Finished redrawing one old illustration (the sketch of which had been first shared on Patreon almost 3 years ago, lol...)

The meme comparing two versions is here, if you're curious: www.deviantart.com/amaryllex/a…

This work features my OCs Zven, Agnieszka and Athelstan, and it relates to the episode of MLS in which Agnieszka sees a nightmare that she takes as a prophetic dream showing the destinies of Athelstan and her.

Describing it in short, once she dreams that she and her fiancé are in the epicenter of some kind of disaster. They hold each other's hands hard to avoid being separated, trying to leave that place together, but soon a terrifying figure of the Reaper appears on their way.
The flames of hell blaze behind his back. Everything around becomes shrouded in thick black smoke. The Reaper holds out his hand to Athelstan in an inviting gesture. Wanting to run away, Agnieszka pulls him along, but he doesn't move. As if hypnotized, he looks at the bony hand with an indifferent expression, paying no attention to the girl. With horror, she realizes that he's accepting the Reaper's invitation.
It becomes hot around awfully quickly. Agnieszka tries to wake Athelstan up, she begs him to run away with her, but someone from behind grabs her hand. She turns around and sees a German officer surrounded by clouds of poisonous greenish smoke. Painfully squezzing her hand, the officer begins pulling her along with force. She resists, screaming, keeping holding her fiancé who doesn't hear her, as he's already taken a step towards the flames.
His hand seems unbearably hot, and Agnieszka feels like her own hand is begining to melt. With the last of her strength standing the pain, crying, she tries not to let go of her man, but the Reaper takes a swing with his scythe at her. With a scream, she lets Athelstan go.
As they move away from each other, she sees his figure start burning, until the greenish smoke envelops her.
She doesn't see anything around anymore, except the thick suffocating smoke. Agnieszka starts feeling spasms in her lungs. Couching, gasping for air, she realizes she can't breathe. Feeling that she's thrown into a some kind of a room, she falls to the cold floor and doesn't manage to get up as she's too weak. She starts losing consciousness. The last thought that her mind manages to cling to /before she wakes up/ is that she's cold and lonely.

I have reasons to hesitate that this scene it's going to stay canon, as during the last half a year I've been thinking about removing Athelstan from MLS and giving him his own story /in which his comrade Alexandria would take part as well/. But this isn't going to be decided until I return to working on MLS at full capacity. Currently I'm focused on another project of mine.

Gosh, haven't drawn anything serious with colored pencils for long. However, although I think that this illustration isn't worse than most of my personal favorite works, some other news for today is that I'm likely to stop using colored pencils as the main tool from now, as working with them has become a torture for me, for it requires awfully a lot of time and energy that I don't have enough of anymore.
I feel like starting to experiment with something else, paints and markers, for example, trying to use pencils mostly for detailing and emphasizing. It would be really great to master some new tools letting me do things as nice in a shorter time frame and with less energy loss...
Hope you aren't disappointed with my decision.

Thanks for reading, have a nice day <3

Materials and tools that I used for this piece:
200 g/m2 paper for watercolors
Black and white inks
Pro-markers
Colored pencils
Ink pencils
Paint Tool SAI 2 and Gimp 2.10 for corrections.
