February 10th HBD (Late)

My version of Sci shares the same birthday with my persona (Yasu-Kun)

The Trembling Earth - Lust

Blessed Messiah and the Tower of AI AU - Part 5
From the beginning, I choose Lust because both Gackpo and Lust are often colour-coded as purple. Besides that, Gackpo has the role of a monk and it's kinda related to Lust with his talent of the "Ultimate Entertainment Actor" in UnderDespair. Gackpo chants but Lust does it too as a part of his dramatic acting before the chamber closed him in.

From Underlust, it's confirmed that Lust knew his universe was "meaningless" and only to exist for other's desires and being used for suggestive "fun". In UnderDespair, the public is based on the fanbase and opinions of his character and AU, especially Error with his phobia may be linked to his hatred towards Lust’s universe.

Among the group, the majority welcomes Lust, apart for Error. His relationship with Sci is neutral but respectful since Sci researched and understood his past background. Lust connects closer to Blue (who reminds him of Papyrus who sees good in everybody) and Dance during their long journey of reaching the Tower of AI.

Out of the remaining six left in the Tower of AI, Lust decided to go next and sacrificed himself to the rumbling earth. He was the entertainer of the party but also the weakest link. He gave emotional support and kept everybody company until they arrived at their final destination, sealing everybody's fate.

The fifth blessing is the "Trembling Earth" with the elemental power of Earth, resulting in Lust’s death being buried alive with the earth.



When I draw Lust, he took the most time working and fixing on the lineart. As for colouring, I also struggled to get the right balance to match with the background setting because the blue in Lust’s outfit doesn't correspond well with it's opposing colour of orange and browns.

What I love is the special effects of the vertical lines added as Lust will soon be crumbled from the fallen pieces of earth from above. My flaw in the making is the anatomy of his hands.

Overall, I nailed down the drawing with the reference used from the music video of the song. I'm happy with the results and the hard work had paid off.
