Hello, I have a question about void/argbur, I saw in some artworks of yours that he can stick to like the wall when he’s like his void form, what is that stuff called, and is it sticky? Like do pieces of him ever come off?
P.S I love your art style😊!

YOOOO It’s been a while since I thought about that dude! Super glad you asked, thank ya for the ask :-]
Gonna pull up some cool old art to further explain my vision too hehe. There’s some unpublished art in case you guys are curious bout that.
(Also just to clarify for anyone who needs it, I’m strictly gonna talk bout my hcs of the character, Argbur/Voidbur/Arthur! I kind of treat Arthur like an oc now! I will not be posting about cc!Wilbur on my page.)
Since I see Arthur being made in a lab, like a clone of a person who went missing/died, I like to think his body isn’t organic. (He was an experiment made to test if it was possible to revive a human being, although with inorganic material)
I usually just call it void substance (I haven’t come up with a name yet LOL), but think about it as a black kind of slime, which is the material his creators tried to make him with. It’s definitely pretty sticky, and it leaves behind a black residue on every surface it touches. Everytime Arthur leaves an area in his void form, there’s black markings he leaves behind.
Void substance is a type of chemical the scientists used to create Arthur (either it’s artificial or “natural” is something I’m indecisive about, like a parasite they found in the earth), and when it’s not kept in a closed, controlled environment, it has the potential to grow out of control and destroy its surroundings. The substance is almost “living” with a mind of its own, but it has no organic material.
Arthur’s void form is very shapable and malleable, meaning he can shapeshift into anything he chooses, but remaining in a desaturated color. This explains his human form, which although it accurately depicts the form he was assigned with, his skin remains cold and grey.
Furthermore, bits and pieces can definitely fall/melt off of him when he isn’t maintaining his form (eg. he’s experiencing stress as his void form, or as his human form). However, I can see he’s able to regenerate his physical body. Void substance is very fluid and chaotic. I wouldn’t say it’s INFINITE, so I’m inclined to believe you can limit void substance through temperature (like extreme heat?), but that’s something I’m still figuring out.
Apologies for the ramble, but you reminded me of how much I love Arthur :-] I went into more detail than I needed to, but hope you enjoy the infodump!
