“I love you like an alcoholic”

So, you may remember a while back I mentioned that I had had something special framed. Here it is!

I received this piece as a Christmas gift last year. It came with 10 other pieces that I plan on scanning in the future, including some roughs, a sketch of Otto’s saw, and lots of shading line layers. It is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever received! I decided to have it reframed due to humidity concerns where I live. You may notice the slight rippling on the sides of the paper; upon speaking to some professionals (my photographer/paper expert cousin and two local framers), I was relieved to figure out it was just regular paper aging. Phew! It’s got museum glass so it’s UV protected as well. Nice and safe!

And here’s some good news: my roommate and I are currently looking to get our own scanner. We both do traditional work (as well as archival work, in my case), so we feel it’ll be a good investment (and you guys won’t have to wait so long for scans LOL. I’ll get to those Formless ref sheets if it kills me…). Once that’s sorted out and I figure out the safest way to handle graphite pieces, I’ll get around to scanning this one as well. I also plan on making a separate account to upload scans of all the sorts of various promotional materials I have, not just SRMTHFG! So if you like theme park maps, magazine clippings, and SDCC flyers, look out for that.

In the meantime, here are some detail closeups. If there’s anything you’d like a better angle of, let me know!

"Skeleton" King Origin Headcanon

Something that always bothered me about the villain from Super Robot Money Team, was his name. "Skeleton King". Which is so funny to me, because the series actually reveals he isn't a skeleton at all, in any way. For some reason, he actually has living organs despite allegedly being an "undead" creature. The ep I, Chiro reveals his body to have been robotic, with wires connecting his head. As well as the fact that his skull was actually only ENCASED in bone, and what lay beneath was a skull made entirely out of pure crystal. Aside from his face shell, he isn't made of bone at all. He's not a skeleton. I also found it strange that the Alchemist would wipe the Monkey's memories of him, despite the fact that he had completely changed appearances. Sure, he did it to be safe, but. Even so, it was unusual to me. The transformation process was also revealed to have been slow. He deteriorated over time, having enough time to finish the Silver Monkey, if not perhaps more.

So I've been thinking. Since the Alchemist built the monkeys their robotic parts by mixing science and magic... surely he did the same to himself? I don't mean to go all purple-guy on you, but I say the Alchemist was slowly rotting and falling apart, as his living flesh could not heal from the corruption process when the Dark One grabbed him. But the Alchemist fought back. He fought back by building a robotic body for himself in hopes that it would slow the infection, in hopes that he could stop himself from turning undead and/or evil. Each new part, while an agonizing replacement process, proved fruitful as it did indeed buy him more time. All the more reason to wipe the Monkey's memories of him. Because they'll know exactly what became of him, exactly what he looks like, as well as the painful memories that came before the end, as they helped him. They helped build his body, and they helped him resist it. But it wasn't enough. The day finally came where it reached his brain, and he could no longer resist it, and he gave in.
