I'LL BE GLAD I'M GONE
I'm starting a new genre, and it's called Pics of Dai Hei Tearing His Life Out of Motu's Mouth by Force.
I always find myself making time for the break in the middle of War , where Wolfgun repeatedly delivers “I'll be glad I'm gone” as if a furious mantra, while the vocals gradually decay... I've had the sketch for this sitting on my drive since 2018, and I kept coming back to look at it longingly whenever I listened in. Finally finished it. Not everything I wanted, but, it's done.
It feels like it's been 9 years since I talked about Hei last, hahaha... he's sort of like a disgraced general who was previously the right hand of a demagogue / demigod, and who refused to be made a weapon of war by the god at great personal cost.
