The End of All Hope

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth~ Nightwish, Century Child

"The Golden Dawn is eminent--a new era will arrive soon. The crossbreeding of human beings and night breeds signifies the beginning of a new age...you must bear witness to this event. God granted us the privilege of withessing history. You will realize this..."

Fanart of Cain, the main villain from the B-grade anime series NightWalker. Since the series is so sporadic (a 4 episode OVA plus 8 television episodes), I had two character designs to choose from--and there was no way in hell I was giving him the purple vest. Or the teal coat. So I combined what I liked out of the two. The "quote" above is actually an amalgam of pretty much all he mentions of the "Golden Dawn", which we never see, and which is never mentioned again after episode four. (Told you it was sporadic.)

Funny how making a villain bisexual with a fixation on the hero makes him more evil. I'm serious! It's rather unnerving when he's about to chop off Shido's head and saying "I do this out of love". Well to me at least.

EDIT: I posted the unfinished lineart instead! Sorry. You can view the clean lineart here [link]
