Yuki Marcel Arts

An animator and artist by trade and a writer by obsession, I strive for the balance between technical narrative precision and the visceral raw edge of survival horror. My creative process is driven by an analytical lens on worldbuilding and character psychology, exploring the nuances of collapsing worlds and the shadows within humanity. Between brushes and scripts, I dedicate myself to weaving plots where folklore and suspense intertwine, always seeking the perfect aesthetic for chaos.

I AM ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH KYLE CRANE IN DYING LIGHT: THE BEAST!!! 😭raaargh 🫵💥

Seriously, this mature, battle-hardened, veteran version of our Hero of Haran is JUST INSANE!! I’m stuck in an endless loop and now I am completely addicted to drawing this man. I literally cannot stop, send help!

It’s no secret to anyone that Dying Light is my absolute favorite franchise of all time. I am genuinely in love with all the games! The apocalyptic universe, the pure adrenaline of the parkour (the best out there, let’s be real), and of course, those lovable protagonists that you just want to protect at all costs.

Where are my Tumblr survivors at?! Anyone else losing their minds over Crane’s look in The Beast or am I completely on my own here? Please tell me I’m not alone in this! 👇🔥

Aiden's yet to learn how to stay human

Man, I really love this artist!!

When the parkour veteran notices you... 😎✨

I just couldn't resist the cuteness and had to draw my boys as chibis! Aiden is purely starstruck seeing Kyle Crane being the most stylish guy in Castorwoods.

— "Hey kid!" — he says, and the younger one's heart simply cannot take it! 🤩💙

A lighthearted and comedic break while I remain completely addicted to The Beast. I absolutely adore this skin on Kyle, he looks so sharp and stylish! 🕶️🔥

Let me know in the comments: which of these two chibis would you want to take home as a keychain? 🥺👇

I truly love this game! For me, it is hands down the best game of the first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology.

I am absolutely obsessed with Salim and Jason's dynamics, they are the absolute best! ✨ This drawing is based on the ending of my own playthrough. I swear I tried to save everyone, but I couldn't save Rachel... poor thing... 💀

On a side note, I’m also writing a Boys Love fanfiction for this game! Since I started writing right from the ending of my playthrough, it turned out that only the 4 guys survived lmao. It is what it is! Rachel, I'm so sorry, but you won't be in this fic—at least not alive... 🕯️

So, if anyone is interested in reading the fic, checking out how my playthrough ended, and seeing the beginning of my story, you can find it on my profile at Archive of Our Own (Yuki Marcel)!

Aiden knows exactly how to fluster Kyle. 😉✨

I am completely obsessed with drawing these two and writing beautiful, fun fics about them lately!

For anyone interested in reading, I post my stories on Archive of Our Own (AO3) under the name Yuki_Marcel. Come check it out! 📖❤️

Randoms for the Baron's favorite lab rat

[yukimarcelarts]

I’m still processing the absolute unit that Aiden Caldwell has become in Dying Light: The Beast! 🤯 Like, excuse me, when did our boy get so buff? The "gym rat" apocalypse look was definitely not on my 2026 bingo card, but honestly? I’m not complaining. Seeing these new perspectives of him has been a ride—he’s out here looking like he could bench press a Volatile. 💪

Despite the massive gains and the rugged look, I’m convinced he’s still the same sweet angel we know and love. He’s just a "beast" on the outside now! Drawing this new version of him was such a blast, especially sketching him alongside Kyle. Seeing them together just heals my soul; they are literally the most precious duo. 🥺✨

[yukimarcelarts]

Guys, seriously... I’m in love with how this turned out! 😍 I can’t believe how perfect these two look together. Seeing the legacy of Harran meeting the future of Villedor is everything to me!

Even though we’ve seen very little of them together so far, the connection between Kyle and Aiden has insane potential, and The Beast is here to prove it. Since I couldn’t wait any longer, I let my imagination (and my tablet) do the work! 🎨✍️

🔥 EXTRA: For those who love the survival trope and want to see these two in a well-developed BL dynamic, go check out my fic! Link in bio. 😉
