And yet there was no pity in the bus driver's eyes.

Gah, I keep changing Marcus' appearance every time I draw him. I keep switching between loving and hating him too. I'll be adding a background to this and neatening up the coloring/shading some time later on. This has been really frustrating to draw since a virus on my laptop causes pen pressure to turn on and off randomly on my tablet.

Anyway, for a little background info, the setting is basically the entrance to a purgatory of sorts and the "bus driver' as Marcus calls him takes on the appearances of those who were closest to the deceased. This is supposed to be comforting, but it basically has the exact opposite effect on Marcus until he realizes they are just illusions and "shatters" their faces. And no, it's not a good thing that there is a second hole punch in Marcus' ticket. The line at the top of the post is not a quote from the story, it just seemed fitting.

Edit:
I added a super quick background. I may or may not change it to a more detailed one later on since I'll be really busy in the upcoming weeks.

@emiiyon
Ah, thank you so much! Your art is beyond astounding, so it means a lot to me that you like this piece!

Aha, I think I almost always draw characters looking overly upset or frightened, it's a bit of a problem actually. I'll admit that Marcus is a really emotional character to write for though, despite the fact that he's a cynical and egotistic jerk most of the time.

Woah. When did you get this good Aibo? xD The emotions are as usual, spot on.
Honestly, epic work here, not to mention how in love I am with your concept. I'm completely intrigued by this story, ackk, I wish you were more willing to share your writing. It's too good to be kept hidden away in some hard-drive.

Thank you so much! I feel like my art style has really hit a standstill for the past year though. OTL

Aha, I'm always happy to cryptically discuss my stories, I just get really nervous about sharing the actual text. I'm glad you like the concept though!
