#cw corpse

I’m really proud of the art on this one. It took me several sketches to figure out how to draw Silvers body, and whether or not I wanted to draw him alive or not. Settled on him being dead already, or very close to dying.

NOW to ramble about detail choices!

Those dots on his cheeks, it’s popped blood vessels! When you are strangled with a cordlike object, your blood is trapped in your head and the pressure builds and builds till the vessels in your skin pop!

And for his death specifically, the vines had thorns on them, so those dug into his neck and nicked some serious veins, muscle, and tissue. So he was strangled and also drowning in his own blood. Hence his blood spilling from his mouth and the blood soaked ruffles.

I chose to avoid drawing his eyes, simply because in the sketches that I showed them— o-o u-u it looked like kinky art and him enjoying a good ol bondage strangle. And I TRIED. So hard. But he just refused to look like he wasn’t enjoying it!!! Damn you Masochist Silver! *shakes my fist*

And of course, for the trend, it has to be Autumn floating around Silver’s head. It also ties pretty nicely into Autumn killing himself in that timeline because Silver had died and his family doesn’t “need him” so he feels aimless. So, ghost Autumn returns!!!

The line art turned out amazing! Heheheheheheheheh

Ghost Autumn also barely took any time to sketch and lineart the frames of. Probably 30-45 mins. Hardest part was fucking animating Silvers swinging!!!!!!! Fuck you past me for deciding he was going to swing back and forth and autumns ghost wasn’t going to line up with thattttttttt. Timing was a bitch.

Autumns animation of going around silvers head loops twice. Meanwhile silver swings left, then right. And then the two loop at the same time. Fuck you past me. If I knew how to tween, this would be much better. But I do think there’s a charm to the choppiness.

I’ve wanted to draw the horror that is Silver’s death for a longgggg time. I actually have in the past but never truely captured it like this one does.

This is the only other time I’ve drawn it:

And its after Autumn returns to Silvers quarters to see what happened and he sees Silver hanging. Autumn cuts Silver down and pulls all the vines off. Then holds him.

And as he mourns the one person that understood him, Autumn wonders, in his incredibly biased opinion:

Because he believes that there was a way to cause change without any violence. Silver is dead. Flame is severely mutilated all because they wanted to assassinate Silver.

Was it worth it?

Autumn would say no.
