Got bored, came up with an Artificer x Saint au based off of the hit vocaloid song Lower by nuyuri (Don't come at me because I gave Arti masc pronouns, I'm projecting in transmasc.)

Taking place between The Monk and The Rivulet's campaigns, the story opens up with Artificer on a walk, sending any scavengers that spot him scattering as he casually passes through a toll. Suddenly, he hears a series of loud PANG noises from the scavenger burrow, and Saint emerges a few seconds after, having ascended the whole pack before they could have reacted.

Curious about Saint while simultaneously unaware of what exactly happened to the scavengers and only knowing that they're likely dead, Artificer greets them cheerfully. Intrigued by Artificer's violent nature combined with their laidback personality, Saint asks him where he's headed, and he replies with "No idea!"

After getting to know each other for a while and exchanging names, they decide to travel together, Artificer being fascinated by Saint and their ability to seemingly kill creatures simply by pointing at them, while Saint is interested in Artificer's seemingly unlimited capacity for violence. Over the course of their travels, they join a local slugcat colony, learning more about each other through every step of their redemption arcs, but one day, Artificer comes to realize the truth about Saint: they're not just killing what they point at, they're ascending them...

Feeling that this is a pretty big secret, Artificer confronts Saint, who tries to calm him down, only to receive a nasty scratch across the eye that prompts him to flee, leaving Artificer to face their colony alone, and they aren't too happy about the fact Artificer had the audacity to attack another slugcat.

As Saint returns to make amends, they arrive just in time to see the pack gathered around, with Artificer about to be executed, tied to a stake above a patch of wormgrass ready to devour them alive. In a last ditch effort to make things right, they ascend Artificer from afar, and flee the scene before any of the other slugcats even see them, let alone realize what happened.

After their escape, they look back on their life with The Artificer, knowing that they will never return, and for the first time, they mourn the death of someone they've ascended.

The story closes with Saint realizing the value of their friendship with Artificer, (which might have been something more all along) and vowing to keep their promise. If they cannot die, then they will simply live life to the fullest until the world finally comes to an end.

Artisaint [Dancing's Done]

(trigger warning, stylized blood and violence)

Played around a bit

Had a lot of fun making this piece, ajds;lkfja;sldkfjakl;skdfj, took me a bit over 3 hours...

some more fun stuff under the cut >:D (chat about process/alternative color one/song pairing)

First things first, this piece pairs well with this song, to me;

"People like you and me were born to run" my brain went "ough that's them alright" "Where we goin' when the dancin's done" and I was like "well yeah they're doomed to eternity aren't they... there's nowhere TO go" "Take me to the edge of afterlife" and I was like, very literal with this one i was like "oh yeah neither of them can ENTER the afterlife, they're stuck on the edge"

and also just, the song slaps ngl ajs;fdklajdf;la

and also also

alt colors version !

one where Saint is more blue to match, and Arti is more red to match, pretty simple, but I like both versions a lot, ajsdf;laks

The first one isn't evven their natural colors, it's just done for fun and such, and I thought those colors looked good for the piece, but then I wanted an alt wehre they were more red and I ended up liking it ! so I am sharing both

OKAY PROCESS LET'S GO

The initial sketch of course

it was at this point I went "oh god is this too much for me?" "hey, it's okay Foxes, you just gotta try, okay?" and so I did

Saint and Arti<3 I did arti first, then saint, and I had a ton of fun figuring out how to do them, I wanted to limit the amount of colors I was allowed to use for them, 3 base colors for the body, then eyes I could do whatever (which was mostly for Arti)

It made me really think hard about what I wanted to do, and I'm really happy with how they came out

so close......

this is when I finished the void worm! I learned my program had filters so I went kinda crazy using them on this piece, asjd;flkajdsf;al

for the arti half, i was basically just using the sketch as a rough guide, and I was doing it one layer at a time

the second layer of pink on the right done

the second layer of pink on the left done

this centipede wasn't in the sketch at all!! but I thought adding it would help with the variety of things there, and with the balance of the piece, originally it was just gonna be another spear there

left side all pinked up

and right side all pinked up!!

I really loved how it all looked, it was super fun playing with those colors, and I'm DEFINITELY doing something like this again sometime

did some filter wrok, and boom, it was done!

it was a blast to work on, and I hope y'all enjoy it >:D
