Once upon a dad...

When I see interesting concepts like this, I can't help but think about all those stories I want to bring to life... Trying to find which one resonates the most with the theme. Stories that have been sitting there... waiting for years... dude... But I just can't. AI is one step in the right direction. I no longer need to sell an arm just to even dream about sharing these stories, or to imagine producing a beautiful anime adaptation of Pearl's story. But at the end of the day, we still need to buy food, pay rent, and deal with all that boring real-life stuff. So all I can really do is take an opportunity like this one. This theme, "The Last Gentleman", resonates with me. So I thought... Why not use it as an excuse to create and share little pieces of lore. (no, not a major spoiler at all) Fragments of those stories that have been occupying a corner of my mind for years.

The image is cut in multiple panels, hand drawing artisanal colored manga with no dialogue. 1: The man with his left eye covered by his hair is shocked, a twisted dagger fully plunged deep inside his back, in the only tiny spot his holy white and golden paladin armor doesn't cover, he turns his head, his expression a unreadable mix of shock, surprise, betrayal and anger. 2: The girl is laughing? Crying? her whole body trembling, her hands shaking, locked in the very position they had when she plunged the dagger, slightly clenched around nothing. 3: The man throws one hand toward the girl in one terrifying fast motion, the girl freezes in terror. 4: In her surprise, he simply pats her head and offers one last gentle smile before collapsing. 5: He collapses, but the panel only shows his hand moving down, focusing instead on the girl's head, still in shock, frozen. The scene occurs on a massive battlefield, the characters are surrounded by ruins, broken; flags, armors and weapons. The natural lighting offered by the sun offers a timid light and high contrasts keeping the scene dim to fit the dark mature atmosphere surrounding the scene. The girl with purple eyes is dressed like a undead army general with a long amazing and terrifying dress with no headband. The visual style is imported by image4, a sketchy like traditional style.
