all I do is draw handsome men being obscenely homoerotic with one another
hi! is there any chance you have a drawing of your oscar in color? couldn't find it and i need it for.. reasons (reference) no worries if not tho!
surprisingly no! (well, not Yet) BUT here’s a quick thing I did for ya for color refs <3 they don’t have to be 1 for 1 accurate either go crazy
we talked about john wearing lipstick and leaving a kissy mark on arthur's forehead - he probably got the idea from a movie watching the female lead leave a lipstick mark on the male lead (i think he would get many ideas about how humans act from movies 🤭)((i also think he enjoys embarrassing arthur above anything else))
[Start ID: Two sketches of John and Arthur from Malevolent. Arthur is a stout man with styled back, dark hair, only one spit curl in the middle, and a mustache. He's wearing a coat with large lapels, a simple collared shirt, and a short tie. John is a very tall human with dark, curled hair, and pronounced cheekbones. He wears a headscarf tied underneath his chin and has 1930's styled makeup with dark eyeshadow, pencil thin eyebrows, and bright red lipstick. He's also wearing a fur lined coat with fur at the lapels and fur at the sleeve ends, as well as gloves. His fingers are drawn sharp, even while wearing gloves. In the first sketch, John leans down and kisses Arthur gently on the forehead, cradling his face with one hand. He says, "Thank you, Arthur". Arthur lets himself be leaned into the kiss, closing one eye on the side that's towards John, the other open with slight surprise. He has a small blush on his face and a stray hair has gone up to show his surprise. In the second sketch, Arthur looks blankly forward with a large blush on his face, up to his ears, and a prominent red lipstick mark on his forehead. Beside him, John is represented by a simplified head and laughs "Pft-" with an amused, fanged smile and a small blush. End ID.]
[ID copied from ALT: A four panel comic showing Noel, Arthur and John during the diner scene in part 39. Panel one: Noel, with his coffee cup to his lips, says “Well, I appreciate the perspective, but… with respect. I was asking John.” Panel two: John, blushes, says “W… What?”, while Arthur, with a shocked expression says, “Oh. I…” Panel three: Noel tilts his coffee cup towards Arthur and says “Presumably, John can hear me.” In the fourth panel, John smiles wide and says “I can.” Arthur says “He… I can.”
Two sketches based on malevolent part 39. The first sketch shows a bust of Arthur looking offended while John looks uncertain. Arthur says “you think I couldn’t do that if I could just see again?” And John says “well. I don’t know that’s why I’m asking”. An arrow points to a second sketch showing Arthur kicking a crying bleeding man into the floor while John looks down nervously. End ID.]
My two favorite parts of this episode were “John gets to experience a human connection” and “Arthur curb stomps a guy just to prove he can, probably.”
Bonus Noel/Charlie concept sketches and lil Arthur and Noel colors under the cut
[ID copied from ALT: A digital illustration of Kayne and Arthur from Malevolent. They are dancing together, with Kayne’s back pressed into Arthur’s chest as he leans into him as if during a turn. Kayne smiles and Arthur frowns as their eyes meet. Kayne’s bloody hands are staining Arthur’s. Arthur is wearing a red cloak atop his usual 1930s attire, and kayne is dressed in a black suit with a red tie. End ID.]
Careful there, Artie. Getting awfully close.
[ID copied from alt: A digital painting of Parker from the chin down. He is standing in front of a bathroom mirror with one hand on the sink and holding a razor in the other. Shaving supplies are piled along the back of the sink. In the background of the mirror is a doorway, and through that we can see Arthur sitting at his piano, staring distractedly at Parker with a blush on his cheeks.]
do you think parker and arthur ever—
This was inspired by a discussion in the Dreamlands server of Parker being Arthur’s gay awakening as they shared that tiny apartment.

I started this last October and Procreate tells me i spent 45 hours on it 😭 i feel like my rendering skills were completely different at the start from what they became by the end
[ID copied from ALT: A monochromatic digital drawing featuring a menagerie of the monsters and enemies featured in malevolent. They all seem to be following a trail of blood that leads to the right. A monochromatic digital drawing featuring, Kayne, Arthur, and John. Arthur and John are walking to the right with their lighter held in the air, seemingly unaware of Kayne trailing after them, staining the ground behind him with blood. End ID.]
Careful boys, you’ve got a tail.
Commissions and Tip Jar
[ID copied from ALT: A digital drawing of Arthur Lester and John Doe, done in warm, saturated colors. Arthur looks forward with an intense expression on his face, holding a brilliant lantern aloft. In the background, John bleeds into Arthur’s design, a minimally indicated mouth open as if he’s speaking to Arthur. The arm that John controls is rendered in the same wavy yellow style as the rest of John, but Arthur is rendered less abstractly. Starbursts decorate some parts of the image, and the whole thing is overlaid with a faint layer of grain. The second image is the same drawing, zoomed in. End ID.]
I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
[ID copied from ALT: A digital drawing of Arthur Lester, done in shades of green, orange, and yellow. He is running, his expression panic-stricken, a yellow cloak in tatters clinging onto him. In the background there is a tilted mirror, John Doe shown in the reflection behind Arthur. The background contains elements of fire, abstract smoke, and stylized stars. Faintly visible in the mirror are the outlines of dozens and dozens of hands, reaching out. The second photo is the same drawing, zoomed in. End ID.]
gotta get to the bottom of this!!!

[ID: drawing of Arthur from Malevolent. the drawing is monochrome with various bright yellow accents. Arthur has a solemn expression, his face half covered by a mask he is holding with his left hand. The mask is white with two holes for eyes, and a melting crown is floating above it. a dark, semitranslucent hand is resting on Arthur’s left shoulder, splitting his arm from the rest of his body with a yellow gap. A similar chasm exists on Arthur’s right side, where he is merging with a nondescript, melting, open book. Next to him is the following text: “I’m the gap between a tragedy & comedy.” end ID]
For @dickwheelie who wanted 69 with Arthur for the Spotify ask :]

[Doodle of Arthur and John from Malevolent. Arthur has his eyes closed, kissing the back of his left hand. his right arm is wrapped around him. He says: “thank you, John.” Next to him is John, represented by a shapeless fog, wide eyed and blishing, stammering: “Arthur. Jesus Christ. Arthur is a white man with shoulder-length hair, wearing a dress shirt under a jumper. End ID]

[ID: Drawing of Arthur Lester and John Doe from Malevolent. Arthur is sitting on a pile of rocks, one leg propped up, shaking his own hand while looking down and smiling fondly. a transparent claw rests gently on his left arm. He says: “I’ve missed you, my friend”. Arthur is a white man with dark brown, shoulder long hair and various scars on his face, neck and arm. he is wearing a nondescript dark blue jumper and some dark trousers with a long tear on the trousers’ leg. He has dried blood on his face and on his trouser leg. end ID]
not immune to whatever Arthur Lester and John Doe have going on,,,,
[ID: digital drawing of John and Arthur from the Malevolent podcast. Arthur is standing with his back to an approaching bee with a bored expression. John is screaming: “Arthur! There is a bee! arthur! do something!” to which Arthur replies: i am literally just one guy. Arthur is a white man with shoulder-length, messy hair, and some acne scarring on his face. He is wearing a white dress shirt under a coat. John has no body, their form appearing as black mist with an angry face peaking thru. End ID]
This is what i have gathered about their dynamic from the first few episodes i have listened too. /hj
(pls do not spoil anything, thank you.)
[ID: Several drawings of Arthur Lester and John Doe from Malevolent kissing with their shared hand, and a picture of John and Yellow's designs. Arthur is portrayed as a midsized white man with short, disheveled brown hair that is hanging partially over his face. John is portrayed as a humanoid monstrous figure with a cracked pallid mask for part of his face, as well as three small black horns on the side of the mask. The mask is broken diagonally, and beneath it, there is a large diagonal maw of sharp teeth against pitch-black skin. He wears a golden-yellow hooded robe.
In the first drawing, Arthur stands, head cocked gently to the side as John uses their shared hand to hold Arthur's chin and press his thumb against Arthur's lips. Arthur holds the elbow of the arm with his other hand. On the other side of the hand, John leans in to press his teeth to the back of his own hand, as if they were touching mouths. The folds of John's cloak are translucent over the arm they share. In the second drawing, John has tipped Arthur's head back further, and is pressing against him harder. Arthur's mouth is open, as is John's, revealing more sharp teeth. Arthur pulls the hand closer by the wrist.
The final drawing shows John's design as a full body, alongside a design of Yellow. In this one, John's hand is his own, and he holds it to his chest. The base of his robe separates into tentacle-like strips of fabric. Yellow is a similarly humanoid figure with a yellow hood, but his mask is the opposite side of John's, diagonally split just the same. Beneath Yellow's mask, we see a burning yellow eye, and his mouth under the chin of the mask, open in a snarl. Yellow is smaller than John, the end of his cloak appears to have been torn apart.

So! I’ve been listening to a podcast… Malevolent has been consuming my halloween season, and now I am torn between binging the last season and catching up, to where I know I will be losing my MIND waiting for drops, or putting it on the back burner so it can flesh out and I dont get plauged with hyperfixation/depravation.
