For a long time, I wanted to move away from the cartoonish, stylized characters and toward something darker and more complex, in the aesthetic of the Souls games. I kept this concept in my saves for a long time, glancing at it periodically, hesitant to take it on. The hardsurface on his armor was a real challenge for me, and by the end, I felt like a burnt-out candle myself, but I finally got it done, hurray!
