Why do I make my characters look so similar if I'm going to make all my art monochrome and have them hw nearly indistinguishable from each othwr. To be fair!!! They are two very different, yet both extremely melancholy. Okay Lysander has a facial scar and grayish silver hair, where Azemael's is black. But Lysander did have black hair before he got stabbed in the skull and ended up with marie antionette syndrome, giving him premature graying.
Lysander, UselessPrettyBoy Voltaire. The hair covers his scar, which is dumb bc he draws over it, making it into an inverted cross and more obvious anyways. Could he conceal it? Yes,but that's not Aesthetic(tm) enough.
And Azemael, named by.his parents, who played too much d&d in the 80s and became a vampire woth his twin (not lysander) in a weird game of chicken at a frat house and doesn't remember it. He never dresses nicely despite being an alphaChad gothic heartthrob that everyone wants to fuck. He's basically just a NEET version of Peter Steele who lives in a basement and jacks it to anime girls bc he is only satisfied by 2-dimentional women. I'm undecided if he owns a body pillow or not. Because I haven't watched anime in long time and I don't know any current lolicon characters that would be a hilarious waifu for him.
As contrasted by Lysander, who will fuck anyone or anything that distracts him from his depression and crippling insomnia. Male, female, or both- at the same time. But never his wife bc she only married him to the money. Except that one time that he doesn't remember.
Lysander, Worst Detective Voltaire, being uselessly gorgeous.
