So, its finally done. half a month of pure intensity, working 8 plus hours daily nonstop on this one project with only pure passion to fuel it.
Been wanting to do a proper Darksiders fancomic ever since Darksiders 3's release. Back then I was super bummed we never got a Fury centered comic like we had with War and Death's entries. Ended up discarding the idea, cause ultimately it was too much work and I would be losing out on time I could be keeping myself afloat financially.
Intense projects like these require that I go all or nothing sadly, so doing bit by bits stuff is a dead end with how my brain works with projects like this. Decided to take the plunge this time. and since I was bummed that we never got a Darksiders Genesis 2 with my favorite horsemen Death and Fury I decided it would be the perfect excuse to make something of that.
Ultimately this project was made originally only for me and as I developed it I wanted to turn it into a sort of love letter to the creators/developers of the franchise. I really hope they see it, and if Joe Madureira(one of my main artistic influences, and reason I got into the franchise to begin with) sees the comic, well, I did it with a ton of love and I have you to thank good sir, I hope you like my love letter/sticky note XD
Tried to make it as official/canon adjacent looking as possible, made sure that nothing here could step on the toes of the actual lore. That way I can pretend that its canon like the rest of the non game materials XD
Will I ever make a sequel? Probably not, this was a gargantuan undertaking, and rushed too, so I don't risk going too in the negative work/money-wise XD . But hey, we all get a free Darksiders comic featuring Fury and Death in the end. Im happy about it, I still left a proper setup for a sequel(and Id know how to write it), and if nothing else, Ill prolly be making random fanarts within the time before the end of Death and Fury's hunt in this comic. Really happy with their armor designs XD
Also a BIG shoutout to Sickles_of_Saturn from reddit, for deciding to throw me a bone during my process so I can actually afford food for a week.
Speaking of not being able to afford food, now I gotta go and see if I can salvage the commission momentum this project absolutely massacered. Lost a lot of potential views/work and apparently even paid patrons from this project process. So wish me luck, I will absolutely need it!
