Meaning of Birth

L: "It doesn't matter what you think. Here I am. If that's the source of the strength you're talking about then I won't lose!"
A: "...Well said, I will make those words your last replicaaaa!"

I don't have words for the love I have for this game. I haven't played it in well over a year now, which is crazy for me, since it got to a point where I'd play it once every two months or so. I think it's time to play again soon, considering I was on the verge of crying listening to the soundtrack while drawing this..... You know, from the final battle music all the way to the very last song.

I love this scene. I think it's the point in the game where Asch finally accepts who he is-- tragic past and everything. And I think it's also where he forgives Luke for existing.

I wasn't actually going to finish this one... I drew the lineart and was about to put it away, but as soon as I asked myself if I wanted to continue THE FREAKING MANGA UPDATED. Yes, two years and it finally updated on the day I was about to archive this drawing. I took it as a sign from a higher force and finished it. LONG LIVE ABYSS.

Here's the old version from 4 years ago: fav.me/d4m4x4c Yup, I was obsessed then too.

Anyway, I don't own Asch, Luke, or the Isle of Hod, just the artwork.
