Doodling several concepts of boots for the character on whom they would be impossible to see is really one of THE most Fromsoft moments XD

Tfw mister Miyazaki is asleep and the boys can FINALLY design a female character that isn't barefoot

INKTOBER 25 - Dusk of Oolacile, Dark Souls

The princess of Oolacile who is trapped in a Golden Crystal Golem in the depths of the Darkroot Basin, important characters in the history of the Dark Souls DLC "Artorias of the Abyss."

Frampt can't stand Seath, Shira and Priscilla are both descended from Seath, Shira has some family resemblance to Gwynevere, Yorshka looks quite a bit like Shira and has physical features indicating her to be descended from Seath, "maiden of Gwynevere" might actually mean "female descendent" (not sure on this one, haven't read the original Japanese), Lothric was produced by "unspeakable means" through Oceiros' identification with Seath, Gwyndolin, despite having very easy access to Seath's sorceries and using Logan sorceries quite proficiently, never touched Crystal Sorcery in his life, Seath spent an inordinate amount of time torturing the Maidens of Gwynevere, the "Power of the Moon" might actually refer to the Moonlight Greatsword, thus being related to dragons, snakes are imperfect dragons, a massive taboo around Seath and Seath Worship is maintained through the series, the only named characters Seath abducts (Reah, Dusk, and Sieglinde) are women, the Queen of Lothric left Oceiros after giving birth to Ocelotte (a "child of dragons, who looks a bit like Priscilla"), we still don't know how Yorshka is descended from both Gwyn and Seath, and Yorshka seems to have relied on similar invisible bridges to guide people to her tower to what you find in the Crystal Cave.

I feel like I am going insane.

Dusk of Oolacile and Alvina from Dark Souls

Dark Souls 1 faces references Part 3: Pharis/Evlana, Americus, Forest Hunter (Cleric), Beatrice, Dusk

Pharis/Evlana

Unfortunately, the name and relevance of this character can be easy to miss, as the game Dark Souls 1 simply labels this character as 'Forest Hunter Archer'! However, Japanese guide book confirms this IS 弓の英雄ファリス (Pharis, the heroic archer)!

( x )

+ As for questions regarding this character's pronoun or why Evlana (I just sense some of you here refused to play Dark Souls 2.....), here ( x ) is the separate short post for explanation!

Americus

This character is the knight lady amongst the Forest Hunters! And yet, again, her name is only revealed in Japanese guide:

( x )

騎士アメリクス (Knight Americus)!

Funny enough, this character appears to be literally duplicated just to make player's experience more painful! You will find TWO of this NPC in the woods, identical in absolutely everything but pose, but both do not respawn and there is a mention of only one name according to Japanese guide!

Forest Hunter (Cleric)

Character that uses Soothing Sunlight (one of Gwynevere's miracles granted to her maidens), and also went on pilgrimage according to her equipment!

Beatrice

Definitely looks nothing like her concept and even the unused child model, but I suppose keeping the originally planned colors would just plagitarize a Berserk character at that rate..

(Look at Beatrice's unused young model: ( x ))

I do think keeping the wand instead of giving her a shield would be a better idea! Like the wand could've been Miracles catalyst! Too OP, perhaps....?

Dusk

Like I said before, whereas I assumed her eyes to be just green, they are, in fact, barely green! Almost grey!

The ingame hairstyle is valid, of course, as she is the only NPC who uses it AND it still technically has her have long hair, only all tied up! But still, as far as depicting her goes, I think the really long braid feels more like an implication? Just limitations of NPC models again, really

This was definitely the hardest artwork to create out of the series so far, I'm happy with how the hair and wings turned out though.

very interesting how Alsanna and Filianore looks so similiar

this basically confirms that Manus was from the Ringed City at some point, doesn't it?

Manus being from the Ringed City was very in contact with Filianore, and the gods. he then went to Oolacile for some reason, here's what i think:

i still believe that Manus is the Furtive Pygmy, i think it's a very reasonable theory. i mean, being such an important character lore-wise related to humanity, dark and the abyss, why would he be a random human?

Manus and the Pygmy Lords got segregated in the Ringed City by Gwyn, which was a beautiful city blocked in time so that the humans couldn't enter in the annals of history.

but Manus was suspicious of Gwyn and his plans, and was scared of what Gwyn could've done to him and his children a.k.a the humans.

Manus then left the Ringed City and went to Oolacile, who was a city very tied with Light and Gwyn.

either he went there to warns everyone about Gwyn's plans or maybe he just wanted to chill with the other humans now that he finally escaped from the gods. (even though they tortured him later on, my man can't catch a break lmao)

Manus' fear got more aggravated after Gwyn started using humanities to rekindle the Flame, but he knew he couldn't do nothing about it. (note: i'm not tryna demonizing Gwyn, i actually love that paranoid old man🫶)

i found very symbolic how Alsanna resemble Manus' fear and is similiar to Filianore, representing Manus' fear for Gwyn, for the gods.

important to point out how also Nashandra and Dusk are very similiar

Nashandra resembles Manus' want, and being similiar to Dusk is probably because she gifted him the pendant, the thing that Manus "wanted" from us when we picked it up.

while for Elana and Nadalia they don't look like someone in specific but still, Nadalia resembles Manus' loneliness, because hey, Manus felt alone his entire life, to the Ringed City where he was segregated, to Oolacile where he got tortured in the dungeons.

while for Elana... i actually don't know about her... other that she resembles Manus' anger when he trasformed into a reckless beast...

i just love DS details that would make DS2 haters say "they just didn't think about it!! it's only a coincidence!!" lol

(also this was very rushed so there may be a few errors...) (also merry christmas!!)

[recursiverabbit]

(Obligatory reminder to myself that I have tumblr...) ANYWAY! I hadn't written a fanfic in years, and I especially had never posted a fic before this one... so of course, my debut had to be a 200k+ word Dark Souls lore retelling (with heavy doses of nkstein angst because of course). And as of today (Nov 3, 2024), A Flame's Consequence (AFC) has come to an end 💙

I've learned a lot while writing this, and there is SO much that I would improve if I were to rewrite this from scratch. Though considering this was my first fic (at least, my first public one), I think it turned out pretty alright :) I'll miss AFC dearly, but I'm also excited to work on new writing projects (both my current WIPs being Soulsborne)! 💙💙

Some Dark Souls 1 data updates

Look who gets to eat their words lol! Turns out Reah doesn't have pure grey eyes, she has greenish grey!

And Dusk, who I assumed had much greener eyes, actually has even GREYER green eyes!

..yeah, I ended up talking with a person who can actually rip characters face data and who is still in the process, but there are some nice references already! Good news: Ciaran is still up to interpretation! Turns out that in PTDE edition (aka pre Remastered), Ciaran just shares face data with Dusk!

Another news: Anastacia DOES use unique model, actually! And it does not have eye texture.

However, the NPC model for Anastacia still exists in game files! That one with strawberry blonde hair and dark green eyes!

Since this is the only hint at devs' intention for her eyes we get, I think it is safe to assume dark green eyes for her!

I will share if there is anything else coming up!
