Ancient Keeper - The Eye

Description

Now this is what I clearly consider going to the next level after doing both Confrontation + baiting and Did that thing just ... speak? because this means I got comfortable drawing this horrorvision of a disembodied voice as much as (probably) ValiChan is chill in doing images of Aragorn and Boromir (which I still am not, even when regarding Boron). And sorry for the random mention again, but well, being the only one I know who had (and still has) warnings about drawing certain characters we regularly fangirl over is surely quite ... discouraging, I presume. And I`ll resist making any eye-puns from that point until the end.

So yeah, this is the Ancient Keeper that had given the sentience to the most well-known artifact in Thiefverse ... imagined by me at least, as an entity someone would commonly see in their mind, like Garrett most of the time. The drawing material I used for this big horrorvision is both constricted to the aforementioned Confrontation and the visual representation of a Keeper Instructor you see when you play TDP or Gold - img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20… . I actually consider him to be the oldest of the bunch, followed only by The Heart (that I believe is a female, but given what does it say when you acquire it in DS it could very well be male as well, only the item being referred to as a female ... nevertheless as a sibling, like it refers to!) and thus he can telepathically speak to people, which I believe he uses as a sort of entertainment when being stuck at the specific places like the Museum is ... as well as probably move himself as well, like it tends to do in former old Hammerite Cathedral pre-The Cataclysm, almost like the One Ring in Middle-Earth Saga (specifically The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings) ... and he betrayed the Hammers as well, apparently, by unleashing undead on them!
Speaking of Lord of the Rings, I had once heard in a walkthru of Wieldstrom Museum that Sauron apparently left one of his eyes in Mordor and the other one "here (as in the Museum)", which is both hilarious and "hmmmmm~" inspiring, since both Eyes in question have similarities that could provoke some crossover-possibility, but personally I would be DREADING to see what could this Artifact do in Middle Earth, thus I`m kind of happy that it`s still inside the South Square fountain last time I had "checked" on it ... sort of.

Note that he didn`t have the "eye" in the darkness of his cape until the gemstone itself acquired it and he still has it to this day, which really makes you admire Garrett for actually letting it having his flesh eye, no matter if it was kind of unavoidable as well because I doubt that medicine in The City is being pretty good with transplanting eyes and especially once you consider the entire act of being literally gouged out~ and let`s not forget that he has the mechanical one in the socket as ell already, thus it would be kind of unecessary ... but probably fun in a trollish sort of way, just to then see the battle of the trolls commerce. LOL
And yes, I have absolutely no qualms in referring this entity as "he", as he was once a person too ... a long long time ago when Anceint Keepers still existed~ and just because he sounds like it when you get to hear it. The gemstone that is.

Not much into these series and topic but I can say you did a great job on this drawing which looks impressive even for me who knows nothing about it xD
Hmm those eyes reminds me of a person I knew at my old school, used to draw an eye on papers and stuff, dunno what they mean/his point of doing them and sometimes give them to others :XD:
