The Darkest Thing in the Room

This drawing is one badass motherfucker. A BAMF. You get a cookie if you get the reference.


This is a scene out of mine and :iconm-lee:'s RPG. The two characters are Mei and Obsidian. Mei is a half-elf, Obsidian is a drow. They had traveled together above ground out of the drow city for a while until they were both captured and taken into the city. Obsidian was forced to work as a gladiator in the Coliseum while Mei was kept as a semi-honored guest in the Anansi House. This was before the two of them took over the House themselves and killed off the matron mother. Actually, this scene is shortly after Obsidian killed the matron mother and every single other member with the exception of one drowess named Crystal. Crystal was spared because she had continuously helped Mei sneak into the Coliseum to visit Obsidian. She was actually one of the matron mother's three daughters, though at the time there were only two. She was later adopted by Obsidian as one of his daughters.

In any case, during one significant battle, Obsidian had to face Seregon, a drow who excelled greatly in magic and was also immortal. He had tried to rip Mei's spirit apart, but failed to do so and instead she was sucked into a black mass and somehow managed to get to the surface. Obsidian had not known this and thought her dead. He went berzerk. The Coliseum was destroyed, a large portion of the city was destroyed, then he went into the Anansi House and tore everything apart. This was done with the help of a dark, shadowy substance we have been calling The Corruption. It corroded the House and imbedded itself into the very structure, and into Obsidian himself. That is why he has all that nasty-looking texture on his body. To me it looks like a prettier version of leprosy.


In this scene, Mei manages to return to the House in an attempt to get Obsidian out of there. Obsidian doesn't trust her at first because he's convinced that she's just another figment of his imagination; an annoying, torturing hope that his friend might not only be dead, but still not far from him. This time, it proves to be the real Mei.



This drawing took a long time to do. It was a highly experimental drawing, which was why it did. You'll notice that there are a few textures that were inserted into this drawing. The floor and the curtain were both things I found on the internet and traced over, then altered a bit. The marks on Obsidian's skin are actually part of a sculpture-esque project I did that involved wax. The thing on the wall is one of the Intaglio prints I did in college.


Mei belongs to :m-lee: and Obsidian belongs to Colleen "Janey" Chitty.


EDIT: Just as I feared, my computer screen at home where I do these drawings is darker than what others are. So please excuse the crap that appeared on this drawing. I thought it was much darker than this. The shade on the floor is supposed to be black, for instance. Sigh. I guess I need to go find a new monitor. Then I can properly fix this thing.
