Description

Day 31 - Mask

Silently, the shadow landed on the roof, its claws lightly rattling against the tiles. It chuckled, its eyes set on its target down below in the street, as the person walked alone. What an easy kill this would be. It wasn't even funny.

"It's almost too easy," he mumbled to himself, pulling out a kunai.

The moon behind him reflected off its surface, and he stared silently at it for a brief moment, thinking over his strategy. The lion statue sitting to his left then began to move; its stone head rattled against its body as it rotated to look at him, its eyes gleeming with magic and malice. The second statue on the other side did just the same, and the assassin chuckled again.

"Catch him. Don't kill him; it'll ruin the fun."

And without a sound, the two statues then leaped from the roof, and after their prey they ran, under the amused eyes of a demon mask...

And with that, Inktober is done!

This challenge was something, and I am so glad I did it all the way through this year. I learned so much from it, and it even had me go back to the basics in terms of lighting and shapes (especially with Kirby characters, them being round and all).

Now this character is actually not fully canon to any of my stories, it was just a thought I had when thinking about masks and oni masks; what if Hailan's Mirror counterpart wore an oni mask? Then it got me thinking about the character themselves and their personality, and I actually got attached to her when drawing her and her lion-dragon statue pets. So, meet Dark Hailan! or Shadow Hailan, I still don't know which one sounds best... I will most likely be drawing her again! I love oni masks, any reason to draw more is welcome.

Thank you for sticking with me through Inktober! It was a challenging but fun experience. Now I guess I can go back to doing more regular uploads at a slower pace, so expect new stuff I made during the month soon. With colour, this time!
