"What reason would I have had not to jump? Not to become as I am now. Perhaps I just didn't know the true joy of vertigo. It doesn't matter. In the end I threw myself into the arms of that vast emptiness, and I bound my tormentor to the book."

Fairly random Mike Crew design. Idk, I just think he's kinda neat.
Also, I've tried to combine my traditional style a bit more into the digital one. Digital art is still hard😑.
I'm planning on getting a "Magnus Archives" tattoo real soon! This brainrot been rotting in my head for years and I'm about to bite the bullet and get the silly TMA tattoo.
Also WHO GONNA TELL ME THAT RUSTY QUILL MADE EX ALTIORA PERFUME?! SMELL LIKE OZONE!?
broke: doorkeay/gerrymichael (never even met, shipped together purely on the basis of visual aesthetics, no connection on a thematic level other than a gertrude betrayal)
woke: gerryMIKE (enemies to lovers hatefucking; guy whose occupation is hunting down and destroying occult books vs guy who literally sold his soul to one; probably share a taste in music; both highly knowledgeable on forbidden subjects; man who made a faustian pact with one demon to get a different breed of demon off his back vs man who juggles at least a few patronages at once to maintain some semblance of freedom; a ruthless pragmatic and a burnout cynic; in another universe probably would have sat next to one another in the same lecture hall in uni)
I wanna be an Avatar of The Vast because I want to go up to a super high sky scraper observatory crowded with people scream "See ya later fuckers!" Flip everyone off then jump backwards off the building with no consequences. Because Simon Fairchild was right scaring the shit out of innocent bystanders is funny as fuck.
I'm trying to turn a broken sketchbook into Ex Altiora as a prop for my Gerry cosplay and I completely underestimated how hard making the stencil would be
I've taken it upon myself to lower my atrociously high screen time so I'm getting into traditional art again! I felt like posting the drawings I did for the first two pages of my new TMA-themed sketchbook because I quite like them
Convinced a friend to listen to The Magnus Archives and happened to be present when she got to MAG4 Page Turner. She just finished saying that if Ex Altiora keeps giving you vertigo, sir, then maybe you should PUT IT DOWN as it's clearly cursed or something when the words broke off into a yawn. "Sorry," she said. "Listening to these episodes always makes me so very sleepy. Anyway, on to the next-"
