Just finished my final project for my first ever art class! The goal was a self portrait in the style of an artist we admire so I attempted the style of Symphony Sonata and the game Habromania.

Happy Anniversary Archivists!!

Have a Jon “I’m slowly forgetting your face” animatic to celebrate the occasion :D

(sorry if the editing is a lil rough, my laptop where I usually edit everything is broken so I had to figure out how to do it on my phone… srry yall)

But if you’d allow me to yap…

The Magnus archives honestly means so much to me. It is simply such an incredible piece of media and the community that followed it is just as incredible!

The show was introduced to me first by a friend. And I’d like to say that because of it, we’ve grown way closer and I consider him one of my closest friends now (love ya twin @crowbarrrrr)

The Magnus Archives are truly something special and I found them fairly recently compared to others and it really changed my entire perspective of what story telling could ever be.

If you read all of that, thx bro that’s nice of you. Happy anniversary and may love, not fear, always guide your path.

Statement Ends 💚💚💚

"To Yorick or not to Yorick"

I was yesterday years old when I learned that Yorick is actually a reference to the skull in Hamlet. Is this widespread knowledge or am I a genius? (I'm assuming the first)

Regardless, I love Yorick sm. What an icon. **Spoilers** but I think I was more upset when Kayne killed Yorick than Arthur.

Monster concept for my current story wip. My friend pitched the name Jay Walkers, and I thought it was funny, so it's staying until I come up with an actual name (suggestions welcome)

Jay Walkers roam the wastelands known as The Wilds that stretch between the seven Cities. Their skin in leathery and not unlike that of a shark's which can cut you should you brush against it the wrong way. They also secrete an enzyme through their pores and in their saliva that will infect a human should it make its way into their bloodstream

Vague ideas of characters for a vague idea of a world...

Post apocalyptic vibes r just so fun, so I'm messing around trying to make a story take shape. We'll see what happens :P

Working names are: Pip, Tiller, Needle, and Mercury until i figure out who they actually are
