hello been a minute :) i did this as part of a challenge for a small art community i am in (not on here). i am sorry to not have a scanner because i am sure some detail gets lost but oh well. many mistakes made as usual but it still helped me learn a lot and i had been wanting to do another piece involving marginalia so it was a good opportunity.

a black ink fineliner drawing. a skeleton-lich thing dressed in a tall crown and regal garments holds a dagger in one hand and offers a slice of apple to a prisoner sitting on a stool, who turns their head away and holds a shackled hand up in refusal. behind them a cavernous drain carries black sludge with apples floating in it, the sludge dripping down out of the wall to a large basin which is mostly obscured by the figures.  the scene is framed by marginalia of halved apples in each corner on a bushel of leaves, tall candles on each side, a dagger at the top and severed hands at the bottom kept together by shackles and chain with two slices of apple between them.  if you're thinking i did too much, you are correct. i need to learn to edit.

    It is a good thing. Berserk is a beloved manga series.

    Personally I got more of a tarot card vibe. If I had wall space I would definitely buy a print.
