in sickness, and in despair [ART]

Summary:

Edelgard + Hegemon Husk illustration drawn for Fódlan Frights 2025

Notes:

Hello OrzhovMarkhov, surprise I am your gifter for Fódlan Frights this year! 👻

You were probably expecting a fic but I hope you will still like this. When I saw your request, I immediately thought of Hegemon Husk and since I've never drawn her, I thought this was the perfect opportunity, her design is so grotesque, I love it.

Hope you'll like this c:

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

[alt text: An illustration of Hegemon Husk and Edelgard from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, post-timeskip.

In a dark and abstract environment, Edelgard is climbing stairs to meet a gigantic Hegemon Husk who is rising above the stairs, only her head from the collar up is visible with her huge sharp clawed hands reaching out for Edelgard. Hegemon's face is dimly lit up from underneath, her red eyes intensely glowing and expressionlessly staring at Edelgard, she's offering her hand for Edelgard to take while her other hand is slowly about to enclose on Edelgard's body. Edelgard is apprehensive, she's looking over her shoulder at the viewer, in a long red dress, one hand accepting Hegemon's hand, the other dragging a bloodied Aymr behind.]

Notes:

I wanted to draw Edelgard accepting her union/fusion/transformation into the Hegemon Husk like it was a wedding ceremony, it ended up not be as obvious as I wanted haha
Despite reaching for Hegemon's hand, Edelgard looks over her shoulder, still hopeful someone will talk her out of it...

Thank you mods for hosting this Horror Exchange and Happy Halloween!
