arthur likes cowboys….this is everything to me i hope you all know that. malevolent is such a great and wonderful podcast because somehow someway it’s medieval fantasy right now but also the main character has seen cowboy movies. no. he has seen a specific cowboy movie (with a gay ass title) Four Times? also he tells this fact to the fragment of a god that he shares a body with before he tries and barely succeeds to mount a horse that will soon be named john wayne by a talking skull. what a beautiful world..
Well then... since we got a anti Gem.... anti pearl is next
oh man she was much harder to design than anti gem. pearl doesnt really shy away from any styles, so i went with a more classic “evil twin” vibe. she changes her outfit to match pearl, so i drew a design for classic anti pearl and season 10 anti pearl
a common theme for pearl is that she likes to help her fellow hermits with services, so anti pearl ofc would do the opposite! if pearl is a postmaster who delivers sweet messages, than anti pearl is a postmaster who delivers harmful messages
as you can see, i tried going for an eclipse theme, though it translated more to a “dark version” of pearl’s actual skins- which inspired the whole anti pearl matches pearl thing
five am pearl definitely made this a challenge bc she’s kinda designed like a helsknight/evil xisuma version of pearl, and i didnt want the design to look too similar so i had to keep trying new things until i settled on her gimmick. the black sclera is just bc its fun, and it separates her from 5am pearl :)
Can we take a minute to talk about how the dark sides appear?
Like, we've seen Virgil rise up onto the screen many times with ease, however we've also seen him be summoned in a flash by outside influences.
We've only ever seen Remus flash onto the screen (unless you count his first appearance in DWIT but I don't because he was behind the TV) He clearly has no interest in rising up like the light sides do. He's there to spook you and catch you off guard.
However we've seen Janus ATTEMPT to actually rise up multiple times. Once when he was pretending to be Logan in SvS, and another in the latest Asides. We can tell he isn't very good yet, as he keeps stumbling and has yet to go up smoothly, but he's TRYING. He's trying to fit in and be like the light sides. He's trying to prove to Thomas that he's on his side. HE'S TRYING TO SHOW THOMAS THAT HE ISN'T A THREAT.
Anyway this has been your sporadic "Remy Wont Shut Up About Janus Sanders" post, come again.
