#cindry

Finally allowed to share some art I did for @opmythologyzine !! Been sitting on these since last summer or so and have wanted to share them for quite a while now! :Uc Black Maria is depicted as an Icelandic Kraken, while Cindry is supposed to be a Swedish Irrbloss (a kind of will-o-wisp)!

ran this game over on twitter & here’s half of the suggestions !!! so many guys …. 😌💛

Like Absalom, there's something terribly real about Hogback's obsession, right down to the depression he falls into after Cindry initially died. I actually like that he wasn't the one to kill her. It adds the teensiest bit of complexity to his character, and while not said directly it makes sense that after being powerless to bring the person he "loved" back to life that he'd jump at the chance at joining someone like Moriah. Hogback wants to be known as the man who has conquered death, he wouldn't make this huge speech trying to convince Chopper about his ability otherwise, and it's easy to see how that obsession might have come about. There’s even some symbolism of this corruption in his character design, as he goes from wearing all white when Cindry was alive to all black after bringing her back from the dead.

1980s style cindry from one piece!! Pls don't steal it or I will break ur knee caps:)
