She/Her | birthday: 03/12 | Pisces | Age: 35 | Hi there! I be Scammy. I draw, write, and sew. Sometimes I'll post stuff. I really like Beetlejuice (p much any incarnation, but I'm a lil fixated atm on the musical) and Pokémon (Gengar is my boi), so expect a lot of that, mostly. Hope y'all enjoy it. Also, I'm on Instagram. Here's a link (I can't guarantee it'll work. I'm 'scammychan' there) : https://www.instagram.com/scammychan/
Just got my schedule for next couple weeks and my hours are indeed pretty sparse and my supervisor is implying this trend will continue for a bit. And while it’s nice to have a lighter work load, it also means a lighter paycheck, which is not ideal. So I’ve decided it couldn't hurt to open up commissions for now:
I’m mostly sticking with Hellaverse with the examples (and...specifically my Cain) because it’s what I’ve been drawing most recently (and what got me back to drawing in the first place after not drawing for months). So I'm most comfortable in this fandom at the moment; open to tackling fan designs or OCs or fanart of the characters in general, but I’m also open to other fandoms/styles if you want something different. It'll just depend on what you're looking for.
Either way, let me know if you’re interested and we can discuss. My messenger is open.

I really wanted to show off his outfit some more, so here it is. I had this done, like, a week ago. I just don't want to post too much art consecutively (cuz atm I don't have anything else in reserve).
Still open to requests. I'm starting to feel better after feeling like death the past few days, so I'm itching to draw some more. I have an idea i'm currently working on, but I'm feeling kinda wishy-washy on it. So let me know if you have any requests!
Haven’t had much of an opportunity to mention this aspect of my version of Cain before now, so…here we are! lol
I don’t really have much else to say, I was just really looking forward to drawing him for Pride. For the month of June (at least), anything else I draw for him will be in this fit so…ye!
Sidebar: I’m kinda considering opening up commissions. My hours at work are being teased to be a lot lighter for this month on, so I might need to try the commissions again to supplement that. For now, however, if you have a request, I’ll still do those no charge until I make a decision about commissions. So let me know!
Uh so...Never done this before (obviously), but I've been told I need to be more 'sociable' so...fuck it.
Ask me whatever or start a conversation however you'd like. I'm good to talk about pretty much anything so if you've just been itching to shoot the shit with the first murderer (who hasn't, right?) then send me a message or ask or...whatever.
((OOC: Hi! @scammydoesstuff here. I've had this in the back of my mind for a while and decided to finally actually try it. Not 100% sure anyone will be interested in this, but gonna give it a shot regardless because it sounds kinda fun. Also it gives me an excuse to draw my boy more because I do intend to draw most of the responses and possibly any random posts I feel like making for him. You can also consider this a bit of an RP blog as well. Anything posted will be in-character unless otherwise noted, so feel free to engage however you'd like, if you'd like.
Additionally for contextual purposes: Anything with him and Abel that I've drawn before this - and anything I draw with them in the future that I do not post here - are separate from this account and should be treated as such. As of the start of this blog, the Cain here has not seen or spoken to Abel since he killed him. So do with that as you like.))
Once again I have no good explanation or excuse. I just liked the idea of Cain seeing Abel wearing the helmet in person and how he...eh...doesn't like it one bit.
Anyway, this took way too long. I have a couple more ideas in mind, but definitely open to any suggestions or requests still! My asks are open.
So this is something I wrote out a little while back now but just haven't posted anywhere because I wasn't sure I wanted to. I have another (much longer) piece that I would definitely not be able to post here (because it's almost 6K words). I'm still kinda working that out too, so we'll see.
Anyway, I wanted to try and write something from the perspective of my version of Cain. To explore this notion of committing his sin without actually comprehending the consequences and to specifically show how he'd react to the gravity of his own actions. As I've said before - and I cannot stress this enough - he still did it. He still killed Abel and did so brutally. This is just "what if he didn't mean to kill him?"
All that to say, this is basically just another interpretation in a long line of interpretations of this story and this character. If you're not into it; cool. If you like it; thanks! If you wanna discuss; by all means. I just finally feel like putting it out there.
So...enjoy, I guess?
I don't remember much else from that day and I don't remember what set me off past His rejection. Though, whatever it was will never be a good enough reason...
All I do remember is what happened after. When the fog in my mind lifted and the anger seeped coldly from my body, leaving me hot and deeply uncomfortable. In hindsight, I recognize that much to have been shame. A shame that I had lost myself to a moment of rage like a toddler throwing a tantrum.
I remember rising to my feet to walk away, beckoning for Abel to follow as I uttered a half-hearted apology to the silence. I remember turning when I didn't hear him follow or move. I remember thinking he was somehow sleeping. I remember nudging him to wake. I remember the vacant stare in his eyes that I noticed only then hadn't closed.
I remember the creeping dread as my movements quickened - all in a vain attempt to rouse my brother from this trance. I remember finally seeing the blood on my hands and the rest seeping into the ground from his head where I…I remember making the connection to the way an animal's body would lay like this after a kill - limp and motionless amid its own blood.
I remember the way that realization made me cold.
I remember begging it to not be true. Begging Abel to wake because the knowledge that my baby brother was...That I could have...
The apologies tumbled from my lips as I cradled him to my chest. Apologies I slowly realized would never reach him.
What I don't remember is how long I sat there with him, weeping and begging him to come back to me - insisting that I hadn't meant it. That I didn't know.
I don't remember what I did with his body.
Most retellings say I hid it. Guess that makes sense? Scared as I was in the moment, I probably did. Too afraid for anyone to find out and desperate to hide what I'd done.
Sounds pretty pathetic though, now that I think on it. I mean, really, at that time you could count on two hands the number of existing humans. It'd be foolish to believe no one would notice someone missing.
But this had never happened before. None of us had ever come close to dying. I didn't...How could I have known that we could...Th-That I could...?
No. It doesn't matter. That's an excuse. I want to believe I wouldn't have done it if I knew we could die. If I had any inkling that my actions would result in this grave consequence.
But I can't know for sure...
When God came to us...I remember the anger bubbling back up in His presence. Responding sharply and coldly when He asked me where my brother was. Denying responsibility that was rightfully mine. I wanted to blame Him for it instead. Surely it was this distant Being who dared to claim He 'loved us'.
But He's not the one who brought the stone down. It wasn't His hands stained with blood.
Still, what He called me... "Murderer..." Something about the way He spat this new word at me…Even before I truly understood its meaning, I remember how sick it made me feel.
I remember fighting with Dad, who hopped right onto the bandwagon of calling me a monster. Piece of shit...Even if he's not wrong, he didn't need to be such an ass about it. Hell, he barely tolerated Abel most of the time! Who the fuck is he to pretend to be so upset?
Mom's face has mostly faded from my memory by now. I know she was devastated (I can actually believe that), but, as was the case with most of her life, she wilted behind Adam, allowing him to handle the family 'drama'.
Then came my punishment. The details made my heart sink. The ground would never again yield produce to me and that I was to wander the earth a fugitive. I dared to retort - that I would simply die at the hands of whomever sought to slay me. I'd invite their justice and forfeit my life in return for the one I stole.
Yet another foolish mistake.
In response, God placed a mark upon my forehead. It burned like nothing I'd ever experienced. Only Hellfire has ever offered a comparable agony. My vision bled white as I writhed upon the ground and my ears rang from the screams that tore from me.
As the pain began to numb, He further explained that I would be granted divine protection from a premature death.
It was too much.
Denied death to pay my penance. Forced into an unbreaking solitude. Trapped beneath my crushing guilt and loss that will never yield. Far too much for one man to bear.
But it was done.
Whatever any of them said after that or whatever I said in return was of no consequence. I was banished shortly after, departing my family to begin my eternal punishment.
After that, the memories blur and fade into a fuzzy recollection at best, and little more than a void in my mind at worse.
But I remember how shit hit the fan afterwards. The way His curse proved to be all too real. The many hungry days and nights if I couldn't find food already growing. Food I could no longer grow myself.
And then came the nightmares. The constant, painful reminders of my crime. As if the guilt wasn't already eating me alive. I remember praying once or twice. Begging God to grant me the slightest mercy and allow me but a brief respite from the haunting visions.
Another mistake, of course. That made them worse. How dare I, the wicked wretch who could never curry His favor - the murderous beast who took the life of one so innocent - beg forgiveness? No…not forgiveness. I never wanted His forgiveness. There's only one person I've ever dared to want forgiveness from.
And I'll never get it. Not that I'd deserve it, of course...
Because, after all this time - after what I did - why in all of Heaven or Hell or Earth would Abel ever forgive the monster who took his life?
It occurred to me that I haven't drawn my Cain as a human before now.
...so here's that:
I also decided to draw what would technically be an original version of his demon form (like, first day in Hell version) to show how he'd changed in the millennia he's been in Hell.
...so here's that too:
It also kinda gave me an excuse to draw a part of his demon anatomy that I hadn't actually depicted yet, but which I had kept in mind, at least. And that's him hooves. I imagine he'd kinda hate them, if only because he already feels like a monster/less human and seeing those instead of feet would definitely make that worse. So he wears his boots that are able to hide how inhuman they are so he can feel a little less monstrous. I wouldn't say there's, like, a ton of shame around them. If someone else were to see them, it's not like he's gonna be devastated. It's more that he just personally doesn't like them.
I apologize for earlier if it was not written correctly, I do not know English well and I write with a translator.I have a question about the relationship between Abel, Cain and Sin (I think I spelled the name of the latter correctly in different translations, it sounds different) I'm wondering how the three of them relate to each other (maybe there was an answer to my question, but I just didn't see it) like, according to the last Easter Art, it seemed to me sin gently speaking of which , he is not very happy with the company of his older brothers , although perhaps he just does not like Cain because he showed him the fact , and in such cases , how Kayan treats sin , thanks a lot for the answer earlier , I adore your work , you are one of the few authors of Cain/Abel, whom I adore (I draw them myself, but I'm not good at it ) You really piss me off!))) thank you)))
Hello! No need to apologize. English is a difficult language, so I appreciate your efforts.
To answer your question: No, Seth doesn't really like either of his brothers. He'll play nice with Abel for the most part because it's expected of him, but he doesn't enjoy Abel's company. And he doesn't like Cain at all. He shares Adam's hatred of sinners and that absolutely extends to Cain. None of this is necessarily personal. He didn't have any connection to either of them in life and only met Abel after he ascended to Heaven. So there's no emotional connection to either of them.
But it's all good; Cain also hates him and, as far as he's concerned, he only has one brother and that's Abel. And then there's Abel himself, who wants to have a better relationship with both his brothers because they're kind've all he has left.
I hope that actually answered your question. Thank you for enjoying my silly little drawings. If you have any requests, let me know! <3
I typically couldn't give a shit about Easter if I'm being honest. I like me the chocolate bunnies and the day offa work, but that's about it. That being said, this idea came to mind, and I wanted to draw it. So here we are.
In terms of how each of the brothers would approach the holiday:
Abel's all in on the fun traditions like coloring eggs, the candies, the big-ass bunny rabbit. It's fun, it's cute, he loves it. He's the reason the other two are engaging at all.
Seth is kinda being dragged along. I see him viewing the egg coloring and overconsumption of sugary treats as wholly unnecessary when they could just be observing the holiday through services n' shit. He'd care way more about the actual religious aspects of the holiday.
And then there's Cain who'd have no fucking idea what the hell Easter is. It would've come about long after his death and I don't exactly see them celebrating Easter in Hell so there's not much of a reason for him to have been exposed to it before now. He's basically here for free sweets and cuz Abel asked him to.
I decided to make my response it's own post cuz reblogging the ask post would've made it too long and what I have to say will likely be too long for a reply.
So, @gothgeek1997, to address some of what you've said here/asked:
'Braver' isn't exactly the word I would use for him, though he's definitely the son Adam would've wanted given the Bible's description of him being 'born in Adam's likeness'. That supposedly means he was like Adam in regards to his devotion to God, but...not sure how well that really applies to this version of Adam. But in terms of 'bravery', I don't think that'd be super accurate. He's arrogant and that arrogance could be interpreted as bravery, but I don't imagine he'd necessarily be on the front lines were trouble to come calling and, unlike Adam, I do not see him being the type of person who'd get his hands dirty. (That's what Lute's for.)
In regards to his relationship with Cain and Abel, I don't see Seth caring about either of them. Why would he? He didn't know either of them in life, so he wouldn't have the nostalgia of growing up with his older brothers to give him any fond feelings. There's just zero family connection there because both Cain and Abel were long gone by the time he was born and would've any understanding of their connection. My view of Seth is that he's incredibly conceited and believes himself to be superior to pretty much everyone and that includes the brothers he was born to be a replacement for.
As I mentioned in my response to your ask, I don't see him being outwardly mean or cruel. In fact, I imagine he'd come across to most people as being very affable. It's what he says and how he says it. An example that immediately pops to mind would be in regards to Abel's position as head of the Exorcists. Specifically how Seth would comment about how Abel shouldn't be in that position. Using phrases that might sound well-meaning, but in actuality are insulting like, 'It's okay, we all know you're just not cut out for this', or 'Surely you'd be happier playing with your little lambs than wasting your time playing commander'. Just being condescending and shitty while presenting himself as kind. I think, by present day, Abel's just kinda used to it and so he doesn't respond to it anymore, even if some of the mean shit Seth says still hurts.
My Cain would fucking hate him. Not at first, granted. At first, I'd see him being indifferent to him. 'Oh, so dad fucked another kid into mom after what I did? Cool. What a piece of shit.' He'd respond more to Adam than Seth. But after talking to him? After hearing the condescending, pious way he talks down to everyone around him?
It'd be like this:
That's also how I see most interactions with Lute going, btw. And maybe Sera. But mostly Seth. Because Seth is an asshole, especially to the two of them, who were unable to live up to the expectations placed upon them by God, whereas he did.
"So that makes me better, of course!"
Finally, would Seth be protective of Abel? No. Not even a little. I'm not sure why you'd think that. As far as he's concerned, Abel was the 'weak little bitch who got himself killed--' (Adam's words, let's be real) '--and needed to be replaced'.
That's my interpretation of him, anyway. I think he'd be the worst kind've person to be around, but who's charismatic enough that he can get away with it. Glad you like him, though. I do see the potential in him creating fun or angsty scenarios, at least.
If it's not too much trouble. Can you draw Seth (Adam and Eve's third son)? I like to see what your design of him looks like.
So this was kinda tricky cuz to be perfectly honest, I'd put, like, a single thought into Seth before this. The brainrot has been squarely tied to Cain and Abel, neither of whom he would've met on Earth and his only real ties to them are that he was born to replace Abel. As a result, I hadn't really put a lot of thought towards him before this. But I wanted to give this a fair shake and try and logic out how I'd see him with the existence of my Cain specifically, so a lot of my thoughts on him will be with my version of Cain in mind.
Apologies that it's super sketchy. I've never designed a Heaven character, so I was very much out of my element. Not a bad thing. Very good exercise for sure, just super different. Anyway, I mostly wanted to just get a basic idea down for what I have in mind and throw down some colors that may or may not be final. Hair and eye color would be, I think, but I'm not sure about the rest of him. Maybe I'll revisit him cuz this did make me think about him and his relationships with his brothers a bit more so...maybe? We'll see.
Anyway, here he be:
So! I'll break him down a bit. I see him aesthetically being like a balance between his parents. Whereas I think Abel definitely took more after Eve in personality and looks (cuz while there's some semblance, I don't see much of Adam in Abel at all), and I'm just in too deep with the notion that Cain would look the most like Adam between the three of them, I think it'd make sense for attempt number 3 to have traits from both parents.
Personality-wise, I see him being kind've insufferable, tbh. Specifically because he's described as being very faithful to God and representing the 'righteous line' to contrast the descendants of Cain. So I imagine he'd have an ego; seeing himself as the 'best of the three'. In terms of Heaven characters, I could see him being one of the few (and only) people on Lute's side. Specifically I see him being miffed at the idea that these sinners can just come to Heaven now after the atrocities they would've committed in their lives whereas he 'earned' his place in Heaven. So he could play more of an antagonistic role as a result.
As for why he wouldn't have been chosen to succeed Adam as the leader of Heaven's army, I imagine that has more to do with Abel being older and the Seraphim maybe viewing it as a seniority thing (on top of Abel being more fair)? Not that I see Seth necessarily vying for the position. At least not actively. Basically, I see him treating it as 'waiting for Abel to fail', at which point he'd come in to 'replace him again'. I also just don't think he'd be very nice to Abel in general. I don't see him being outright 'mean' to him the way Adam probably was (why else would Abel think Adam didn't like him?), but I do see him being condescending in the way certain Christians can be. Where they're being outwardly nice, but the things they're actually saying are horrible. I'm sure you've met people like this; people who use their faith to excuse their horrible behavior. It's not the majority, of course, but it absolutely exists.
Anyway, another aspect of his design that I would draw more from going forward would be in regards to the whole 'rock star' thing shared among Adam and his sons. Since they are linked to different types of rock music (toxically masculine rock for Adam, 'classic' rock for Abel, and, for my Cain at least: heavy metal, emotionally-driven rock), I also see Seth being associated with a type of rock music and that would be Christian rock. As a character that is, from so many angles, defined by his devotion to God, it just makes sense to me.
Voice-wise, I used to listen to a couple songs by some Christian rock bands like Skillet and Red back in high school (before I actually knew they were Christian rock. I just liked the sound of some of their music. Never got big into either of them, but some of their songs stuck with me). I specifically remember really liking 'Death of Me' and 'Breathe Into Me' by Red. So I was listening to a bit of that while working on this to get into the right headspace. As such, I could see the voice of the lead singer Michael Barnes for Seth here, but that's not super concrete for me yet.
Last thing I wanna bring up, is something that I just kinda like about what I did here. It's a design element I drew from Abel's canon design that I'm carrying over into both his siblings, and that's their hair styles - specifically their bangs. Cain doesn't have this anymore, but I'm in the process of working on something where he does. Basically, he just wears his hair differently after some time spent in Hell for a number of reasons, so he no longer shares this trait in my existing drawings of him, but it's something I wanted to incorporate to kinda tie their designs together in some way. I'll get to the one with Cain when I can. I'm just not...done with it. I'm not the fastest with this kinda thing. Goin' as fast as I can!
Anyway, I don't have much else to say about this for now. I hope you like him.
