However, My Work Is Already Finished. I Drew It Back On Friday, But For Various Reasons, I'm Publishing

However, my work is already finished. I drew it back on Friday, but for various reasons, I'm publishing it now. It's also worth noting that I used Krita as my artistic tool this time. I haven't done that in about five years. I like the internal painting brushes, but I still feel a lack of variety in other types. The search for new tools to work with in this program is more challenging compared to CSP.

Let's get back to the work. Here, Drudox is depicted in various variations.

⋇ 1. Other Alignment Here, Drudox is portrayed in a lawfully evil variant. I position his original version as chaotically neutral. I believe that his alignment significantly influenced the course of events. In this variant, he might have gone into seclusion and talked to the moon.

⋇ 2. Role Reversal This is quite a heavy question. Although I noted that I swapped his roles with Daniel, I'm still not sure about it. This drawing doesn't carry much lore from any specific universe of "Ordinary Bushes Adventures," so I can't say much about it other than that Drudox looks quite remarkable here.

⋇ 3. Alternative Setting Recently, I was pondering how characters from the original universe might look in an underwater setting and quickly came up with this appearance for them. In popular culture, similar creatures resembling squids are often considered negative; a prominent example would be "The Little Mermaid." However, I don't think Drudox could be considered a negative character.

⋇ 4. Part of Subculture While selecting a subculture, Marey and I stumbled upon farming as one of them. It was the most obvious choice. It didn't change anything fundamentally: Drudox remained a farmer as he always was. Maybe I should have depicted him in some other form, but I couldn't decide which one and chose the path of least resistance.

⋇ 5. Alternative Races In the initial scenarios of events, Drudox could have changed his race to a diabolo — quite a long and convoluted story. I decided it wasn't suitable. Nevertheless, I had some developments left over, based on which I depicted him here.

⋇ 6. At the End of the Journey Initially, I wanted to joke and depict a pile of ashes, but that would look cruel. I don't think he truly deserves such an end, so I decided to portray him large and content — you know, like when people wish happiness, health, and prosperity during holidays. Did you catch that?
