lyn would always take the time to intensely observe her most trusted aide's training as well, burning the image into her mind.

For purely professional reasons, of course.

working on a more serious piece but here's some reposts of Outis art in the meantime.

these are some chibis i made alongside one for the 13th Lord of Chaos (which is in her post). I'd love to do more of these eventually for Riastrad and Mumei but they're just soooo much effort to render.

this is a portrait from the very start of the year before i really even knew how to render metal. you can see my taste for shiny, glowy stuff peeking out even then and i still kinda like the piece but it's admittedly far from my best.

Back then, Outis didn't have a name and was a extremely different character personality and character arc-wise. Their lack of a name was the original reason I chose the name Outis.

These were Outis' original designs. While I quite like some of them, they didn't fit the story or role I intended for them to have. -The helm had to be discarded because it was too similar to Sepulchure's despite my efforts to dinstinguish it from him. -The armor on the left was too plain and unremarkable for the sort of 'Dark General'-type of character I was looking for, despite how practical and utilitarian they were supposed to be. -The right ones just didn't have the power in their designs I was looking for and the top-right looked a bit too chunky for sharper, more triangular shape i wanted.

I still quite like the hairstyles and, to an extent, the middle armor. I did eventually end up reusing the top-left hair for The hero.

in-story reason for this is Lynn has always loved to dress Outis up in all kinds of pretty clothes when they're alone because Outis would never wear normal clothes otherwise.

I drew this while my tablet was broken so I had to do a lot of the lineart on my phone with no pressure which just about drove me insane. I decided to stop midway and just do it all on csp with my mouse but rendering everything with a mouse was taxing on my sanity and right hand.

this is just a fun lil doodle i had while in a good mood. I'd like to redraw or maybe just refine, line and render it eventually.

this is a lil sprite doodle thing i made drawing over an FE sprite. I'm not a sprite artist so it's pretty eugh lmao.

"Outis"

In the wake of Drakath's destructive return to Lore, the presumed demise of the Hero of Oaklore along and the incapacitation of both faction's leaders, a mysterious Doomknight that appeared seemingly out of nowhere and became known as Empress Gravelyn's right hand.

Despite the various attempts by many of the Shadowscythe's subfactions to dig into their history, little is known about them aside from their notable hatred towards other Doomknights and knowledge of the True Shadowscythe. Many of them have noted an odd feeling of familiarity and reverence towards them.

Going by the moniker 'Outis', they respond only to the empress and seem to completely ignore all other attempts at communication.

They make for a rather intimidating figure, standing at 6'5" and never uttering a single word.

The few that have witnessed Outis when Empress Gravelyn deigned to send them out have remarked on the brutal efficiency with which they approach their missions.

Ruthless and remorseless use of overwhelming power to destroy an enemy as quickly as they could. It wasn't some righteous crusade or offering to their master. It was a job, a very distasteful one to be completely as swiftly and completely as they could. No matter what they had to do, they'd do it and return by their empress' side once again like a crimson gargoyle.
