The Book of the Shadows

Okay, so the story behind this project is a little complex.

Intro In keeping with the FGO theme for this art project, I planned to have 2 nd , 3 rd , and 4 th Ascension artworks for the more monstrous version of Euphemia Alter. The main problem was figuring out if to retcon the last image as the 2 nd Ascension. If we’re strictly going by the lore of the R3 Alter story, the first Ascension should look like more like my original Euphemia Alter image – in other words, she shouldn’t look much different from regular Euphemia.

 Haven't had an update out in a while, so let's go a little bigger than normal today. 

I only just realized this never made it up, which is really bad of me. Nevertheless, behold the angelic face of ruin. The amalgamation of gentle death and volatile passions finds release onto the battered world.

When I first started this project, the concept was as simple as the original title – Red Euphemia. At that time, this project was set to be done before I got around to the Euphemia Alter one. It was as simple as Alter’s – Euphie in Nero’s dress, that’s all. But once I latched on to the Euphie Alter project and started the R3 Alter story alongside it, this one took a backseat. By the time I came back around to it, my theories for how to manage her color scheme shifted. I wanted to so something a little more, a little different.

The power of Geass is the power of Kings...

For the second time in history, the capital will be a scene of terror, carnage, and flames. The home of the ruler will burn, and the people will quake with fear. It is the precursor to the end... A new revolution is on the horizon. The sound of trumpets resounds through the night, the stars blotted out by the black wings that deliver hellfire on the vaunted seat. The cries of the people will fall on indifferent ears, as the monarch, once and future, seeks ascension. And thus a final order is wrought, the bell tolls, and a new era begins. But before the new era, a period of accounting. A balancing of souls. Judgment by the flames of passion, hate, regret... a countdown to doomsday...
