A digital painting depicts a split scene with a peaceful landscape on the left and a chaotic, apocalyptic scene on the right. On the left, a large tree with lush green leaves stands atop a grassy hill, its branches swaying gently. A small child in a white dress and sun hat sits under the tree, gazing into the distance. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Floating leaves drift through the air, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. On the right, the scene turns dark and ominous. A massive skeletal figure with long black hair and glowing eyes—Eren Yeager’s Founding Titan—emerges from thick clouds of dust and smoke. Behind it, a legion of towering humanoid Titans with blank expressions march forward, their silhouettes blending into the hazy, storm-like background. The contrast between the two halves of the image emphasizes the duality of peace and destruction. At the bottom, faint text reads "A Dream of Rumbling," reinforcing the theme. Social media icons and the artist’s handle, "@budkalon," are subtly placed on the lower right corner of the image.; art by Budkalon

Dreams of Rumbling

Fanart of "Attack on Titan"

Eren, why are you crying?

I made this fanart as a homage to Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) anime Season 4, Episode 21 (Episode 80 overall), "From You, 2,000 Years Ago." This was my most anticipated episode of the entire anime ever since I first read the manga. Even though the full appearance of Eren's Attack Titan was shown in the last episode of Season 4 Part 2, this episode stood out the most to me.

One of my small comments about the episode is that... I really liked the previous imagery of the Wall Titans standing side by side, interlocking their hands, like in this image. I added my own depiction of why the wall’s gate is the weakest part: there are no Titans there, so the Wall Titans have to hold hands instead of interlocking their elbows. Somehow, that makes them look a little bit... cute, I think. Anyway... yeah.
