My piece for this year's @malevolentbigbang I had a blast working on this piece for @calamitxtum's fic, The Essence of a Soul, can be read here. [ID: An illustration of Arthur, walking on a path next to a crumbling brick wall. He holds a lantern on one hand, which illuminates a rooster-shaped weathervane and a cellar hatch. Behind him, a forest looms in the distance. /End ID] (ID thanks to Jack!)

My part of the Malevolent Big Bang event, an illustration for The Essence of a Soul by Calamitatum! The fic is very hurt/comfort and very much my vibe. Check it out!

Image ID and zoom-ins under cut

[ID: The image is in a portrait orientation, depicting the corner of a room with a smeared chalk pentagram on the ground. Arthur is on his back over the pentagram, his back arched and hands clawing toward his chest, seemingly in pain. Above him are two figures: John and a skeletal beast creature.. John is a shadowy being in a golden cloak with clawed hands and an abstract face with glowing yellow eyes. His entire being is a gradient of dark blue to purple and then pink, dotted with multiple stars. The skeletal beast is facing John and snarling. Its skull is almost canine, its teeth stretched outward and jagged. Its bones are jagged and protruding at its spine, and its ribs are showing at its torso. The bottom of its legs fade into shadow. End ID]

"The skull-splitting blare of trumpets – loud enough to shake the earth, to fill the entire universe. Arthur flinches, the breath punched from his chest, as the King materialises. He drifts above them, his massive crown blotting out the sky, flowing robes of silk and gold rippling out from his body like water as he begins his graceful descent. His face is inscrutable, incomprehensible, his unmoving gaze locked with John’s."

Illustration for The Essence of a Soul by Calamitatum (@calamitxtum on tumblr) featuring a deliciously twisted nightmare scene!

Please check out the fic! It is a beautiful and viscerally written study of John's psyche after accidentally taken over Arthur's entire body, leaving nothing of him behind after stumbling into a ritual site.... So it is up to John alone to get Arthur back!

Thank you so much to @malevolentbigbang for organizing the event! It was a great time!

I am also thankful for my fellow artists in this fic: @physical-manifestation-of-spite and @marimo-art

Image ID: Digital Illustration depicting The King in Yellow towering over Arthur. The presence of the KiY encompasses the scene with a glowing, halo-like crown, evocative of a solar eclipse. Plumes of golden smoke and clouds make up his body, framing the scene. The KiY has monstrous limbs which are tearing Arthur's limbs apart; a giant hand holds his leg and a distorted mass of tentacles holds his arm. Blood gushes from Arthur's arm while he cries and screams in pain. John's hand reaches for a dagger on the floor. /End ID

Hispanic= Spanish speaking

Latino= From latinamerica

A peruvian is latino and hispanic, a Colombian is latino and hispanic.

Someone from Brazil is latino but not hispanic

Someone from spain is hispanic but not latino

I had pepperoni pizza xD

Arthur Lester’s moral philosophy basically boils down to “humanity is fundamentally good and noble and capable of a wonderful things…except for me (irredeemable monster) and everyone who reminds me too much of myself, who need to go die in a hole (preferably by my hand)”

And that’s hilarious

TRUST CEREMONY

Made a little antagonist centered malevolent animatic!

A photo suddenly appears in your pocket. This man... he's almost familiar. Almost.

If I were Kayne, I would task Darkthur with finding the Black Stone too and have him compete with Arthur.

Mentally unstable gasmask man

Detective that witnessed The Horrors™

And a fUCKING OWL

I feel like you should know that your art has singlehandedly inspired me to take up digital art again, do you have any tips for starting out?

Omg thank you so much, that is really wholesome and I am glad to hear I was able to inspire someone! The number one tip I have and it is a very predictable one but IT IS PRATICE! There is no running away from practice! Just keep drawing and YOU WILL SEE AN IMPROVEMENT! However, the way I learned to draw was by looking up a bunch of artists I like online and discovering videos and resources! So I will share here a list of cool and fun youtube channels that helped me over the years and still do to this day! Some of these channels have tutorials, art talk, speedpaints... So hopefully you will find something useful here! ^^ Here's a list: Kienan Lafferty: https://www.youtube.com/@KienanLafferty/videos Sinix Design: https://www.youtube.com/@sinixdesign/videos Marc Brunet: https://www.youtube.com/@YTartschool/videos Atey Ghailan: https://www.youtube.com/@ateyghailan9353/videos Ahmed Aldoori: https://www.youtube.com/@AhmedAldoori/videos Proko: https://www.youtube.com/@ProkoTV/videos Sam Does Arts: https://www.youtube.com/@samdoesarts/videos Kiwi Byrd: https://www.youtube.com/@KiwiByrd/videos ABD Illustrates: https://www.youtube.com/@ABDIllustrates/videos Jenna Drawing: https://www.youtube.com/@JennaDrawing/videos Bluebiscuits: https://www.youtube.com/@bluebiscuits/videos Kaycem: https://www.youtube.com/@KaycemCrew/videos

Just a lil moment of domestic bliss...💛

Arthur: WHAT A FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

John: I don't know...

Malevolent episode dropping early, posting 13th century cringe before I listen to it and get my entire shit wrecked

feels weird to say but arthur lester is the only protagonist i think i've ever genuinely, honestly, no exceptions, rooted for. i just need him to win. literally anything else can happen, i don't care, i need him to win in the end. it can be bittersweet, he can lose as much as he needs to along the way, i just need him to win in the end. he is all the human optimism left within me. if arthur lester wins in the end, hope matters and trying matters and kindness matters. harlan guthrie when i catch you,

He asked for no pickles >:(

Intimidation was more of Parker's route...

magma doodle dump with @trustypaladin ! So very cursed and SO VERY FUN

oh my god finally done with this thing. arthur and john reading a favourite book, and it somehow came out looking like a ~READ!~ poster for a small local library

The Butcher

I'm so glad most people are agreeing that Mr Bonzo is this motherfucker

In a different font. Like I was determined when he was first introduced but now?? After TMP 12????? ITS THE SAME PICTURE!!!!
