Description
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!You know I had to go through quite a few finished versions of this before I settled on what this currently is.
So here it is ladies and gentlemen, my absolute MASTERPIECE!!!
-Lore-
Yahar'gul, the unseen village, was a village built in secrecy for the School of Mensis- a branching institution from Byrgenwarth and possibly the Healing church- their purpose was to find ways to elevate humanity past their mortal stupidity, and to find enlightenment by "becoming one" with each other. How little they knew their failure would result at a great cost. The school of Mensis, secret as they are, are being watched and monitored by the Choir. Clearly, there's some rivalry and bad blood between them, seeing as we can find the corpse of a Choir member trapped in a cell of Yahar'gul.
The Hunters of Yahar'gul are hunters in name only, albeit their training is just as fearsome as any skilled hunter. These kidnappers would sneak out into the night, their black garb cloaking them in the darkness, the thick binding of rope around their garb doubles to fashion heavy armor protection, or be used to ensnare their prey. These hunters are synonymous with fear, and Death. Their only purpose is to go out and kidnap the people of Yharnam, so they may be brought to the school of Mensis. However, you really have to ask yourself, why do these hunters kidnap? Is because they are devoted to the ascension of mankind? Are they simply loyal soldiers following orders? Or are these hunters of the night fooled to believe that their kidnapping is meant to bring people into safety, after all, the night is filled with defiled scum, and no one is safe from the beasts. Perhaps these hunters believe they are heroes, saving people from obvious death.
For whatever reason, these hunters are not to be underestimated at any point, and are all fearsome warriors, unmerciful, adept and they are never alone. Using all forms of hunter techniques, these masters of the night have a fearsome history as warriors, and an even more terrifying reputation as Death's hands. Some even say these warriors are descendants of the feared Dark Wraiths, that plagued the ancient land long ago...
So this took me a month to complete, excluding vacation time, and a total of twenty or so hours to complete this peace. So please, I will be heavily thankful if you critique and comment this peace. As my first Bloodborne art, I wanted this to pay tribute to my favorite NPC's, and I wanted it to be more of an abstract piece, with the main focus of the piece not physically being there in the setting.
And to all my Bloodborne fans, please tell me what you think of this and of Yahar'gul for that matter. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this underestimated village. Thank you all for viewing, and hope to see you all soon. Take care out there, we'd hate to see you go Blood Drunk.
Also for those wondering about the guy with the glasses, that's Defector Antal. I drew him helmetless because he's a defector, and he wouldn't stand out with the helm on.

Love the Amygdala, and your style looks perfect for the rest of the more monstrous Bloodborne bosses/enemies

I'm talking about the way everything is laid out. Like, how you arranged the subjects. For example, how you drew the characters inside the cloak.

Rexlare In reply to ItsWolven [2016-07-31 04:53:33 +0000 UTC]
Aw yes, that I felt was clever of me ^^
I wanted the picture to have less of a physical sense of subjects, and more being abstract or symbolic. So I felt having the hunters within an ethereal cloak would show off the history and legend of Yahar'gul's fearsome hunters. While on the outside of the cloaks wearer we see Yahar'gul and the world around it.

I remember...
I think this is your best piece so far (or at least, in my opinion). Really like the moon's red light touching the buildings, including the large hunter and Amygdala. It shows you're really adding in a lot of detail (the same applies to the little flowers... Lots of detail...)

And how bout that moonlight sword?

The Moonlight Sword came out really well. It definitely looks like a lot of time and effort went into the sword, especially looking back at your practice sheet for the sword's cyan glow effect, it looks like the practice helped you pull it off

It did greatly. Thank for his sage advice of using a separate sheet for practice.

"For anything the Emmisary of Death kills, he picks a bone from his victim's corpse and adds it to his collection. The very collection that is displayed fearlessly on his armor..."

That right there is perfect. There should totally be a set of armor with that discription.
The only thing I don't like about the armor, is that is is king of short and has no extensions that go down to the legs like a coat or samurai armor. But hey, this is Dark Souls, and I can fix that with the sunless leggings, Cornyx's skirt or Lothric leggings.

It would have looked a lot better with some sort of an extension. Make it look like a grim reaper

Yeah, or like the aforementioned Samurai skirt armor. But it looks badass on Atlas.

I've been doing that since Bloodborne.
Honestly, I think Dark Souls 3 would do it without flaw... if it had a helmet more closer to a Samurai helmet... hopefully the upcoming 2 DLC's don't fail me.

Yeaaaaah, that sword gets all the attention. Can't blame it, in game it's prized by all hunters, even those who don't favor strength.
