Woo hoo after a couple months of work, here we have definitely one of most complex pieces of art I've ever done.
Clearsight navigates the dark paths of the past and the future, with stubborn and fierce determination in her heart. Tugging on her are the threads of fate - some brighter, leading to happy futures, and some darker, leading to bleak futures. Behind Clearsight are the cogs of time, and the darkness. Before her lies the path of light. The pocketwatch with the hourglass symbolizes her trek through time, and the ability to change what has already fallen as evil (the white grains of sand) to good once again (the black sand).
There's a ton of symbolism in here, which I really enjoyed adding (because symbolism, heck yeah, is my favorite thing ever to add to art or writing).
This artwork was commissioned by my friend ArbitraryRenaissance , as a cover for his Wings of Fire fanfiction, Brighter Paths!
www.fanfiction.net/s/13271257/…
Pretty much all of the symbolism is his idea and connects right into his story.
I'd definitely suggest checking it out if you liked Darkstalker Legends and were sad about how Darkstalker and Clearsight's relationship ended. And especially if you thought Darkstalker acted a bit stupid in some cases despite the fact that he was described as "smart" X'D And if you thought Clearsight didn't quite really do everything she could have to bring about a happy future. Here's the summary below:
"Darkstalker believes that Clearsight deserves the future that she wants, just as much as he deserves the future that he wants. That's why he decides to gift her an animus-touched object (a pocketwatch) that gives her the power to change the past. Where will the future take her if she got the opportunity to redo things? Can she find the brightest path? Or is she doomed to a fate of darkness?"

Pocket watches like the ones in this picture were invented in the 16th century within the frame of humanity. I personally consider anything pre-industrial to be up for consideration with regards to whether or not it exists in Wings of Fire.

Aww thank you Kenya :'D The talons were def a bit challenging since there was no real ground to put them on, just kinda a light path haha.

So nice! She looks so focused and troubled, just as she is in Darkstalker as she goes through all of the possible futures in her mind. Your friend's fanfiction also seems like an interesting concept. I think Darkstalker and Clearsight failed each other (though I consider Clearsight to be much less culpable than he is), so the idea that she can go back and change things is appealing. I probably won't read it at this time because I haven't finished Arc 2 yet despite having read Legends: Darkstalker, but at any rate I'm sure this will be wonderful publicity for it.

ArbitraryRenaissance In reply to Wolfalisk [2019-09-04 19:50:25 +0000 UTC]
Since my fanfiction takes place entirely in Darkstalker's time, none of what happens in Arc 2 is actually relevant! I'd highly suggest reading Arc 2 first because you'll probably find it more entertaining than my story (if only because mine isn't complete yet), but if you're eager to give Brighter Paths a read, then you can go on ahead and do it right now.

Understood! If I read it I'll be sure to leave feedback. I'm very interested in the topic.

Biohazardia In reply to Wolfalisk [2019-09-04 02:42:45 +0000 UTC]
Aww thank you Zerg!!! Yeah I would agree, I do think Dark and Clear both kind of failed each other (Him for being too set in his ways, her for pretty much only seeing the bad in him) - though I do agree Clearsight's failings were much less.
I think you only need to read Darkstalker Legends to understand the fanfiction, but quite a bit of Darkstalker-related things happen in Arc 2 so it might be safe to wait. :0
