Good Is Not Nice by Dosypoo on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

I may be late to the Adam/Lute bandwagon but that doesn't make them any less relevant.

I love the "Good Is Not Nice", "Light Is Not Good" and "Dark Is Not Evil" tropes. They are fascinating concepts that dont get touched upon a whole lot. Almost all of the fan artwork around Adam so far centers around him just being a giant goober, and maybe thats how he'll end up, but even so I decided to try and appeal more to the idea that he's a Holy Titan of Righteousness, leading the Exorcists to gleefully carry about their mission of keeping Evil at bay.

Just because he's an Antagonist does not mean he is not "Good". Because remember . . . "Good" is not the same as "Nice".

I tried to make it seem as if the Light was being emanated from his wings and Guitar in this one. As usual, I only use blending for the Backgrounds, and even so avoid it if possible. Otherwise I try and keep a hard contrast between color values and use ink lines when it doesn't look atrocious.

I also kept the feeling of their faces being "LCD Screens", so they are constantly lit up and are meant to look unnatural and unnerving. Lute looks particularly excited to be doing her job.
