The Defuser; Gothic Horror Story

ok so as i start getting a better grip on these stories, i still am a horror fan to the core. my implementation of it into defuser has been pretty clunky; i want to have our fetishy expansion/giantess/monster girl fun but i cant ignore the need to tell a good horror story. recently, my wife and i got the new nosferatu movie (if you havent seen it, you need to go check it out, it is a PERFECT movie. absolutely amazing) and it really put the zap in me to tell a more gothic horror centric story

ive been experimenting with angles and layouts and getting more comfortable with newer brushes and pens and getting a good sense of freedom to make something more gothic horror inspired.

this particular story centers around gary when he was about 19 in his home country and he was, at one point, betrothed to a young princess that ended with her mutation into a succubus. im having alot of fun making this cuz im letting myself have complete freedom to experiment with various techniques and designs that i think will not only serve this comic well but give me better ways to work on the more typical fetish based defuser.

for this, ive painted gary as a cold, silent and ominous character and portray him more as an omen of death. so alot of sinister shadowing and cold lighting. and the parts where he takes action, i want no room for question he is an instrument of warfare.

this is more of a personal "i wanna take a break from smut for a moment and work on something darker" kind of project. if youre all interested, i can keep you all updated on it, drop a couple pages here and there and you can see where the artwork and story is kinda going.

in this scene. the princess has arrived at the castle where she crosses paths with gary (his real full name Garithan, in his tounge means "lullaby"....however other regions translate it to "cursed knight") at a very odd hours...(woooo spoopy!!!!)
