Coloring update.
Yooo~! look at how cool this turning out.
The hair colors are a combination of their hair color & the character they are cosplaying as.
Except Hammer/Koji you know because hammer is bald, so I just put Koji's hair up in a bun.
Look at blending/transitioning between the 3 souls & Graham(I have not fully decided what to with his hair + a white suit that I really did NOT want mess it up.)
+ bonus grayscale.

It's done!!!!!!!!
Yay!
Thanks for the support.
J will come later.
Btw a tiny thank you to @chibitoymaker for your advice all a long the way. Octopimp & ProtonJon for their play thorough of Castlevania: Aria of sorrow.
After @fourgods-nobrakes wrote Abaddon and Sigismund, I just had to do Dorn and Horus.
"I will miss you." Dorn rests against Horus' chest, the sting of the whip fading.
"I had something made to keep you warm on the long Terran nights." Horus' muscles shift as he reaches for it, and Dorn is curious, but he stays obedient and patient where Horus left him.
When the smooth metal wraps around his neck and locks, Dorn groans in delight, gazing up into Horus' eyes in adoration. "Master."
"My brother," Horus says, adjusting the Eye of Horus to rest over Dorn's throat. "My own. Never doubt that I will come for you."
The three 40k-Word Bearers-novels are not the most shining stars of Chaos-Marines-lore. But they gave us some really interesting characters that I really enjoyed while reading and would/have liked to know more about. Especially the Possessed Burias (and his parasite/best friend Drak'shal). He convinces with dedication to the cause, career thinking, joy of fighting and ….
making "vroom, vroom"-noises when stealing a submarine. But read for yourselves:
Burias sat at the controls of the craft, looking ludicrously large hunched over the dials and levers that controlled the pitch, speed, depth, direction and roll of the submersible. It was a simple control system akin to that of a shuttle, and he had little trouble becoming familiar with it. He grinned like a madman as he discovered the controls of the exterior robotic arms, and in the view-screen Marduk could see the massive power-claw snapping, and the huge drill spinning, creating a small whirlpool of turbulence. ‘Burias, it is not a toy,’ said Marduk.
Reynolds, Anthony. Dark Disciple (Word Bearers Book 2) . Black Library. Kindle-Version.
And his emotionally very charged relationship with Dark Acolythe/Dark Apostle Marduk, whom he met back on Calth, when both were just two very green Marines.
In canon it's not described how Burias became a Possessed, but @fourgods-nobrakes filled that blank spot with a great fic.
(heed the warnings and the tags)
I really, really enjoyed the read. Those two(three) deserve more recognition!
Bonus-pic of Burias with Drak'shal not visible (and nice boots).
@fourgods-nobrakes oh! Thank you! That’s certainly a point in the right direction, although I admit I was thinking more of something along the lines of this from the guilty gear wiki’s character pages
Four gods are guardian beasts that protects east, west, north and south.
Among them, Suzaku is a sacred beast sometimes identified with a phoenix. The color is red, symbolizing autumn in the season, and is said to protect the southern direction.
If you go to Kyoto or Nara, there are Suzaku Gate and Suzaku Road, which are located in the southern direction after Suzaku. If you know the meaning and role of the four gods, you think that the way of looking at the map and the way of seeing the world will change. I want to convey the value of such things as an artist.
I would be grateful if you would like to contact the Isetan Shinjuku Art Gallery by phone when you are looking and buying for my works.
Yeah Fire Emblem has always had eastern influence in it, even with the Western Influence being more obvious, the Divine and Earth Dragons and their relationship relates the Amatsukami and Kunitsukami(Heaven and Earth), Ashunera's relationship with mortals draws from man relationship to Kami and nature, Anankos+Corrin in Fates draw from East Dragons with Anankos even wearing a Buddhist mask to reflect friendliness. The Five Dragons on Seiros mural take inspiration from FourGods+Yellow Dragon.
That’s really cool!
I only know a tiny smidge about Amatsukami. I’ve read all the myths at one point or another, but I haven’t come across them enough for me to be able to recognize it the same way I could a Hamlet retelling or something.
