Mr. Dark, before and after his failed battle against The First Nightmare

Once upon a time, during a period of everlasting peace in The Glade, there lived a powerful magician. Instead of the friendly warmth of the sun's rays, he was created by Polokus himself from the biting intensity of the sun's fire. While details of this First Hero (Mr. Light, as some records say) are scarce and some of his good deeds are accidentally misattributed to his apprentice, he was one of the many noble creatures that stood up against Jano, The First Nightmare.

And...he failed. Horribly. The First Hero was a powerful magician, but so was Jano, and Jano's magic ultimately won. As punishment for his brash insolence, Jano took the dying hero, stole his pretty, pretty face, and pierced his soul with the shifting, eldritch touch of the abyss.

After all, with a little nudge, any dream can become a nightmare...

And then he stole a pink orb and built a fortress made out of cake before being beaten up by a 10 year old that may or may not be his biological son, The End. 8)

For the last year or so, I've been looking at my "Mr. Dark is a Thingamajig" idea and thinking to myself "yeah, this idea has promise but I think I made this design TOO lame". So I decided to give in to the desire to draw a fun shadow creature and say that the reason he's wearing a big cloak now is because Jano takes "Got Your Nose" way too seriously and he's still sour about it.
