Have Yet Another Sketch! · 3:27am Apr 27th, 2015
It feel so good to have updated finally. Ya'll don't know how it was driving me crazy that It had been weeks since I last continued Sombra the Familiar's tale. That being said, I still have more to share with ya'll. Here are some sketches from the past month!
Infamous Scythe wielding his, well, infamous scythe! I've had this incarnation's story circle in my head for the past few days and I sketched him out because of it. I'm still getting used to battle poses, mostly because the pony anatomy is a little different from what I'm used to. Either way, I think it came out great.
While it's borderline anthro, this is a nice little sketch of a random Sombra, not one of my incarnations, though he does look nice doesn't he? Kinda reminds me of a Digimon for those that know what that is. All I really did though was stand him up on his hind legs and add some weapon straps to him. That and take off his crown to add more head designs.
{I only added the bottom weapon strap cause I didn't want to give him a cutie mark.}
Sombra in all his splendor. Just a quick sketch, took me about thirty minutes. It was easy since it's just a floating head.
For those who care, this is Rosa. She is Sombra the Familiar's wife from his memories. Just wanted some practice sketching mares, I think she turned out kinda cute.
Alternate universe where the Mane Six had to kill Sombra themselves.
"Even in death, I win."
Everypony knows Sombra was killed. It is no secret, yet it is almost an unspoken rule not to bring it up. After all, how could the ones that say they uphold good commit such a terrible act? Sombra might have been a terrible monster, but what kind of monster would it have taken to kill him? What kind of monsters are they?
As always, let me know what ya'll think. If ya'll are ever interested, go on and make a request, I always do love doing sketches but lack inspiration sometimes.
I'd love to see some of the descriptions you could come up with for Doctor Whooves sketches. You are very creative.
wow. my favorite would have to be the first one, I love the pose! And is it just me, or am I reminded a bit about the video game Death Jr.? That game was so much fun... Yet made me so angry!
And Rosa looks beautiful! definitely beautiful.
Last but definitely not least, the last picture you sketched looks , flat out, aweome! you have a pretty damn good point about the mane six straight up killing a villain. All he wanted was for him to get his empire back, tyrant or not. And now that I think of it, wouldn't a good king do anything to take back his empire, whether his kingdom liked it or not? nah, nevermind... forget about it.
Sombra's death has always been a point of contention for me. While he is officially 'dead', I do not believe for a moment he actually is. Like Kane in the Command and Conquer series, he is too smart for that. That last sketch illustrates the point well.
I was thinking about Sombra's character recently, at least the way you portray him, as inspiration for a fic I have in the early writing stage (just finished the foreword if you're interested). And it struck me that the whole sort of master planner and manipulator, but nonetheless wise and cultured character of Sombra, kind of reminded me of Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons. Odd I know. I wonder if Sombra also despises rakes?
Anyway, great sketches, though some don't show up for me. Looking forward to more when you next update.
My, I absolutely love the premise of the last picture. As always, nice work.
