Description "Tell me, dear lonely child. What would you give for one last chance to settle the score?" ~ Earthbound Immortal Rasu Allcu


------


There is so damned much I could say about this piece, but I really wanted it to mostly speak for itself so I'll try and restrain myself to just a little bit of my usual long-winded commentary:


I loved the Dark Signer arc of 5Ds so much, but I hated that it left so many good characters looking like howling nut jobs. *cough*Kalin*cough* I really wanted to do something that took a look at a more humanised side of them. One that we never really saw until they were dying for a second time...


So yeah, Alex becomes a Dark Signer after she bled to death in a big traffic accident after the Fortune Cup (can't see it in the pic but theres a scar on her leg from the crash). Wont delve too much into the how's and why's since I'll be posting all that later, but I headcanon that since each of the Dark Signers technically died (screw you 4Kids and your purple netherworld fog of censorship!) before they became bound to their respective Earthbound Immortals, none of them have heartbeats anymore. 


I imagine that despite them all having a unfinished goals that they accepted the Earthbound Immortal's marks for, when they're not evil-scheming, shadow duelling, or just generally howling at the moon crazy; they feel the weight of their incomplete 'deaths' and are haunted by the fact that all they can 'live' for now is unending emptiness.

Thaaaaank yooooou Trace!  

I'm glad you liked the finished edition (the sky was so much fun!) I've changed up her outfit a bit since the old one was a bit out of character with the other Dark Signers - so I'm happy you think the newer one looks good.


Keep an eyes on my gallery; I'm going to be posting her story there pretty soon once I've finished editing it (it's still pretty much the same, but needs some serious polishing since it about two years old now.) 


Much love as always hun! Thank you!

Wow. It's...breathtaking.  


Even though my knowledge of Yu-gi-oh 5Ds is quite hazy (finished watching the series around 2 years ago), but I can remember the Dark Signer Arc -ish. Even though the Dark Signers got reborn - they were filled with contempt and hatred - but deep inside, they had more of their "human" side - like Misty with her brother. 


I especially liked how the background reflected with her past. The "junk" that she's sitting on top of, kinda signifies of her past - since she grew up in Satellite (when it was full of "junk"). And the starry sky is so beautiful! It seems like Alex is gazing into the distance - sadly (as if she knew what's going to come to her). Hem, never mind that. 


I love her new design - completely different from the Dark Signer outfit I'd seen in her wardrobe, but this one suits more to the "Dark Signer" theme. 


asdfghjkl, after re-reading "Alex's Story" that you sent me, a while back, I'm really curious of what happened after haha XD asghjh, and poor Alex QAQ Getting involved with a...traffic accident..... *sobs* If you don't mind, can you tell me who defeated her in a duel? My bets are on Yusei haha 


Once again, an amazing artwork! Look forward to your future work!

Ok, first: Can I just say that you leave me the most wonderful comments! Thank you!


Second: I cannot tell you how happy I am that you pretty much got the intended meaning of the entire pic SPOT ON! She knows that she's dead, and she knows that because of this choice she's made to accept her Mark she's pretty much signed herself up for destroying the only people who she ever loved. And even though she'd rather chew off her own arm that admit it, it's eating her alive inside to know that she can't ever go back and do everything differently...just...urgh! You don't know how well you guessed the meaning behind this pic! (Ok, now I need to stop)


And third: I'll be posting her (revised but not all that different) story as soon as I've finished editing Part 2 - but I can tell you that you're half right on your guess at who beats her. Buuuut it's a bit more complicated than just that. But that's a surprise I'll save for later, hehehehe


Once again, thank you so much for the comments and support all this time hun! It's so appreciated, you have no idea!

And you deserve wonderful comments! You're welcome!  


Well you explained it on your comment, so it's really no biggie! You give me too much credit hahaha XDD I have to feel sorry for Alex though D: D: I was teary when Yusei defeated Kalin, and...ugh - the feels! And it doesn't help that I'm a crybaby when other people cry - even in anime!


That's awesome! I'll be looking forward to reading it! You've sure came a long way - developing her character and a story as well! Haha, I'll be looking forward that surprise! (Though I gave an inkling who the other 'half' might be) 


You're welcome! Like I said before, you deserve it

Yeah, I've decided to finish the story synopsis and post it once I've done a few more continuity check (it's way too long for me to write in prose form atm.) I will be posting some of my favourite scenes here and there too - like Alex's final duel as a Dark Signer maybe?  

Thanks for the support!

Thanks hun

Lol, I think this is the only occasion where she can look cute as a Dark Signer - she turns kind of scary after accepting the Earthbound Mark of the Coyote. Glad you like

LeoFan85 In reply to LittleMissWiseass [2013-11-14 04:08:32 +0000 UTC]

No problem.^_^  Yeah, after remembering how she became a Dark Signer in her old story in the first place, I don't blame her for being scary.
