Butcher and Darthur if they were partners

Seems like the first adopt will be Flesh x Spiral! A rather interesting combination.

If you would like to possibly pre-claim, comment below! Expect updates soon 😉

Well, I’ve decided to make the next combo avatar an adopt! This means they will be available for purchase. I’ll decide once fully finished but the price will likely be between $30-$40 based on the time and complexity of the design. Once again, this will be a poll. So…

Awww, thank you! I’ll actually give you another aspect to him that I discussed with my friends.

One of the people he hunted was a mother with an intense love for her daughter. He killed her and made a mask out of her without much thought. However, her love was so strong that it transferred into the mask and onto him. He now feels compelled by motherly instinct to take care of the child. Baby is now his and he does what he can to take care of her because some part of him feels love. Mother is actually the mask he is wearing on top of his head and is the one that gets used most often. Baby adores Theater and is very good with him.

They go see shows together.

The new combo avatar is complete! Say hello to Theater, the combination of the Stranger and the Hunt!

This charming fella was once an archeologist and anthropologist for the British Museum. While on an excavation, he discovered a wolf mask and decided to study it. What he did not know was this particular mask was the product of a Stranger avatar when they stole the flesh from a Hunt avatar. Both fears ended up melding into the mask and he became corrupted by it.

Now, he is known as an abomination by all avatars. He hunts down his prey using the masks, acting as a master of disguise. Each prey becomes another mask. He takes on the form as well as a bit of the personality of the mask he wears. Though…when he started hunting other avatars, that changed things.

Now, he can use aspects of the avatar’s abilities in his hunting. Different styles for different avatars. He does not become an avatar for the fears of the masks, but he can use some of their power and fighting style. So far, the fears he has masks of are the Dark, the Slaughter, and the Corruption.

He is not to be trifled with.

If I did adopts or commissions specifically of Magnus Archives related things, would yall be interested? (Think avatars and creatures based on the fears. A few examples below)

Congrats, you got your wish

Been a while since I’ve done this so…what fears should I combine into an avatar? Top two will be chosen to be mixed. I’m going to take off the fears that have already been used. So far we’ve had:

- Vast/Spiral

- Vast/Buried

- Flesh/Dark

Stranger or corruption, next vote shall decide

I think this is, oddly, one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve read

A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. “Do I look like a fool?” said the frog. “You’d sting me if I let you on my back!”

“Be logical,” said the scorpion. “If I stung you I’d certainly drown myself.”

“That’s true,” the frog acknowledged. “Climb aboard, then!” But no sooner than they were halfway across the river, the scorpion stung the frog, and they both began to thrash and drown. “Why on earth did you do that?” the frog said morosely. “Now we’re both going to die.” 

“I can’t help it,” said the scorpion. “It’s my nature.”

___

…But no sooner than they were halfway across the river, the frog felt a subtle motion on its back, and in a panic dived deep beneath the rushing waters, leaving the scorpion to drown.

“It was going to sting me anyway,” muttered the frog, emerging on the other side of the river. “It was inevitable. You all knew it. Everyone knows what those scorpions are like. It was self-defense.”

___

…But no sooner had they cast off from the bank, the frog felt the tip of a stinger pressed lightly against the back of its neck. “What do you think you’re doing?” said the frog.

“Just a precaution,” said the scorpion. “I cannot sting you without drowning. And now, you cannot drown me without being stung. Fair’s fair, isn’t it?”

They swam in silence to the other end of the river, where the scorpion climbed off, leaving the frog fuming.

“After the kindness I showed you!” said the frog. “And you threatened to kill me in return?”

“Kindness?” said the scorpion. “To only invite me on your back after you knew I was defenseless, unable to use my tail without killing myself? My dear frog, I only treated you as I was treated. Your kindness was as poisoned as a scorpion’s sting.”

___

…“Just a precaution,” said the scorpion. “I cannot sting you without drowning. And now, you cannot drown me without being stung. Fair’s fair, isn’t it?”

“You have a point,” the frog acknowledged. “But once we get to dry land, couldn’t you sting me then without repercussion?”

“All I want is to cross the river safely,” said the scorpion. “Once I’m on the other side I would gladly let you be.”

“But I would have to trust you on that,” said the frog. “While you’re pressing a stinger to my neck. By ferrying you to land I’d be be giving up the one deterrent I hold over you.”

“But by the same logic, I can’t possibly withdraw my stinger while we’re still over water,” the scorpion protested.

The frog paused in the middle of the river, treading water. “So, I suppose we’re at an impasse.”

The river rushed around them. The scorpion’s stinger twitched against the frog’s unbroken skin. “I suppose so,” the scorpion said.

___

A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. “Absolutely not!” said the frog, and dived beneath the waters, and so none of them learned anything.

___

A scorpion, being unable to swim, asked a turtle (as in the original Persian version of the fable) to carry it across the river. The turtle readily agreed, and allowed the scorpion aboard its shell. Halfway across, the scorpion gave in to its nature and stung, but failed to penetrate the turtle’s thick shell. The turtle, swimming placidly, failed to notice.

They reached the other side of the river, and parted ways as friends.

___

…Halfway across, the scorpion gave in to its nature and stung, but failed to penetrate the turtle’s thick shell.

The turtle, hearing the tap of the scorpion’s sting, was offended at the scorpion’s ungratefulness. Thankfully, having been granted the powers to both defend itself and to punish evil, the turtle sank beneath the waters and drowned the scorpion out of principle.

___

A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. “Do I look like a fool?” sneered the frog. “You’d sting me if I let you on my back.”

The scorpion pleaded earnestly. “Do you think so little of me? Please, I must cross the river. What would I gain from stinging you? I would only end up drowning myself!”

“That’s true,” the frog acknowledged. “Even a scorpion knows to look out for its own skin. Climb aboard, then!”

But as they forged through the rushing waters, the scorpion grew worried. This frog thinks me a ruthless killer, it thought. Would it not be justified in throwing me off now and ridding the world of me? Why else would it agree to this? Every jostle made the scorpion more and more anxious, until the frog surged forward with a particularly large splash, and in panic the scorpion lashed out with its stinger.

“I knew it,” snarled the frog, as they both thrashed and drowned. “A scorpion cannot change its nature.”

___

A scorpion, not knowing how to swim, asked a frog to carry it across the river. The frog agreed, but no sooner than they were halfway across the scorpion stung the frog, and they both began to thrash and drown.

“I’ve only myself to blame,” sighed the frog, as they both sank beneath the waters. “You, you’re a scorpion, I couldn’t have expected anything better. But I knew better, and yet I went against my judgement! And now I’ve doomed us both!”

“You couldn’t help it,” said the scorpion mildly. “It’s your nature.” 

___

…“Why on earth did you do that?” the frog said morosely. “Now we’re both going to die.”

“Alas, I was of two natures,” said the scorpion. “One said to gratefully ride your back across the river, and the other said to sting you where you stood. And so both fought, and neither won.” It smiled wistfully. “Ah, it would be nice to be just one thing, wouldn’t it? Unadulterated in nature. Without the capacity for conflict or regret.”

___

“By the way,” said the frog, as they swam, “I’ve been meaning to ask: What’s on the other side of the river?”

“It’s the journey,” said the scorpion. “Not the destination.”

___

…“What’s on the other side of anything?” said the scorpion. “A new beginning.”

___

…”Another scorpion to mate with,” said the scorpion. “And more prey to kill, and more living bodies to poison, and a forthcoming lineage of cruelties that you will be culpable in.”

___

…”Nothing we will live to see, I fear,” said the scorpion. “Already the currents are growing stronger, and the river seems like it shall swallow us both. We surge forward, and the shoreline recedes. But does that mean our striving was in vain?”

___

“I love you,” said the scorpion.

The frog glanced upward. “Do you?”

“Absolutely. Can you imagine the fear of drowning? Of course not. You’re a frog. Might as well be scared of breathing air. And yet here I am, clinging to your back, as the waters rage around us. Isn’t that love? Isn’t that trust? Isn’t that necessity? I could not kill you without killing myself. Are we not inseparable in this?”

The frog swam on, the both of them silent.

___

“I’m so tired,” murmured the frog eventually. “How much further to the other side? I don’t know how long we’ve been swimming. I’ve been treading water. And it’s getting so very dark.”

“Shh,” the scorpion said. “Don’t be afraid.”

The frog’s legs kicked out weakly. “How long has it been? We’re lost. We’re lost! We’re doomed to be cast about the waters forever. There is no land. There’s nothing on the other side, don’t you see!”

“Shh, shh,” said the scorpion. “My venom is a hallucinogenic. Beneath its surface, the river is endlessly deep, its currents carrying many things.” 

“You - You’ve killed us both,” said the frog, and began to laugh deliriously. “Is this - is this what it’s like to drown?” 

“We’ve killed each other,” said the scorpion soothingly. “My venom in my glands now pulsing through your veins, the waters of your birthing pool suffusing my lungs. We are engulfing each other now, drowning in each other. I am breathless. Do you feel it? Do you feel my sting pierced through your heart?”

“What a foolish thing to do,” murmured the frog. “No logic. No logic to it at all.”

“We couldn’t help it,” whispered the scorpion. “It’s our natures. Why else does anything in the world happen? Because we were made for this from birth, darling, every moment inexplicable and inevitable. What a crazy thing it is to fall in love, and yet - It’s all our fault! We are both blameless. We’re together now, darling. It couldn’t have happened any other way.”

___

“It’s funny,” said the frog. “I can’t say that I trust you, really. Or that I even think very much of you and that nasty little stinger of yours to begin with. But I’m doing this for you regardless. It’s strange, isn’t it? It’s strange. Why would I do this? I want to help you, want to go out of my way to help you. I let you climb right onto my back! Now, whyever would I go and do a foolish thing like that?”

“Be logical,” said the scorpion. “If I stung you I’d certainly drown myself.”  

“That’s true,” the frog acknowledged. “Come aboard, then!” But no sooner had the scorpion mounted the frog’s back than it began to sting, repeatedly, while still safely on the river’s bank.

The frog groaned, thrashing weakly as the venom coursed through its veins, beginning to liquefy its flesh. “Ah,” it muttered. “For some reason I never considered this possibility.”

“Because you were never scared of me,” the scorpion whispered in its ear. “You were never scared of dying. In a past life you wore a shell and sat in judgement. And then you were reborn: soft-skinned, swift, unburdened, as new and vulnerable as a child, moving anew through a world of children. How could anyone ever be cruel, you thought, seeing the precariousness of it all?” The scorpion bowed its head and drank. “How could anyone kill you without killing themselves?”

This is actually something I considered when designing my Manager.

Some things I kept in mind with my manager was to make sure he paralleled my Kayne. My Kayne can split his face apart as a “mouth”, so I knew my Manager would not allow it to open. He doesn’t want to be scary, to be a monster, so he will do anything to keep it closed, even stapling his face closed. I also wanted it to look like he’s slightly nervous, like his smile isn’t completely happy. I also wanted his teeth to look “perfect” like he’s too strict with himself.

The Manager is deeply restrictive of himself and I wanted that to come across in his design.

Did y'all hear how the Manager kept choking off his laughs every time they got too loud or too genuine, refusing to sound like Kayne? Did y'all hear how he kept suppressing pieces of his nature out of fear and shame, even if those pieces were full of joy or comfort? Did y'all hear how he kept rushing to kill the parts of himself that he hates?

Lmaooo, well, he is supposed to be unsettling

I forgot! Da Capo is out so I can finally post my design for the manager.

(Kayne and manager side by side under the cut)

The boyyysssss

Oh sure! So, one thing about my Kayne design is that he’s a lot more monstrous than he appears.

His true mouth is hidden in the split down his face. Because the manager is trying to be more stable, he “staples” that mouth shut.

Happy Malevolversary!

Kayne: Congrats on 5 years, Artie!

Arthur: 5 years on what?

Kayne: The podcast!

Arthur: What?

Sharp or soft is the plight of every artist. I always spend the longest on it too. So many intricate colors

Hello! I just wanted to say that I recently found your art and fell in love with it. I loved it so much that I ended up doing an art study on your coloring style. Figured I’d show you!

Yes, it is Bill Cipher lol

Thank you for all of the delicious art.

OH OMG thats so sick!!!!

truly honored you wanted to do a study on my colouring style omg ausydhkuashd he looks so good 😭

I can tell! All of your work is amazing. I’m actually going to try to incorporate a few of the techniques I used for the study into my own pieces, especially the skin.

Of course! Your art is gorgeous. This is definitely the longest I’ve ever spent on a stylized portrait though lol. You’re definitely a trouper for coloring like this so much 🫶

I decided to try something completely different from my normal and do an art study of my current favorite artist @blackberreh-art . I just fell in love with the way they used color and wanted to get better at it myself. So, I used my Bill Cipher design to do it. He has a lot of color I don’t normally use so I figured it’d work well with the study.

Final time is 5hrs and 30mins. I seriously suggest going to check out Blackberreh’s art. It’s all stunning.

The Hunt (7/15) “Ringing Bell”

This is a creature of the Hunt, but it is not something that hunts, but instead feeds on predators, turning their fear against them. This creature is categorized by its ability to mimic the appearance and noises of a lamb and can be found anywhere livestock are common. This creature does not often feed on human fear and actually primarily feeds on the fear of predators like hawks, wolfs, mountain lions, or coyotes. Its main tactic is to lure predators in. It stands in open fields and mimics the cries of a lost, injured lamb. Once a predator is close enough, it changes tactics and chase down the predator, capturing and killing them, feasting on their body. However, just because it usually feeds on the fear of animals, does not mean it doesn’t go after human hunters as well. Legends are often told between farmers of hearing the cries of a lamb with the soft ringing of a bell off in the distance. They warn of never following the noise because you either come back afraid or in a body bag. Poachers usually fall into the later. Anything that hunts it becomes fair game.

The hunter becomes the hunted.

John in the dreamlands

Good question! Sinner does not have any direct connection to Azathoth. Their godly abilities are based on the fact that they are part Nyarlathotep (the crawling chaos) and Arthur (the music part). The escapism comes from the idea that they fall into each other, abandoning reality for the ecstasy that is being a god.

Sinner redesign! I just wasn’t vibe with the original design so I kicked it up a notch to make these two!

For those who are unaware, Sinner is an entity for my Malevolent AU, Chaotic Minds. In this AU, instead of the focus being John and Arthur, it’s Kayne and Darthur. Arthur in this AU becomes LESS human, eventually leading to the two merging into one, becoming the god of chaos, music, and escapism, Sinner. Feel free to ask questions!

lol, feel free to message me and we can chat about it. I’ll give you all the gorey details
