Description
A thousand years before the first recorded histories of the Mouse Guard, the first age of mice endedΒ through war. A war between Light and DarkThis age had learned sciences and technologies that had been long forgotten after its fall.
One of these sciences enabled immortality through binding one's life force with a weapon. Morticus, the Dark King, was imprisoned deep within the earth by the Light. Being bound to his sword, the light connected him to it with weak chains.
Morticus could break the chains at any time to free himself, but in doing so would destroy his sword, and therefore himself.
So he waited. for a thousand years after all traces of his age had crumbled to dust, he waited. Bound do his blade until some force freed him. Waited for his chance to bring about the return of his Dark Kingdom.

I go to churches with amazing architecture, I retexture the world in my mind, and play video games and watch movies to gain artistic inspiration

The shading on this is rather spectacular. I need to learn to shade.

I'm really new to it. all I did was use some good pencils and push down hard for deep color, and light for shallow color

Morticus: I have waited to the beginning of a new age.
I have not felt the wash of drink, nor the warmth of bread.
My chains coil my metal soul.
My mind begs for insanity, but I shall not let it crumble as my empire has.
I am stronger than others,
Smarter than others,
Wiser than others.
And when I am freed, I will not fall again.
