More old Malevolent fanart! Inspired by a poster from the Frankenstein movie (2025). The monster kept reminding me of John:)

I forgot to post my magnum opus across my blogs so here it isssss

Based on the Pieta sculpture by Michelangelo. I think. Make sure to tap/click to look at details, I spent a long time on this only for various social medias to eat the quality

Kayne is the Tower — the great and terrible change, the destruction of all that is known to make room for a blank page. He's portrayed in front of Azathoth's Obelisk in Arkham, wearing Azathoth's grin and the wings he's fashioned from the skins of various Arthur Lesters. He's also posed referencing The Bat Woman by Albert Joseph Pénot, a painting popular with enjoyers of the occult.

This was actually the first in the series that I made! It was a wonderful chance to both draw Kayne for the first time and dip my toes into this blackout comic style, something that I've become rather fond of since trying it out here. I wanted to specifically capture this moment for the Tower because it's not just Kayne acting as the Tower(intending to destroy everything) but EXPERIENCING it as well — all of his own well-laid plans to take the place of Azathoth have been utterly destroyed, leaving him with - in his mind - only one option left. He was such a fascinating antagonist to follow while we had him.

John is Death — a slow and gentle change, evolution rather than true death, and has a much worse reputation than he deserves, even if he can be painful to endure at times. He's portrayed in the Dark World approaching the Bone Citadel, carrying a banner as the classic Rider-Waite Death card does; his depicts the Yellow Sign, torn as he no longer identifies himself as the King but still carried as he carries the memory of it, accepting who he's become without discarding the memory of who he once was.

This was a tricky one! I was unsure of what to do with the Dark World for a while, especially since it has such a varied landscape, but I ended up leaving this part of it as a sandy, ashy waste to focus on the cathedral and John. At some point in the future I'd like to revisit the Dark World and some of its horrors, but for now this satisfied me.

Can't believe I forgot to post these! This is one of a small series of tarot-inspired pieces I did :)

Arthur is the Chariot — relentlessly driven, focused in his goals. He has the tools he needs to achieve what he sets out to do. He's portrayed on the carriage used in S5 in England, lighting the way forward through uncertainty. At his side is Alia's slate with her message and in the distance Lilith circles relentlessly. Yellow and purple were picked for his main colors to connect to the entities who've sat in the passenger seat with him, Yellow/John and Lilith.

And for comedic purposes he's also John's chariot, in a way.

These pieces were originally for a gift exchange but they turned into a style experiment that I had a lot of fun with, and while I don't normally do comic-style blackout shading much I think it's a style I'll come back to at some point. This was the hardest one to plan for since I was having a hard time adapting the Rider-Waite style Chariot card to fit the vibe properly. Ultimately this is what I came up with and I cannot be happier with it.

Happy belated birthday to @asthecrowtries! You're in good company because I also missed Arthur's birthday. Here's some softness and some stars for you both 💜

be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now

Hello Jon, Apologies for the Confection.

[rqbossman]

I try to avoid shitposting in general but sometimes people deserve recognition for their genius.

[this-too-shall-bleed]

Hello hi happy new years guys, sorry for disappearing. Life has been insurmountably hectic! I hope to engage a little more this year.

In other news, I’ve just released a huge update, and perhaps final (actually this time) to my Malevolent fangame, D.S. al fine

I’ve been hard at work for a while because I’ve been putting together a VOICE ACTED MODE for the game! When Harlan played it on stream earlier in 2025 he offered to voice it-- how could I pass on that?!

This along with some other fun additions concludes this project of mine. D.S. al Fine now has voice lines by none other than Harlan Guthrie himself! HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported it as I've navigated this first little project of mine and of course @malevolentcast!!!

check out the game here...

You Are Not Immune To fanart of characters who die in canon that has them alive and well, with scars from the wound that originally killed them

[peacevine]

[mintymuses-podcast-edition]

Love being a fan of Arthur Malevolent because he has so many scars and has died so many times that it's impossible to tell which has been a lethal injury in fanart

[world-enough-and-timerogue]

my fav relationship ship dynamic is where it doesn't matter if you call it platonic or romantic or queerplatonic because they always act the same in every type of relationship. and the way they act? fucking weird.

[dearest-love2410-deactivated202]

I love media where the underlying message is to be kind , even if it isn’t the main plot.

I love media where the underlying message is that you are not the worst mistake you made and you are not the worst thing that happened to you

I love media where the underlying message is that people can change for the better

I love media that’s like love, actually is all around us

I love media that’s like “we can’t save anyone.” “we can always try.”

[starrygatorr]

characters who are actually two characters are so important to me. d.i.d. doppelgängers. possession. twins. clones. au versions of the same person. sometimes a guy is two guys and that is so so so important to me

i dont want to be in a fandom that critisizes the choices of fictional characters like they are human beings. i want to see THEORY and ANALYSIS and STORY STRUCTURE and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! I WANT PARALLELS AND MOTIFS AND VISUAL CUES!!! They're not REAL they are TOOLS so stop acting like they are people who made bad choices and should be punished. of course they made bad choices!!! that shit is funny and cool to watch!!

John, sliver of an eldritch god of all time <3

I imagine he slowly starts looking more and more humanoid as the story goes on and he becomes more human himself :)

[vaguelyhumanoidvoid]

Gave John a human form :)
