Caido Art - Blog Posts

Your capricious nature makes you unfit to be king! It's time to end this childish reign of terror!

Veterans / folks who kept up with the backstage blog (temporarily down, will come back in a different form) might remember these two. It's actually the first time in years that I've drawn them, and the first time I've drawn them full body. 26 and 6 are something like counterparts to 85 and 64.

To make a long story short, a rival entity to Caido, known as Lady Grief, usurped Caido's rule for a time ages ago. During that period, she used some of the negativity she had siphoned off of Caido's crown to create Others of her own, creating 26 and 6 who are embodiments of jealousy and envy respectively.

Of the two brothers, 26 is most invested in defeating Caido and securing Lady Grief's rule over the Nth Dimension. On the other hand, 6 has become apathetic towards this goal, and is now a begrudging participant in this cyclic war over multiple timelines and multiple time loops.

Beyond that, their relationship with their counterparts is also different. 26 loathes 85 almost as much as he does Caido, obsessing over his counterpart and seeking his defeat, but only if it can be brought about by his hand. 6 on the other hand is mostly apathetic towards 64, finding his existence annoying when he remembers 64 exists at all.

Fun little side note is that those badges have a crossed out third eye as their emblem. A third eye (paired with four arms) is a symbol of divinity. In this case, a crossed out third eye is basically shorthand for opposing Caido's rule.
