I guess I should share some context... I swear I have more OCs than just Arthur ok lol he just lends himself well to the kind of art I like to draw. so much darkness. I messed up his face so I just rolled with it and made him spooky
But he's kind of trapped in a pact, and while I can't share too much about that because I would like to make this into a legit story at some point, it sort of sends him into a downward spiral. There's a lot of politics in my story as I envision it, not to be preachy but because I find it interesting.
So he gets radicalized politically and becomes severely depressed, which kind of leads him to believe the worst things possible. If you've ever been depressed, you know how susceptible you are to believing anything that tells you the world is as bad as you think it is. Most of my drawings of him are related to this. Plus he's angry at the world and everyone else.
Thing is, he tends to hide this from everyone, he likes to troll people kinda and generally puts on this facade of being untouchable, so no one really seems to notice him spiralling.
Apologies for the quality. This one is older (not by that much but still) and it doesn't look as nice because I was using ink and not acrylic (though, the red IS acrylic). I don't have a good scanner or anything so im kinda stuck using my phone camera.
