#neighbor steve asks

[meltdraw]

Does the One Of The Void, They Who Live Next To He Who Shall Be Known As Neighbor Steve, request that we bring virgins as in people who have not had intercourse, or the traditional form of virgin, those whose blood has not yet been used in any ritual and is thus far more potent?

So wait, what does a pact entail in the Neighbor Steve world? What is there to gain, on either side? I would trade a lot in for certain powers, lol. But I don't want to get swarmed by demons, either.

My dear, dear nameless one,

Pacts often exact a high price. For, me, I will ask for nothing less than your soul. I am not some sort of plebian Void Abomination. Stay, you might say, and tell me, what good will my soul do you?

It will enlarge the wretched kingdom. Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris. (It is a comfort to the wretched to have companions in misery.) For within the bowels of these elements the Void hath no limits, nor is circumscribed in one place, for where we are is the Abyss. And where the Abyss is must we ever be. And, to conclude, when all the world dissolves, and every creature shall be purified through the fire of apocalypse, you will know the Void.

Anyway, in exchange for your soul, I will evoke the name of Bugg-Shash to grant you but one wish to enjoy before you are consigned to everlasting death.-Heckin-fun-thyme

Inspired by Marlowe’s Faustus 

Note: I’m sorry, I wanted to draw anime eyes for Bugg-Shash

The "Neighbor Steve" comic is the absolute best thing I've seen on tumblr in a long time. You're drawing is great. Also, shout out to the person who wrote the dialogue. I was fucking crying. You are both good noodles <3

my sister and i love your neighbour Steve comics! we know where the original story came from, but still any continuation it priceless. any chance of a Christmas special with antler man in a Christmas sweater? if not understandable.

Weeeellll, the future is an uncertain thing. It is during holiday season. But! here’s a christmas sweater:

1. I'm glad you enjoyed the cats’ talk @mynameiskodieee​ (of the alternative)! It was a late throwback when i did day cycle pictures for a friend's site and thought it would be fun to add something simple.

2a. We started this as a fun friend thing. I guess my advice on writing comics would be to read widely. Evoke your muse. -heckin-fun-thyme

2b.Used to write as therapeutic picture diary but usually on napkins because I always forget my moleskine. Fun to write slice of lives. My writing tend to be simple compared to the above^  to get to the message across within a few small panels out of laziness. And no idea about publishing, haven't considered. -Melt

3. PhotoshopCS6 & Kyle's megapack brushes. Funny you say that because I'm learning traditional which certainly made me appreciate textures. What I learned from trying out new medium(s) is your current foundation stays intact and it's all about understanding and getting used to the tool. That's not saying much but its learning curve can be a bit steep when you go into a medium that has plenty of buttons and is frictionless thus can screw up all the muscle memory you built making those perfect strokes from using a pencil or brush. Learn EVERYTHING the software offers (basic: ctrlpaint),  then practice routinely to get used to tool. you know you’re making progress when you gesture ctrl+z under a canvas.

4-5. GOOD! Because he’s fun to do!

6.thanks, Anon! You’re a beautiful velvety sphere and is it just me or are there two gems behind those shades? 👈 (‘▿’ 👈

What is neighbor Steve's neighbor's name? Does he have one, even?

“Well, Dear Anon,

When you are one such as I, who regularly licks the Void to the music of the unholy masses, mortal names tend to lose themselves to the abyss, erased. Even the demoniac chorus gets swallowed until there are but echoes. Anyway, I do have a cat named Daniel.”

Hey uh, do you mind if I do a comic dub of your "Neighbor Steve" comic?

You don’t even need to ask because the answer is always of course you can. :) Tell me when you post it, I would enjoy listening!
