Bartholomew Kuma: Schadenfreude

Published:

Description

Thoughts: The title of the image refers to what may be many elements which embodied Kuma's past, or which may engulf him in the present.

Though the truth of his history is not currently known, it's clear that he held a fiery malice for the World Government, concealed behind an obsidian exterior.

However, now, as an entity removed of his free will, there may well be a vast many who hold his hollow existence as just, and though fewer by far, those who also delight in that tragedy, knowing that they have a functional solider at their behest.

... Yet, knowing the suffering of others could also at one time have been something of subtle salvation and joy for Bartholomew. One of his last known living acts was to grant freedom to others. Being divided from one's companions is not easy, and in those new journeys there would be both vast hardship, yet also the tempered steel of newfound strength.

A Tyrant in many ways, the extent of truth and ramification behind this has yet to be revealed.

Experiencing some difficulty in my time, such a sketch had proven a thing of meditation, if not a sort of compassion - and so his stoic gaze would appear to reflect that, holding a great many thoughts and unanswered questions, all condemned to time and silence.

Details: An exercise sketch from a considerate frame of mind.

Materials: Mechanical pencil, shading stick, sketchbook paper.
