Description  Two pieces of the same whole watched one another in silence; one victorious, the other long since lost. One soul has the strength to pull the other from the grip of oblivion...but do they take the first step? Or is it their fate to keep falling?  


Four years.  Foooour fuckin' -long- years since I've had these two kicking around my mind actively! It's like looking back in time for me, except now I've got the experience to properly communicate their story. So...maaaybe I will. If I had to pick any of the many stories I want to tell, this one is probably on the top of the pile, even if it is another fanfic over something "original". 

For those of you who don't have a clue what I'm talking about, these two are Lyani and Erol respectively.  Both characters set in the universe of the Jak & Daxter series, the first is an OC and the other is Canon. To go into their dynamic here would take far too long; the nine years I've spent developing their tale makes it somewhat hard to summarize. Long story short?  They have some -serious- history. 

Proud to say that I only used -one- base for this. Erol's pose is entirely from scratch! 'shimmies'  For some reason twisted cyborg anatomy was easier than plain humanoid.

Seriously, I know I've seen you do light mecha/cybernetics before, but this rocks the casbah. If you look at the world of fantasy commissions on DA, for example, two things almost nobody seems willing to draw are gore and mecha.

I suppose it's all the moving parts, but mechanics and metallics seem natural for you. Cultivate the shell of your ghost!

You know what's terrible? 

I do mechnical stuff fairly well from what I can see, -when- I'm invested enough to go to that level of detail.  Cause usually I'm like "Naaaaahhh!!! Stay away! Do not want!"  but then I turn around like "Oh, well I've liked this character since I was eight and oops, there goes ten hours!"   xD 

You're right though, as far as mech/cyborgs go, Erol kind of rocks the throne.

Great work Shelke! I love the look being shared between them, you can tell there's oodles of history and it's just a question of where, in this moment, that history will lead. I wish you all the best in telling your story! <3

^^  Thank you!  I couldn't decide on an expression for Lyani, and then I remembered oh yeah, mask! It just serves this awesome purpose that nobody on either side of the 4th wall can tell in -that- moment what's going through her head; meanwhile we've got Erol who looks defeated physically -and- mentally, but there's a small semblance of trust behind it all. For him, in the moment, Lyani holds his life in the balance, and if there's anyone in the world beyond himself he -could- trust with his fate, it'd be her. 

I -reeeally- want to get the story done now. Feel like with the understanding of common practices and the boundaries I've set on my own writing style, I can actually tackle this titan of a story.  xP
