Patreon Promotion - Bergt, the Shigu Soldier [Art + Story!]
Hello, dear Vilous fans~!
For today’s update, we would like to feature an artwork crop from Mick’s Patreon as well as a small preview introduction to an incredibly exciting novella snippet tailored for the artwork in order for everyone to enjoy, written by Kiki-UMA!
Here we’ve got the Sergal named Bergt, A pure Northern Sergal which belongs to the Shigu Army! Also, his character concept and design originates from the Vilous Lore Creator, Kiki-UMA! He is one of Kiki’s own Sergals, as well as Lyuca the Northern Sergal scientist!
This concept artwork is based off of Kiki’s initial idea and sketch. Thusly, this piece is a virtual collaborative effort between Kiki and Mick!
— Brief Synopsis —
Bergt, a young Sergal soldier who belongs to Shigu Army, is about to get a drink of water from within the Talyxian biome forest. However, this swamp or lake is of a definite Talyxian origin. Thus, there are a lot of various unidentified Talyxian microorganisms in this water, which can pose many potential high risks on aspects of health and hygiene. Unfortunately, he now seems to have a little bit of difficulty in judging with a clear head whether or not this water is safe for drinking, as he finds himself in a wounded and weakened state.
— Promotion of the Novel-style snippet for the artwork - Bergt’s Story —
Kiki, the Lore Creator in Vilous, is ready to present a novella short work, written by her with a gorgeous amount of detail and exciting underlying story, tailored specifically around the context of the artwork. It features mentions and details surrounding Bergt himself, the Shigu army, the war, and even General Rain herself!
If you support Kiki via her Patreon, you can enjoy reading this short novella, provided as early access for the creator’s supporters. This also includes access to more lore on this artwork, as well as the original concept art piece drawn by Kiki herself, all for you lovely supporters~!
— Teaser of the Story —
Bergt, a soldier who belongs to the Shigu Army, was a very cowardly and young Sergal.
Feeling ashamed of his cowardice, he attempted to go up against a monster which was roaming around the village in order to put his courage to the test. However, his stride weakened, as he found himself not able to move even a step towards the monster. He was stunned, unable to do a single thing outside of watching his fellow village mates get mauled to death by the monster, even when they tried to assist him.
During this ordeal, fortunately, a young Rain Silves who was passing through the nearby area, came to their aid and went on to defeat the monster. Bergt's life was saved by Rain and as a result, he swore allegiance to her. In a small gesture of hospitality, Rain had offered him a cup of Imagoi drink. After that, he aspired to fight bravely as a Shigu soldier under Rain with his utmost respect and loyalty towards her.
When the invasion towards Reono was taking up a full swing, downwards the conquest path, he and his mates who were lead by Rain managed to capture a lot of hunter folk in the Reono region and executed them. He had never doubted this act, believing that all of them were taking the right course of action. Other youths were of the same mindset. As he hurt a lot of people, he also received many wounds. However, he was already beyond any notion of fear. His heart was always with the General. As such, he shivered with a great sense of satisfaction. Bergt had won over himself, conquering his inner fear and cowardice by virtue of brave combat, and as he let loose a loud shout, it sounded akin to a victorious cry.

— Artwork aspect —
With regards to the artwork aspect and aesthetic, this piece is quite interesting experiment in Mick’s artwork and skill, as it features such a fantastic, Anime-style flavor!
In fact, Anime-style coloring and shading was quite a difficult matter for Mick to pin down due to personal reasons.
However, she has eventually found a unique and stylish blend of Anime-style colors and hues which fit Vilous. Here, we can see her new style in practice, throughout the fragments of this work-in-progress piece!
This image is a trimmed version. Mick’s $5+ Patreon supporters can enjoy access to all of the wips and progress of this artwork, including the full drawing of Bergt himself!
[For all patreon supporters post and Pre-viewing the WIP of lineart + sketched background!]
[+$5 patreon supporters post and Pre-viewing the WIP of the full drawing of Bergt!]
Recently, Mick has been focusing on providing more Patreon updates, not just the HD version of the manga.
Patrons will be able to gain early access to the latest artworks of the Vilous universe, as well as some permanent Patreon-exclusive entries!
And of course, do not forget that Kiki’s Patreon provides the original concept sketch as well as the exciting novella telling the detailed story on this artwork!
