Very late sketchy thing with the King

I shouldn`t draw this late at night...

Shattering.

Alef / Resh has been living rent free in my head for a while and I just can't stop thinking about how everything led up to the shattering . . How Alef's person gradually slipped away until he was unrecognizable, and replaced by a corrupted version of himself, unreachable since he was trapped within his own darkness. Starting off with good intentions, only to be lifted so high he believed himself to be a god; aiming for eternal light only to be plunged in eternal darkness. A never-ending storm of rage and all-consuming darkness.

This old Resh cutscene is so silly I can't stop laughing. Resh really saw a random sky kid passed out on the floor, saw their candle, went "Are you going to eat that?", did not wait for an answer, and just fucked off into the distance. To say I am cackling is not to say anything- and the distant thunder just makes it all so serious and for what JHDGJEDGHGHED

Additional screens:

You can see that his cutscene was only at the testing stages and very unfinished, probably from the time TGC was still figuring out the story, considering how clanky and minimal the animation as well as resh's model is

I mean look at this shit. They look so stupid. PUT THOSE GRIPPERS AWAY!!!

Anyway, this is the last bit of hacked content for now, until our lords and saviors Sky hackers will feed us lore crumbs hidden in those sweet sweet files again.

Corrupted King, Resh

I have quite a few headcanons when it comes to Alef / Resh, and I will mention them below ( PS: could contain spoilers, so please be aware of that )

like I mentioned in a previous post, I differentiate Alef and Resh as before corruption, and after corruption. So Alef is the uncorrupted Prince which later on becomes King. The corruption is gradual however, and doesn't settle immediately, hence the "semi- corrupted", where I see him as losing his former personality to be replaced by increasing coldness, and ruthlessness. That being said, Alef and Resh become like two different people. the way I see it, is that Alef becomes a very small part of light, lost in the darkness. metaphorically very similar to the lone golden child in the void, before we get reborn. the way I envisioned it is, the darkness seeped into the very core of his surroundings, to such an extent it may as well have been an extension of himself. in that sense, Resh "fused" with the darkness around him, and the mountain of Eden, is /alive/ and actively trying to destroy sky kids, even though Resh is not visible himself. when the Elders set on sealing the King away, because he is too powerful, he might have been as big as a mountain tbh, and the sheer power that was being let out on that day likely shattered the diamond. perhaps, Resh's intention was to overthrow Megabird and become the sole source of Light, hence directing the diamond towards the heavenly Light, but of course.. it turned out for the worst

in a way, perhaps Alef is watching himself becoming unrecognizable, but is unable to do anything at all against the all-consuming darkness, which is himself?

What in the love of -

Draws genuine sky art for once in my life
