absolutely fantastic, the way you drew Laurence is perfect. The little details about Micolash had me laughing with his shoes untied and him holding all the books like a teacher's pet, he looks so proud its crazy how much character is shown XD The beckoning of the moon was amazing. 10/10 I hope you never stop making these.

[@lionguy8959]

@@magicalcube589micolash lead the school of mensis while Laurence did his thing, the beckoning of the moon probably lead to everything. The moon presence probably drove micolash mad and urged him to create the nightmare of mensis which he forced all others into in order to steal away and essentially torture Mergo as the moon presence hates the other great ones, with gherman lost to the dream, and micolash lost to madness, Laurence broke and all of it hit him at once, understanding his master’s warnings, and realizing it was too late to stop it, so he committed suicide in a way by injecting himself with the blood he so proudly used turning him into a beast, and I believe the powder keg hunters did him in while the church’s corruption took over

[@BerylRamadhian]

This is actually a gem, best Bloodborne's lore depictions i've ever found, and those illustrations are 10/10, i really love your works !!

[@RaquelCornejo]

Thank you so much friend!! ^_^

[@Lisspeed]

This is absolutely stunning, I love your style and all the little details you put into this. As weird as it may sound, I especially love the picture with Laurence crying, with all the IFs, blood and bandages attached to him. I always thought that the whole blood thing did more to him than just transforming, I like to think he began to regret his decision somewhere near the end, but didn't want people to think his ideas had been bad all along. Another thing I always thought was that it made him extremely ill, like EXTREMELY ill, to a point that he became bound to a wheelchair, which is why he has such weak legs once transformed into that Beast.

[@RaquelCornejo]

Woah! Thank you for your comments! ^_^ ^_^

[@ahuman404]

I know this comment is very old and that you might've noticed this small detail by now but...Laurence's legs are shown to have been impaled by nails, so maybe he was almost to be crucified like the other beasts we find burning on crosses?

[@Lisspeed]

@@ahuman404 I always headcanoned this as well!! I think it was a combination of multiple things.

[@aegonthedragon7303]

More than likely he was killed (beheaded) by Brador before his corpse was set alight and then nailed up like what happened with the Blood Starved Beasts in Old Yharnam.

[@benhramiak8781]

1:47 this is why Laurence is my favorite character, he tried to help people and had good intentions, but fell and fell far.

[@arteriacoronaria6058]

Well Laurence intentions whe dont really now if they where good because of what happend in old yharman there is a big change that the healing church poisend the river under old yharman with the diseace ashen blood. So that he could sell his cure the blood and the white pills that you can find. I hope that he didnt poisend the city. but what whe do know is that he gave the order to burn the city to cinders "unless he already died by this point". You cant forget that old yharman was the orignal yharman. And i think that his intentions where only about welth using the poor yharmans to make the healing church rich. You can also not forget that the first hunters hunted under the cover off night to keep the beasts hidden for the public and perhaps they even killed people that werent beasts yet to protect the city. personnely i think that Laurance was kicked of the throne of the healing church very early. And that other people took charge of the healing church. Yet there are many things that whe dont know about Laurance. But i think that he got what he diserved he knew what the blood could do but he kept giving it

[@Ultimate_Utopian]

I love how in the world of Bloodborne, there is a thin layer of hair between man and beast, it makes it even more compelling, especially when high-regarded hunters fall under the scourge of the beasts.

[@miklosz4162]

Wow, it seems that while traversing the infinity of KZbin I came across a real treasure for a Bloodborn fan like me. It hurts me to see how few views it has gained in four years, I hope that good blood will lead other fans of this great game to this masterpiece, and the video will get the attention it deserves!

[@psychoamnesia1]

bro laurence is so underrated, he’s one of my favorite character and even if i think he is to blame, master willem, byrgenwerth & the school of mensis are 100000% more to blame than him. at least he tried to help

[@orion9630]

I honestly feel similar

[@ahmedabdullah6779]

Same is here , way less people sympathies or admires him compared to vendrik and gwyn from dark souls when these two was only about ruling , yet laurence was a student more genuis than his mentor and he took a step forward (william choice here strikes me as the ending were you let german kills you , you solved nothing only made a step for someone after you to complete) , and the consequnecss were severe , if it was good laurence would be a hero , he was a vicar who made the healing church , a scholar , and a powerful ruler who made yharnam surpass cainhurst (which before him for ages these two didn't even compared , cainhurst was always in the front by miles) , and when beast started to appear he founded a good system to make it better , if there were three umbilical cord maybe things would be very different for him

[@lone_digger_2357]

Wow I love your art fits perfectly Bloodborne.

[@benhramiak8781]

2:38 i wish we'd seen this scene in game.

[@RaquelCornejo]

It would have been great...

[@lssjdogz1325]

I know this is somewhat old but I keep coming back to this. This is TOP tier and so well done. The character of Laurence has impacted me really hard and I really love how well this animation interprets him perfectly. Plus his boss theme helps solidify the emotions throughout the animation. Such an excellent track, so good, so tragic, it enough to make a man sick. Really well done, your father Gascoigne one was good too :)

[@RaquelCornejo]

I have loved your words, I am very glad that you liked it! Next will be Gehrman's. ^_^

[@Apfelsine78]

[@aeronauticalginger6177]

This is absolutely fantastic! I love it how you put Micolash next to Wilhem and Laurence, then in Gherman's workshop, so on point.

[@bigpigeon2384]

Really great work but small detail you missed is that Brador wouldn’t have the beast hide Armor yet cause he made it out of Laurence’s corpse

[@RaquelCornejo]

I wanted to emphasize that Brador was the executor of Laurence. So I left the original Brador clothes in the game ... but I think it was not a good idea because it confused... U_U since Brador has the skin of Laurence. Thanks for the comment! ^_^

[@GzusRm]

I think everyone would've notice who he was just by his bloodletter, no hide needed. Amazing work anyways

[@Shakhmatov_GAMES]

@@RaquelCornejo don't worry, I don't think Brador wears Laurence's skin anyway. The head of that Cleric Best seems to be too small to be Laurence's one. Even if he killed Laurence when he became a beast, that's not Laurence's skin. So your representation was accurate 👍🏻

Sad to see how him and Ludwig were handled in the dlc. Ludwig in a horse dog hybrid with rabies who turns into a int build and lawrence became firesage cleric beast

[@redsol3629]

This is ART! 🥀 After watching this video again I realise the hypocrisy of those spurring on your hunt when they also partake of the blood.

[@frohawk8465]

Seeing Bardor fight Laurence reminds me of one theory I heard that Laurence in the waking world is the headless bloodletting beast, and his self regret turned himself into the burning cleric beast we fight in the dlc. I love how this makes me feel really bad for Laurence. He tried to do something good, and it backfired. And he would have been burning for eternity if we hadn’t ended the nightmare.

This is awesome. I don't know if this was your intention, but I think it's cool how your art kind of goes along with his boss theme. When the beast scourge begins, the music becomes more intense. When the Moon Presence is beckoned, the music is sinister and forboding. When he is crying and when he becomes a cleric beast, the music sounds kind of tragic to me. Again, Idk if this was on purpose, but regardless I still think its pretty cool and the art itself is amazing. Great video!

[@RaquelCornejo]

I love that you ask me that question. Knowing the lore, I try to imagine the scenes in my head. When I have the ideas, I put the music and at the moment I make the sketches in small format. And this way it is easier to fit my ideas with music ^_^

I'm 2 year too late for this but your art, not just for Laurence but for every character I've seen you draw, has been absolutely spot on. Any word of praise I can give you would be mere drops in the ocean by this point. I'm a particular fan of Laurence's artwork; I love how well-looking you've made him to translate how charismatic and manipulative he was as well as the regretful, sorry side of him. Complete perfection; I love it. Would you happen to have good quality links to these? I don't mind admitting that I love to leaf through them while researching lore and using them as bases for my horrible writing haha. I don't use these in public for my own gain of course; would never think of this.
