Inheritance of Righteous Fury

Hooooo damn.

I always wanted to draw the Signless/Sufferer, but I had no excuse until Monday, when I read a headcanon that simply blew me away.

I don't know about you guys but it makes SO MUCH SENSE TO ME. As humorous as a sassy Sufferer is, I really do enjoy the concept of the calm, peaceful Sufferer with Karkat inheriting all his rage. Like, a LOT.

So I felt compelled to illustrate it SOMEhow.

Soooooo I sketched this yesterday and today, sampled different references and such. Sketch came out nice, line and flat colors worked out okay, even the shading was being nice (these calligraphy brushes GOD who made these presets I need to give you a big hug), and then the effects kicked my ass and I couldn't decide on something for like ever (or twenty minutes, whatevs) until this was the final result. I left a nice texture on it with the vote from my peeps to.

Yeah I worked really hard on this so you'd BETTER ENJOY IT I SWEAR TO GOD hnfgh.

Sufferer, Karkat, both of you, never stop being sexy, k?

K.
