The normal versions of the illustrations for Vampire B and Arrancar A

i KNOW its been very soft and cheesy but i really wanted to try and steer the conversation to how similar they are in terms of how both L and Light remove themselves from having the opportunity for genuine connections, just in different ways - i think it also really helps with how they remain so certain in each of their "embodiment" of justice. it's much easier to "keep it simple" when you're not tangled up with the people around you, i guess... and its much much much easier to be a judge when you just get to observe but don't engage unless you have to.

another reason i really wanted to draw this out so much is because L is a little shit, and i felt like if he really wanted to bring up a vulnerable conversation, he'd be very selective about what questions he's willing to respond to and turn back towards Light and it would take Light getting really fed up with his evasion to actually finally talk. they're dumb. i needed more pages and space because they're dumb.

anyway i made the first page literally the week i got back into death note and i just really wanted to get it out of my system YAY

i also made a lil extra scribbly sketch because i needed Light to be more in denial about stuff but also just wanted to draw them being stupid
