Sinner is a Silly guy
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.
I’m stealing this to talk about Chaotic Minds AU for a hot sec (because I frankly do not talk about it enough).
Malevolent canon is all about this, humanity, experiencing the worst of it and going “yes, this is what I want”. Chaotic Minds is not that.
CM is about abandoning your humanity. In Malevolent, John is turned to humanity by Arthur, but in CM, Arthur is pulled away from it by Kayne. Of course, this Arthur is Darthur, he already had a bit less humanity. He experienced the worst of it and he *doesn’t want it*. CM is about escapism. It’s finding unhealthy relationships and clinging onto them because they mean you’re not alone.
Sinner is, by their very nature, a toxic relationship. It’s codependency to the highest degree. They use each other to escape from all the pain.
They never want to hurt again and that means giving up their humanity.
Malevolent and the Epic of Gilgamesh take up the same part of my brain
So, can you tell I’ve watched Sonic 3?
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…
Villain!Present Mic. I just love him and I decided I needed to redesign him as a villain.
I draw so many other things that are hot, simp over them, not bird thing lmaooo
The Vast (3/15) “The Neverland”
The Vast (3/15) “Neverland”
The Neverland is a creature which never touches the ground, having stayed in the sky for its entire being, though this does not mean it doesn’t come close to the ground as that is how it gets its victims. The Neverland uses its strong legs and massive talons to snatch up victims when they walk alone. It does not eat them right away, instead tossing and dropping them through the air, devouring their fear before they devour the flesh. It was also known for dive-bombing small planes, ski lifts and gondolas, anything small that moves through the air. When no hunting, it flies among the clouds, the distance from the ground and general silhouette allowing it to disguise itself as a bird. It is likely you have seen the creature but were lucky enough to not walk alone.
New Magnus Archives OC! Vast x Spiral (as decided by polling)
This is Caelum Fairchild (if you ask how to pronounce it he’ll give you a different answer every time). A vast avatar getting caught in a hurricane has an epiphany, spirals are beautiful.
He’s a fashion designer, brand name “Head in the Clouds”. The wing shawl around his shoulders? Yeah that’s an artifact from a failed vast ritual. He just spiced it up.
“I am not a who, archivist, I am a what and what I am is FABULOUS”
They’re both messes that balance each other out.
The thing about jonmartin is that Martin wants to be a romantic, he loves poetry and probably watches romance but for him it is a fantasy, a silly game he plays. Martin is at his core very cynical. Things don't work out for him so he doesn't really belive in romance, it is a pretty dream but that's it. He is pratical and realist. Dating Jon he has to remind himself it is real and he actually struggles with romantic gestures, it is something he has to remind himself to do, to remind himself he can do even and honestly who even has the energy and what if Jon doesn't even like it?
Jon on the other hand wants to be cynical. His first coping mechanism was pretend the things he was afraid of weren't real and goddam if he isn't afraid of love. It didn't really work to him so far so it's easy to pretend he doesn't care. But he is a romantic at heart. He saw love and he read about it and he has enough evidence that it is undeniable. And to be honest Jon was always to much a bunch of mushy feelings hidden in a grumpy (and bitter and afraid) trench coat. Dating Martin he has to hold himself so he isn't too much. He plays the grumpy unromantic guy at first. But he just can't stop giving flowers and planing dates (this is the guy that saw a theme park on a fear domain and considered how he wanted to take Martin to a romantic ferris whell date [until he discovered Martin was afraid of them]) and making all the silly things one does when in love.
TR: Martin is deep down very cynical about love but wants to/pretends to be a romantic and Jon is deep down very romantic but wants to/pretends to be cynical about love.
RAAAAAA
Event Info
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!
