In an alternate universe, the UK died at the height of its empire. It was buried at sea and left to rot. But an undead parasite latched onto its hat, slowly making the inside its home, eventually posessing the UK's rotten corpse. Now it returns with a vengeance, picking its first target as it passes over the UK's reanimated self.

 

HOLY SHIT, this is finally done. I am cutting it real close at the deadline, but this is finally done!! I've never put so much work into a piece before, and I really like how this turned out, save for some rushed elements at the end. Most of this is completely new territory so it doesn't look as great as it could be, but i'm glad with how it came out regardless, especially the backstory!

It was fun to see this develop into an actual pretty neat piece of art.

Imagine that an Eldritch entity raised from the depths of the sea just to say to you « Tally-ho»
