Trace regains his memories and returned to power with a likewise evil-corrupted Flora at his side in this dark timeline, suggested by Baskerville!

Well...at least they still have each other.

Xeidler Trayling

Well, someone went to hot topic for those clothes………

Elvenhunter84

Poor Reni. Why does she have hair though?

Rowan Skye

Love triumphs evil, they say. So why not just put your love into evil with you instead? Interesting AU for this one, haha.

Linxan

Flora looks great, no lie, but Reni in chains just hurts my soul.

Dave

Very nice! Would love to see more of this dark timeline...

DiDiDi-X

It really breaks my heart to see Reni chained up like that, it's really sad yet an interesting take on an AU.

Roarschach

Oh wow, that IS dark. Poor Reni.

Dhaka Yeena

Whoa! I hope we see more of this

Cliff Warden

Hmm. How would dark trace accept flora? There's the chance that choker is a slave collar. There's also the possibility that in this au she was aware during the ephemeral incident. Seeing euchre as a templar breaking her trust in him, and possibly her people. If trace's memories were triggered by the basitin tower incident that would explain why Nora hasn't stepped in for her descendant. She may favor trace, but with her dragon pride I don't think she'd be THAT aloof about a captured dragon.

AstroChaos

On one hand, this is AMAZING looking. On the other... chained and enslaved Reni.

Skeleton Man

They might be evil and dark. But daaaam they looking good!

Cliff Warden

Next we need Keith and Natani: leaders of the resistance

Roughlandin

Welp... congrats, Baskerville! I think this is officially the #DarkestSketch. Excellent work, Tom! It certainly is... striking. If mebbe a lil edgelordy, lol. XD

Spillthefire6

On the bright side, Trace having Flora as his dark consort/mistress may be a great way to improve Human-Keidran relations.

David Gipe

Would be interesting to see a special issue in the Evil AU. See that "I-I'd turn evil for you. As long as we build a Legacy, together..."

David Gipe

Nice thought on events!

Techdragon

Both Reni and Nora have what looks like 'hair' or 'manes' in multiple pictures, though it's hard to tell if they're really hair-like or like longer, flexible scales, or perhaps more like the 'feathers' that we now are thinking dinosaurs had. My guess is they're probably similar to hair and nails on humans (some kind of evolutionary remnant), or they could be a conscious choice to better fit in with the other races, though pictures of very young Reni seem to have similar 'hair' so it's likely natural. I don't think we've seen many dragons so far (that we know of anyway) so it's difficult to know how common that is.

Beck Carmine

I do love a good villain couple~

David Gipe

We gonna have the tension of Zen being on Legacy's side. Have the extra issue of the link. Fighting for Intel on both sides or trying to convince one another to each others side. "Brother, why don't you understand?!"

David Gipe

"It is because of her, Flora, that I give you Keidran the chance to submit. For those who refuse, you refuse Her gift and aren't worthy of such... Respect." - Dark Legacy

Cliff Warden

Gotta make use of my apparently superhuman data retention somehow

AlaricLives87

You just had to put Reni in like that, didn't you? She probably realized just how unjust and dangerous a power couple they'd be and tried to stop it, paying dearly in servitude

David Gipe

Even though my replies are positive in this dar mirror. I do feel a creepy tingling in my spine at this image . Great art.

Indigo

In this AU, I imagine that Flora figured out that she was intentionally led to Trace, and decided to make the most of this opportunity by seducing the Grand Templar, even helping him to recover his memories as a way of additionally ingratiating herself with him. She was unhappy with being offered as a bride to a wolf, anyways. "It's always those wolves," she might coo into his ear at night. "Those dirty, treacherous, mangy wolves." And why shouldn't she take some happiness for herself? She's a tigress, and a damn fine one, even if her own people couldn't see it. Keidran live such short lives anyways, there's simply no time to give of oneself without expecting something in return. And now her people have to respect her, because she has the mighty Grand Templar with her now.

Blackjack

Flora for sure looks like shes got a large portion of the power in this dynamic, no mere arm candy here!

V1nc3nt

Dark flora is just as sexy as regular flora

silver dragonia

poor reni she doesn't deserve this she's a lovely dragon who deserves the best and the best kind of back and belly rubs and massages and i do love to give her all of them if i could

silver dragonia

she likely did and she doesn't deserve that she deserves love and massages and proper friends who would love to take care of her which i would love to try to take care of her

Lord Friday

We need this colored so bad, because it’s so good

Ordithus

Evil has never looked so good~ Imprisoning Reni sells they are evil, not just posing for a stern well-dressed portrait.

jo holloway

I wanna see more of this au please

Indigo

Why, it's their crowning achievement, why shouldn't they immortalize it along with themselves in a painting? Trace and Flora, masters of all kinds, even dragonkind. I daresay Nora would be proud of her young protege, even, for taking all that he deserves. What kind of man would take any less? The world took everything he cared about from him - his true love, right down to his last memories of her - it's only just that he should take back in kind.

Randy Healon

I love this piece, i just don't love the vibes LOL

ChampionOfBagels

Do they also have an evil baby crib in their evil nursery adjacent to the evil broom closet?

E Ranger

Almost thought those barrettes were devil horns, like how Tom drew devil Kat 3 years ago.

Thomas Fischbach

Yep, stocked with evil teddy bears, evil pacifiers, and evil diapers. Dyed black, of course.

Coyote

Flora's rockin' that dress.

Blackjack

So good because its so bad.

KaiserDunk

And as a power couple they chained Reni to Trace’s throne.

Idran

or also evil

Idran

this sounds perfect, I love it

Leif

If this one get color i don't think Reni is gonna be solid black anymore. If they are using her as a mana battery they are basically draining her life force. Her scales would be a dull grey, maybe a dark grey but no longer pure obsidian black. Heck, Trace might have figured out how to extend the life of a keidran, by stealing life from a dragon.

ThingsAreMoving

Amazing! Bound Reni really underlines the feeling of 'abandon all hope' radiating from this piece.

JasonAW3

So, where is Nora?

JasonAW3

Who is to say that Reni isn't there voluntarily? Could be a dark side to her that hasn't been explored yet...

silver dragonia

hopefully on the way rescuing reni with an army of dragons and keidran and basitins on their backs

Thisguy

…the first conquest… …Probably used to extend Flora’s life span…

Jake Madden

Nora? Who do you think gave Trace the idea to do all this?

cy

evil smol boobie :P

Kapłan Sekty Pieczarek

I see Keith and Nat as other Templars. Nat would new Spy Templar and Keith would go insane because of magic and would be the most ruthless soldier and their general. Sythe, Raine and Zen are killed because of human and wolves (Keith convince Trace to not kill Nat). Rest of team B would be their agents to infiltrate any resistance against new Templar Order

Thisguy

"Trace, can you siphon the dragon's power to increase my chest size?"

Nitarius

I was not prepared for something so evil after the last sweet sketches this month. However, the result is (unfortunately) fantastic. The scene is impressive. Flora and Trace look so cool as an evil couple. Poor Reni tho. I am sure Nora would voluntary switch with her. For different reasons tho.

Charles Dyer

This one must be redone in full colour.

Idran

the idea of this AU being launched by evil-Nora is such a great one Indigo's writing up above was very good, but so is this

The Sexy Beast

Great art stirs emotions and feelings in people, even if they aren't what they want to feel/should be feeling. Truly one of the best sketches you've done, Tom! Congratulations, Baskerville!

DonnaTheShark

Trace better hope Nora doesn't wake up and find Reni chained like that.

Beck Carmine

It's the kind of thing I hope my suggestions envoke. I love seeing art that people talk about.

The Sexy Beast

She *might* be dead. We saw one of Evil Trace's creations destroy one created by Nora, so it could be that his magic has surpassed hers.

JasonAW3

Unlikely for two reasons; one, she's rather fond of Trace, and it seems to be a mutual feeling, and two, killing Nora would be a major waste of magical potential... But this brings up a canon question; with what happened in the mansion, how long until Nora wakes up from the disturbance of her magics?

JasonAW3

Who knows? Nora might congratulate him...
