Gaster: Traditional #22 Symbolic 5

Thoughts: My time for given traditional or digital artwork remains low, but that simply means that matter of Gaster moves into alternate paths.  Here is another work from this meaningful sketchbook of mine.

There are certain aspects of symbol that have been appended to his visual elements. Some of these migrate in from the books 'Osteoclast' and (ongoing) 'Spicule,' though the traits have only been refined therein; they were long since preexisting. Namely, the presence or absence of the Void within his palms, or the issuing of specific darkness from his body - gelatinous, in shards, in broken grids, like flame, liquid, or smoke. The same could be said of his 'halo' or nimbus commonly about his shoulders or skull. Clothing or vestments (or in this case lack thereof) denote a figure only recently manifest, silvered, clear, and whole in self. A moment of clarity though at the cost of the pane of reality and enigmatically-assembled comprehension; a gift of moments and beckoning to recall.

Among some letter evolutions, there are some changes in written 'rules,' namely that double letters in words are amalgamated into a more complex or 'underlined' host letter. Due to certain embellishment of existing letters (either as initials or finials, or simply in a sort of italic accent of certain words) this could be somewhat more difficult to detect, for most.
