Sagacious Tome, Vindick Leather and Lorien are all simps for Nefarian, but each of them is a different type of simp.
Tome: the simp that falls for all the fake bs and believes Nef is actually into him
Vindick: the simp that adores Nef unconditionally, excuses all his bs and does everything for him, He-Could-Step-On-Me-And-I-Would-Thank-Him simp
Lorien: Hate-That-I-Want-To-Fuck-You simp
Skulduggery Pleasant Series : Meritorious, Crow, and TomeÂ
Serpine struggles to approach the Book of Names, and all Tome can think of is how easy it was to kill his colleagues.
(From afar, he watches Crow rush at her enemies, watches her open her mouth to scream before the lightning strikes her-)
They won’t laugh at him anymore. They won’t belittle him. There’s no one left alive in the Sanctuary to whisper behind his back, to spread news of his apparent shortcomings, about how he’s the weakest Elder, the most useless, how they should just find someone else to do his job. Sagacious Tome is not a man to be mocked-
And it’s a lesson they learned too late.
(He sees Meritorious’ summoning an energy shield, barely registering the betrayal before that Sceptre points directly at his face-)
When Serpine points the Sceptre at him, ignoring his pleas and threats, Tome tastes his bittersweet victories go sour in his mouth.Â
For one fleeting moment, he thinks of Meritorious and Crow, their faces in their last moments, still not comprehending their deaths-
Okay SO. I drew this in 2024 with the intention to draw every character, and then I scrapped the project. But, by popular demand, the project has been reopened.
So, in order to sort of give an idea of what I'm doing I'm finally releasing this draft of... almost a year and a half xD It's just been sitting at the bottom of my drafts for over a year, and now I hate looking at it.
Here's the current idea:
I'm going to do a layout sort of like this (I haven't decided what style I'm going to use yet, I might have to run another poll- I kinda wanna do a noir project instead of fully colored tbh)
Each character will get a little card with their bust; a pose, expression and MAYBE a prop that goes with their character.
I'll be going by order of appearance, not mention (which means I'm going to need to reread the books too, so this is going to be a LONGGGG project)
I am open to suggestions, esp since I haven't started yet, so feel free to send me Asks with recommendations, questions etc :]
Notes (from the time of my creating the post in 2024):
- This is in order of appearance, not mention: hence Mevolent is not here
- This is the 'average' of the character throughout all the books they appear in: that's why Val is doing necromancy + wearing the red armour rather than being 12 years old here. *
- I didn't want to draw multiple Cleavers so I'll include the White Cleaver next time he appears
- If I shaded these my computer would actually explode so I might shade them and post them separately but this is the 'official' look for how I'm going to do this
- *Haven't decided if I'm going to include the same characters if they appear differently in the future, except the Cleaver and Scapegrace/Thrasher, I WILL draw all of their versions.
- Idea Credit to @anartisticexpression who did this ~7/8 years ago :]
