Uhhhhuh i forgot how to draw and i am NOT very good at figuring out how to design someone like v.b blue without reference so he is normal kinda!! i like him though
Virulent Beelzebub is now on the Pokepasta wiki, complete with cover art! (shown above)
Anyway, time to show off art I made while working on it below the cut and talk about what inspired it
TW: Body horror, Trypophobia, Bugs. Also, spoilers.
First up, the inspirations. I recommend giving all of these a look if you have the time.
Inscryption (mainly its third act) by Daniel Mullins
Lisa: The Pointless: Scholar of the Wilbur Sin (Basegame by Edvinas Kandrotas, SotWS mod by JCJimmy, Lisa the Painful + Joyful by Austin Jorgensen)
KinitoPET by troy_en
Bugsnax by Young Horse Games
Pokemon Infected Moon by Skull-Doggery
Poison Point ~ All Roads Lead Home by Wrongwarp
Official Reference of VB Koga
VB Koga as a Kraizen/Vani from Kenopsia
...Annnd some random little doodles, of varying seriousness
Also, little note about the process of Virulent Beelzebub: It was one of the few things I wrote that I actually rewrote the draft of. The beginning and ending remained the same throughout, but the middle had a lot of little things changed, such as Erika being a tree, Koga randomly appearing throughout the pasta in person, someone taking away the player's Rattata after it was poisoned and giving them antidotes in exchange, and some other stuff I've forgotten.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
WARNING: The following story contains bugs, body horror, gore, references to abusive relationships and toxic positivity, Animal/Pokemon death and injury, and injured children. Please read with caution
Finally got this done. This is my first leap into proper chaptered work, and I'm kinda hyped to show this off! I plan on posting this on the Pokepasta Wiki proper in a few days, along with sharing some general info from when I was working on it.
Anyway, please enjoy! (and heed the trigger warnings)
