Driven By Competition

The idea behind it was a little abstract in its own right, and needs a bit of explaining. A boudoir was traditionally the lady of the house's private sitting chambers. More of a product of the Victorian Era, it included things like her mirrors, her dressers, or was sometimes the room in the house all to herself where she could get away and not be anyone other than herself. In this case, I have turned the concept to the private feelings about each of my set of Mewthrees inherent flaws, whether towards themselves, or in the belief that it rests with others (which in the case of Mewblade and her siblings, the blame is shifted from the individual to her instead, even though the fault doesn't lie with her).

This is the sixth image of the seven, with my Mewthree, Vicebane and his immortal sister, Mewblade. Vicebane is motivated by one thing and only one thing, to be the best, and especially better than his sister. Even when she defeated him he vowed that someday, whenever and wherever it would happen to be, he would show her who was to lead, and who was to follow. He'd spend all eternity just getting her back for the moment she ended him. So in his little room, the blackened void of spite that is his mind, is where he plots forever and a day, his only goal to make Mewblade's existence a miserable hell. He is the better one, and he'll make her regret even the very day she was born to prove it.

All of the images have the exact same background of rich colors and fancy patterns and textures. Something I like indulging in. Busy, rich and a show of my asinine eye for detail. Debated on individualizing the backgrounds a bit, but decided against so I could keep the theme the same. (This is the one image where having a red background was a very bad idea, since it is hard to contrast Vicebane against it.)
For Vicebane I wanted to show the disconnect between the pair, him pouting and basically being insignificant to Mewblade's Legendary magnificence (though she is rarely this smug). Usually I display him as confident, which he mostly is, but he has such a profound inferiority complex when comparing himself to her. Because of how obsessive and cruel he was in his pursuit of besting her, that when he finally got a grip of Mewblade she later developed several phobias, post traumatic stress disorder induced amnesia, along with a host of other psychological problems, all thanks to him. She later murdered her other siblings, convinced that they were all terrible copies of Vicebane. To say the least, he is good at something, that being a thing Mewblade will never want to beat him at.
