Description OTL I'm sorry this image suffers from a lack of direction..
*Focal Point? Iono whats that? Never heard of it*//shot

Anyway, here's my submission for the Shard event.
This image was finished the same week the event was announced, but due to insecurities and issues with naming Magi's newest form ~grumble grumble~ you get it now.

The giant fellow in the center with the mask is Povegilamon.
While I wasn't too awfully giddy over his design initially, this comment from sure got me thinking, but not for the reasons you may think.

"The ring around his arm is a piece of whats known as the 'judas chair' which was a torture device. [link] the rings were used to restrain the arms, and the chair itself was covered in spikes from head to toe.'

Now, it is stated in Poveglia's bio that he was born from the collective energy of all the souls who suffered on a particular island- [link]
And seeing a Judas ring THAT LARGE got me thinking about just how much pain it would take to create that much darkness. And it left me kinda sad..
Mostly because the strongest darkness can only be cast by a powerful light-meaning the agony from which this creature originated must have been pritty severe...

So I drew the Magismon attempting to reveal that light, whilst his copies set out to destroy the ring on Poveglia's arm.
Think of it as a metaphorical release from ones afflictions.

Anyway.. Threw in a few extra cheesy details since I can though they are subtle.

Iono where Claire is through all of this.
She's prolly cussing up a storm at Magismon somewhere in the distance while sipping on some Kool-Aid. lol
Enjoy guys, and Happy New Years~

Right? It'd be awesome as hell. The creators of this group need to see if they can get something like that in the works.

Interesting idea! I have been wondering about that arm thing lol. That does explain a lot. And I love the way you tackled that explanation

Really nice atmosphere too, looks dark and sinister, but Magismon adds a little bit of hope to it

i saw this, and literally before i even read the description i started tearing up LOL

you're the only one who used the angle of his pain, which just

not a lot of people recognized how much that povegliamon was hurting, BUT YOU

great job on this, you did absolutely fantastic at reading the core of my creation~ IF THIS WAS A CONTEST I'D VOTE THIS

Oh my Gosh.. you are such a sweetheart, thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
I am so touched that I managed to glint even a small portion of what you meant to say through your design.

Again, reading your link on the Judas ring is what instantly got me thinking about him in a more compassionate sense-that and whether it was intentional or not the marking on his chest reminded me of a crucified man.
So that earned him some extra sympathy points as well.

I am so very grateful and content that you like this.
Again, as his creator, thank you for taking the time to say something. I appreciate it.
