I’m Illi/Mikey aka “Cubi”! Unlabeled, they/them please! Mostly a traditional artist but i also do digital.
I’ve been an artist for over 20 years (since I could hold a pencil)! MCR and related bands/solo projects/comics from them have been my muse as of late.
My blog will mainly be MCR / comic or bandom related with the occasional look into my mind with my ocs or other weird projects.
- commissions can be found here! Please read all info!
- i am open for requests. if you wanna see any member, have a fun prompt, or something based off a fanfic, ask!
- i love talking to people about my process and art! lets grow together!
- dms are welcome, but I most likely won’t chat much if you are under 18!
My art will be tagged to the best of my ability. My rating is 16+ (blood, swearing, non explicit nudity). Please keep that in mind when viewing! I will say most of the time it will not contain much of that or any BUT I will keep viewer discretion.
i feel bad i havent posted art consistently in a very, very long time. its been nearly six months since my mother passed and i have lost my drive for almost everything. not to mention that the dread of being alive, so scared all the time has paralyzed me too.
im trying to do more hobbies like reading or playing pokemon games (firered play through).
if anyone is interested in knowing what im reading im between 3+5 different books.
sandman comics, blood meridian, the heroin diaries, precious metal and a friend got me the book about slash this weekend.
My style has become more painterly both digitally and traditionally. It’s been relaxing (sorry still no MCR, but… I did get a Frank plush and listening to them more so… comeback soon?!)
Here is the entire band. William, Geoffrey, Angel, Øyvind, Cross and James.
If you wanna know more it’s down below
Rosary Guilt is a band from the 80s-90s based out of a small town in Pennsylvania that borders New Jersey. A few high school friends and international students had the idea one day yet they needed money. So, Geoffrey calls up his old baby sitter / family friend. The first EP was created in a basement of William’s home. None of the guys knew what the hell they were doing other than “making noise”.
Most if not all grew up poor, everything was DIY. Yet the band didn’t expect to grow so quickly. Waves through the genre, bringing forth melodies that were haunting.
[music influence is Thursday, Sisters of Mercy, Metallica (self titled), Type O Negative to name a few]
William is the drummer, he was in marching band. He’s 23 and is the “founder”. It always was his dream to be in a band, his mother often encouraged him. He did consider doing it alone but playing anything but drums never felt right. Drumming matched his energy and his restless legs.
Geoffrey is the bassist and lead singer, he’s the baby of the band. He’s 19 and was the last member to join. The band’s pretty boy, it was ideal for him to be the lead. To draw attention to them as well. (People often think his name is Angel. It’s funny when they find out he’s Geoffrey.) His tone and pitch ranges, clean vocals. His regular voice and singing voice often don’t match up and people are surprised.
Angel is the oldest at 28, he was Geoffrey’s babysitter. The lead Guitarist, brought in alongside Geoffrey. He matches the backing vocals, sometimes getting his own spots. He much rather harmonize than do “solo” stuff. The fear of being a front man is what stops him from being lead.
Øyvind, moved to the states after a death in the family and father remarries. He’s originally from Ålesund, it was supposed to be a school visa but the family ultimately stayed with the remarriage. He plays piano/keyboard and very occasional hymn like vocals ranging in pitch. [think the beginning of nymphetamine by cradle of filth] he’s 23.
Cross is originally from Germany. He was an exchange student who lived with Øyvind. The two sharing music was the only way the two could communicate their problems with the churches / organized religion. Cross never shows his actual face, it’s covered or in corpse paint. He’s the one who provides the harps, violins and cello work. He’s 21. Originally in a one man band under “Winter’s Cross”.
Jasper is the last, around 27. He and Angel were in most of the same classes, paired together for projects. This resulted in jam sessions but nothing serious. They aren’t friends but they aren’t enemies either. Angel was popular, Jasper was a jock. The crowds kinda ran similar but you’d find Jasper in back alleys more so. He was the go to for another guitarist because Angel knew his play style and the two would go off another when jamming (neither would admit it was probably the best memories of HS they have). He also provides the growls/screams into the songs.
