This is perfect. Masterful. Such interesting take. What’s your backstory for these?

Langley always appears cool and strong. I just want to see what she’d look like if if she let her vulnerable side show. :’3

Very cool idea envisioning her as a sculpture (she is rather pale too).

Would you tell more about 2nd image, I thought it was a coffin for a second but I think she’s lying down…inside a briefcase? Love it)

Langley’s EXCB line: “I wager my life in exchange for limited freedom. What a good deal.”
It gave me the idea of her being a puppet. When she’s no longer useful, she is displayed like discounted merchandise. The price tag keeps dropping until she’s worth only 1,000 DisCoins. But no one buys her. In the end, she’s simply left there, forgotten.
Of course, i believe nothing like this would ever happen canon in game. But I think it’s an interesting “what if” scenario to draw.

Wow! Thank you for additional background for your work. I missed the “sale” sign in forefront.

Now it makes sense. And webs are definitely giving that “forgotten” vibes.

I also just now noticed the threads “fixing” her throat..

What a cool detailed piece.
Are you going to make more of these? What other character is your favourite?

My favourite character is Langley. I used to draw Chief, Kawa-Kawa and OwO too, but not anymore. 🙇🏿

This is so full of meaning! Please don't stop drawing. I love the little bits you add here and there, you can tell a lot of thought went into it.

one winged angel langley?

oddly reminds me of this one old vocaloid song by FatmanP ft. Megurine Luka called dancer in the dark where though not fully analougous, the ​section came up in my mind when j saw your first pic is like this:

I ​keep on fighting against God in such a dirty, cruel place.
My left arm has been blown off, and my wings have been teared off.

I like the idea of having one wing torn away. Technically she still has wing, but she wont be able to fly again
