Pencil colour, 17th March 2026

Started on 04.11.2025 (4th Nov 2025) and finished on 10.12.2025 (10th Dec 2025). Blend of traditional and digital art. Ibis paintX jindabad 🙇.

Would this primordial goddess like this artwork even if the devotee who requested it, doesn't? That's all that fucking matters to me.

Shwet Kali?? Dated 5th Nov 2025. Will be colouring it to make it likable Cause this was a request, not my passion project. But a Redrawing of home deity on request which WASN'T liked or appreciated :). Original one (given below) isn't my work.

"Mollika, winter withers away the soul too. But atleast he's not around this time. And neither are you..." -Probhaboti (Original character). Yep she's lonely. And older. AND PRETTY.

Finished yesterday, 11/12/2025 (11th December 2025). Whew!!! As usual, mix of traditional sketch and digital painting coloured using Ibis paintX. This works better for me. Helps with the art blocks somehow. Okie byee! Dunno what to give for hashtags. My art doesn't get ANY engagement anyways lol. Also, there's ample proof it's my drawing, no ai. The layers, the pencil sketch, the clipboard even, the speedpaint. Amen :")

“The Magnus Archives is a worplace comedy" they said...

FEATURING ELIAS BOUCHARD!!

The timelapse above~ I sketched with pencil and coloured over it digitally. and some experimenting was done as well hehe, Ibis Paint is nicee.

The sketch above.

this was the first idea, which i discarded and did a separate artwork on that.

"The Beholding already had it's 'eyes' on us huh?..." -Jonah Magnus

i assume 10 yr old Jonah wouldn't have known about the Beholding and would definitely be shocked if he saw his older self who's already into working for that Eldritch being.

As for the caption, the fears usually observe someone before marking them i guess. Similarly, The Eye should have observed Jonah too to check for potential.

(historically inaccurate glasses.)

the sketch :)

I usually see two main depictions of Elias Bouchard in the TMA fanarts

saw magnus archives spoilers...

i just started listening to the magnus archives and i am just 4 episodes in, and i came across artworks with HEAVY spoilers in both tumblr and instagram after searching up #tma. and i feel sick- HOW DID THE SERIES END UP SO HEAVY?! damn- seeing the archivist look so miserable and depressed, it feels so very heavy. *sigh* but at least i know i'm in for a GREAT story. will avoid spoilers from now on.

(the artworks were all so damn beautiful thus i couldn't care less about spoilers. but didn't expect it to be so heavy)

"...I insist somebody will die and I hate hoping. Wishing that the pills let you cry and I hate coping..."

Original characters!! Lore is ready but they don't have names yet.

Sketch by traditional art style, colouring using digital painting in IbisxPaint

Technically this would be my first proper digital artwork (excluding the sketch which was done by hand and transferred to the canvas after scanning and increasing contrast). It was fun

"Simple days", OC (original character) featuring the ✨story teller✨. Character outfit designing to be done later.

(Sketch turned out better than finished product 😭)

FINALLY STARTED DOING BROWN SKIN TONE USING COLOUR PENCILSSS

(actually just staring the project on our OSDD lol. Is calling an alter as OC legit?? They literally exist- how is it original? It's not inspired. It's literally same to same.)

That mixed emotion when parents have to go leave after visiting you in hostel-

"Don't forget you are here for a bigger purpose. Home will always remain. This, isn't forever" he said 😭 only acceptable consolation.

Look closely, cover either side of the face, both have different emotions.

The porcelain doll and the human. "Eastward of Eden where men turn to God".

Trust me I had no fucking idea where the doodle was headed when I started with those two faces in the second slide. But I ended up cooking something interesting. :)
