Description

The trio watching the television.

This is the epilogue to my EATEOT illustrated series where I give statistics and its aftermath and how it affects me as a creator as well as my three characters. Let's start with the statistics

Production time:
Stage 1 - 1 month
Stage 2 - 1 week
Stage 3 - 2.5 weeks
Stage 4 - 3 days
Stage 5 - 5 days
Stage 6 - 2 days
Total production time: 2 months and a week

Amount of drawings:
Stage 1 - 12 drawings
Stage 2 - 10 drawings
Stage 3 - 16 drawings
Stage 4 - 16 drawings
Stage 5 - 13 drawings
Stage 6 - 15 drawings
Everywhere at the End of Time takes 82 drawings to illustrate.

Screentime:
Traves - 45 drawings
Evelyn - 55 drawings
Simon - 65 drawings
The creature - 22 drawings

My ranking (1 for best, 6 for worst) and why:
#1. Stage 2 - It contains Misplaced in time(C2), my favorite EATEOT track of all time. It is also the album that I can listen to all in one sitting.
#2. Stage 1 - Slightly bewildered(A5) knocked this down to second place. It is the track that prevents me from enjoying this album in one sitting.
#3. Stage 5 - I initially hated its intro, but I ended up enjoying this album for how chaotic it is. It encapsulates so many strong emotions, like the first Advanced plaque entanglements(K1).
#4. Stage 4 - The hell siren in the second Post Awareness Confusions(H1) kicked this below Stage 5. Plus it's just weaker in comparison, there's less dynamics.
#5. Stage 6 - There are moments of intrusive noises, and A confusion so thick you forget forgetting(O1) is just something I wouldn't wanna listen to again.
#6. Stage 3 - This contains too many hypnotizing tracks that just disorientate all of my senses, like Sublime beyond loss(E6) and Internal bewildered World(F3).

Comments from the characters - What do you think of the experience and how does it change your life?

Traves: Well, it was nice being close to Evelyn and Simon. They're pretty good battlemates.
I do wonder why the creature liked tailing me so much. Is it because I was inside Simon's Curse Siegel for around 2 years? Perhaps it also got out when I was released. Which explains why it may find me familiar.
That thing electrocuted me to the limit. I'm suspecting I got that in my arsenal now;
I can properly surge without needing an opening.

Evelyn: I didn't enjoy the time when I had to repeat my Cursed trial. I knew I could handle it, but it's a trial for a reason.
...It was trippy at the end. Everything was happening at once and I couldn't grasp any of it.
That creature? It was cheating. How could I win against a hurricane of large debris?
No matter. When it stabbed me, I learned how to use my trees to channel away lightning.

Simon: It was, um... rough.
At the beginning, my mind wasn't really there. I only started getting in focus when the creature got violent. That thing is... unstoppable, it is dangerous, it destroys worlds,
...it makes you forget.
I... would've never thought that that thing came from me. Enclosed here in my arm. Does it represent my anger? My rage?
...My agony? Is that why I'm able to goof off again like I used to?
Losing friends left and right it wasn't pretty at all... I even surprised myself back there when I stood back up again...
But hey, at least I got a cool souvenir: I got a grinning hand now.
I'm still figuring out how I can tame this thing. It's still as wild as my friends last saw it. But this thing, it's mine now. And it will be under my control.

...Me? What do I think?
I went through the trouble of illustrating every stage, I got all of them at the back of my head now and, the experience is no longer scary since I conquered it.
I learned a plenty from this, I learned how music can affect an artist at work; I learned how a musical album can tell a fully fleshed out story; I learned how music looks like something and how art has its own sounds.
One way how it changed my life is that I now comprehend dementia as the moment when the world ends. Literally. Everything taken away from you. Gone.
The Caretaker is quite a genius with this project, he was able to depict a quickly fading away reality, into music form.
Memory is a fragile thing. I guess to combat the possibly inevitable I'll just spend some of my time being entertaining to those around me. Unlike Simon, I'm not scared of being forgotten. I just find it to be a shame for someone to not have an inspiration. I can volunteer to be that inspiration. And from me, people can decide to do great things. To me, memory is about the things you've done, even if you yourself forget about it.

And yeah. That's about it for Everywhere at the End of Time illustrated series. I could be making one more work, but we'll see.
Thank you once more for following me on this experience. I appreciate it.

Directly inspired by the missing Stage 1 track, Quiet internal rebellions, by the Caretaker.
Traves, Evelyn and Simon developed lovingly by Nek0Nerd0.
