Can I Rest Now? 😭

Look at the sky, Martin. Look at the sky.…It’s looking back.

In celebration of spooky season, have this fanart of the Magnus Archives. It took me a month to make, I redrew the sky completely twice, but it's finally done

Distortion headcanons, you say….? :)

Fractals usually seem to have a pattern where the iterations get infinitely smaller.

However, the hallways and corridors and things within the distortion do not appear to shrink infinitely or anything.

This is only because the person is essentially inside of the distortion and therefore is basically also infinitely shrinking at the same rate as the place around them. To them, nothing appears to change, if that makes any sense-

Also, the “center” of the distortion is probably referring to “C” in the equation for the Mandelbrot set (Zn+1 = Zn^2 + C), which is the starting value for the set.

Uhhhh And Uh uhm er

Mirrors

Y’know that cool effect that happens when you put two mirrors up facing each other? I think that’s why they’re in the distortion.

the shrinking fractal hypothesis is canon now btw. I just made it canon actually. that is the best explanation I’ve read for infinitely branching hallways that isn’t “it’s just like that”

this is why all of you need to go out and adopt math people into your fandoms. see? see the benefits? (yes I work a STEM job. that doesn’t mean I know shit about it)

anyway that unlocked a memory. as a young child I used to sit between two facing mirrors in my house and just stare while moving my arms so they looked all messed up and honestly I think that’s why I’m like This

this art is already so satisfying to look at but fun fold-out formatting unleashes the serotonin gates. pet treat hidden inside a toy type beat.

anyway if I’m correct in assuming that the layered parts fold out, I’d go absolutely feral for a distortion version with opening doors/panels

Made a sketchbook page for Agnes Montague:)

I might do one page/spread for all prominent tma characters (or whichever ones I choose). If you want to see more of that, please tell me! Also, if you want to you can recommend any tma character you want me to do a similar page of!

Poem in English and Arabic:

إذا كان لا بد أن أموت

فعليك أن تحيا

لتقص قصتي

لتبيع أشيائي

لتشتري قطعة قماش

و بضعة خيوط

(لتكون بيضاء بذيل طويل)

حتى طفل في مكان ما في غزة

يحدق بالسماء

ينتظر اباه الذي غادر على عجل

بلا أن يودع أحدًا

حتى جسده

حتى نفسه -

يرى الطائرة الورقية طائرتي التي صنعتها

تحلق عاليا

و يظن لوهلة أن ملاكًا عاليا

يُعيد الحب

إذا كان لا بد أن أموت

لتجعلها تحضر الأمل

لتجعلها قصة

If I must die,

you must live to tell my story

to sell my things

to buy a piece of cloth

and some strings,

(make it white with a long tail)

so that a child, somewhere in Gaza

while looking heaven in the eye

awaiting his dad who left in a blaze-

and bid no one farewell

not even to his flesh

not even to himself-

sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up

above

and thinks for a moment an angel is there

bringing back love

If I must die

let it bring hope

let it be a tale

GET MAGBUCKED

my one valuable contribution to the aggie

saw the fnaf movie this past weekend (twice!) and it was sooooo good i will never recover

here’s doodles of the original 5 ! (i’m also planning on drawing every other character too …👀)

The Magnus Archives TTRPG backerkit is now live!

*saunters up to the Distortion, batting eyelashes* damn, are you a system of differential equations with complex eigenvalues for which the real part is possitive? because you sure are spiral and unstable 🥰
