Truth be said: no driver would have chance against each duo that these four could make - because they were/are/will be their each other’s threats.

4th horseman - Death

(click for better quality)

1st horseman - Conquest 2nd horseman - War 3rd horseman - Famine

timelapse and random details under the cut

this one is i think the simplest design out of the 4, mainly cuz i didn't have to design a weapon for him (but figuring out the placement of the tentacles was still kind of a pain)

the apple is meant to represent nightmare, and the 3 souls are for the murder time trio. killer's is obvious but the other 2 are based on my headcanons for each of them (maybe gonna write something about that sometime? idk)

the background is supposed to be leaves, though idk if it really reads that way (or as vegetation at all)

so

Why Death for Nightmare?

death's attributes are: the color "pale" (as in greenish/yellowish white, or the color of dead bodies), hades (as in the place people go when they die), and death (self-explanatory).

nightmare's color is always kinda dark, but i've seen it as purple, blue, cyan/teal-ish and kinda green, so it being so vague matches with "pale". also that's why i made the background that color.

hades is a bit more tricky, but it has pretty much the same link as death does. i'm going a bit more metaphorical with this one so hear me out

back in his og timeline, nightmare died when he ate the apple. whether or not "night" and "nightmare" are the same person, he never was the same afterwards and his psyche has been completely destroyed/traumatized. but he also killed people afterwards. he decimated the village he grew up in. i have my own idea on whether or not that was out of self-defense or out of cruelty, but regardless, he brought death to them all.

(this is where the metaphorical part comes in) when nightmare found the bad sanses, they were all in a pretty bad state. dust was all alone in the underground, with no food or electricity, killer was without the ability to reset in a world that (rightfully) hated him, and horror was starving along with everyone he knew. they were pretty much all about to die, and what nightmare did was take them away, never to see their timeline again. so basically nightmare can be interpreted as literal death, killing them and taking them to some kind of "afterlife" (could be heaven or hell depending on how he treats them)

so in short, nightmare has "died" in a way, so victim of death, and brought death to others (the villagers and the 3 sanses)

(also i wanted nightmare to be death because it's the most important horseman and the last one of the 4)

timelapse! (i forgot to hit record at the start TT)

If Adam and his sons are the four horsemen of the apocalypse

I like to think they were a shout-out to the main boys from South Park

Cain - Kyle Broflovski

Abel - Kenny McCormick

Seth - Stan Marsh

Adam - Eric Cartman

Happy Late Birthday Doodles! Way late to that, my apologies. Nevertheless I have an idea for you that hopefully makes up for it. Death meeting legendaries in Pokémon, since I know you love both series. Never played myself, but I know some things about the games and obviously did watch some of the show and a few movies.

That said, I could see Death meeting Darkrai for sure. Perhaps Mew and Mew-Two as well. The last I can really think of are Giratina and Arceus. If you have other meet up ideas tho I'm all ears as per usual. I only know so many legendaries readily.

To say I’ve been inspired by this ask…feels like an understatement XD

Many thanks for the birthday wishes! ^^

Still haven’t finished Hazbin Hotel yet but it inspired me to make some oc concepts based on Lucifer and the four horsemen , idk if I’ll finish any beyond sketches though

My occasional Novaturi lovemail chat

I've been thinking a lot about Novaturi over the break so far. /POS

They are rotting my brain oh no !!!! The sillies ever. I think out of any magical girl based world I've ever read about or anything like that, I think I like this one a whole lot. . . It's weird to describe but the way you describe how their powers work and stuff just scratches my brain. I looked back at the horsemen and their powers and if it is possible I adore in detail descriptions or even examples so if you are so inclined I would love more elaboration on those :))

Project Martyr has been crowding my mind and I don't think it will ever really go away. . .Project Martyr's story is just a work of art and pulls on my heart strings and leaves me sick in the best way. I could never have enough of them I love them all so much. . . I could go on and on about Project Martyr to be honest. I know you might not have anymore information about Project Martyr BUT I can't help but ask just in case (Free peneume guys I love them WHAT)

Gosh I think this has already been touched on by Paris anon, but your characters really are relatable, and I think that's what causes me to feel so emotional when it comes to Novaturient and it's characters. The more I get to know about some of these characters it really is like "damn. . .they are more relatable than I thought they would be" and I think that's kind of uncommon to see in a lot of media. Like some of the characters in media are relatable, but only to a certain extent if that makes sense. I feel like Novaturient represents so many different kinds of people and personalities accurately and in a complex way that really makes them interesting, which only makes them more relatable because as people, I don't think we are cut out as plain black or white. Some of these characters really do make me want to cry tears or just hug them to be honest. I like how Novaturient can have that feeling where obviously it's fiction, but it can represent some very real world things.

This was honestly just an excuse to fangirl again. I had questions earlier but hell it's 10:30 at night and I am worn the fuck out !!! So I kind of forgot everything I was going to ask earlier. But what's a better way to settle down (not) than get some information or just appreciate this work of art. Gosh sorry if this sound weird at all 😭

I hope you have been having a productive winter break and if you have been cooking anything as of late *wink wink nudge nudge* rather that's art or otherwise, I would love to see !!! /nf

Sorry I don't really have any questions this time. . . I think it was dire to dedicate this ask mostly to Novaturi appreciation. . .

Make sure to take care of yourself over break, and relax (゜∇^d)!!

EVERYBODY WAKE UP NEW ULYANON ASK !!!!!

RAHGGHGHGH thank you so much ulyanon... it means so much (I KNOW I SAY THIS ALL THE TIME BUT I TRULY DO FEEL THIS WAY!!) I STILL FIND IT SO CRAZY THAT THIS WORLD IS CAPABLE OF BRAINROTTING OTHER PEOPLE TOO (OOOO MY INFECTIOUS DISEASE: NOVATURIENT) (THIS IS SO POSITIVE BTW !!!!) i love opening my inbox and seeing your asks 😭😭😭 i greatly appreciate it...

i want to make a unique magical girl setting that literally caters to everything i love and i'm just glad that there can always be a piece of art that is for everyone

i love ramming as many references as possible in my characters. you have no idea how many layers the symbolism and references to their backstories there are. most of this is an analysis on how it ties into why i chose the name for each power

war's check and checkmate is just the finishing move to kill the king, pretty standard chess move

catalan opening: is a opening move where "white plays d4 and c4 and fianchettoes the white bishop on g2. " (their color scheme is mainly white, so they're able to move first)

bright side promotion: whenever a piece crosses the other end of the board, they're able to gain the range of a higher piece (so therefore when activated, it can change one of the gun attachment to a different kind)

queenside: the placement of the queen (a or d)

king and queen's gambit: self explanatory. cheesy chess move, buffs either the king or queen piece

en passant capture: a move where a pawn takes out another pawn. war's tactics are mostly guerilla warfare, and they're tasked to kill deco/eve

for conquest's power, no man's land is a term in war where its neither side's territory so it's free to conquer.

got your six is a military saying like 9 o clock for directions, basically saying I've got your back. it's a kind of literal interpretation, that he can take other people's body parts behind their backs

on the frontlines is pretty self explanatory, on the front lines of a war

bite the bullet is reference to famine (since sometimes conquest isn't there it's pestilence) and also how conquest'll revive after their HP drops to 1. people will also bite a bullet to prevent making too many sounds while getting nursed back to health if shot

law giver is what famine (biblical horseman) was called with their scales. famine has 3 modes they can be in, moth, butterfly, locust.

fasting: emperor moths don't actually eat when they're full-fledged adults, they only rely on the food they ate as caterpillars so fasting is with the moth phase. it reflects on famine's own reluctance to take care of themselves when it truly matters

butterflies are Barmecide feast because Barmecide means like illustrious and pretty, they'll be able to eat a lovely feast (plus butterflies are considered the prettiest insect). famine often overeats and snacks on things and fluctuates between eating alright to eating incredibly unhealthily.

pestilence is an wide spread epidemic and is famine can be replaced by pestilence depending on the version. locusts and famine go hand in hand as locuts are KNOWN to do absolutely destroy fields of crops. only natural that the locust themed power is the most dangerous and Almost an instakill.

they also have three sub powers because they are the strongest in theory of the horsemen (endless cycle of sucking energy from famine feeds into soul power etc etc)

all of the names of death's power roster comes from the german philosphy "gott ist tott" or "god is dead"

ashes to ashes reflects on humanity's usage of fire to burn things that matter most to them, therefore it can also self harm

dust to dust takes "into account all phases of the item's existence from construction to eventual disposal."

earth to earth, in nature, without society, nothing would matter, so manmade things such as weapons wouldn't have existed

und wir haben ihn getötet is a further continuation of "gott ist tott", meaning "and we killed him". this part is in german because... eto... it sounded cool... and also reflects death's hidden motivations for her actions.

damnatio memoriae is the only power name that isn't tied to "gott ist tot", instead it comes from the concept of killing everything that made a person, essentially purging all memory of them from history and this earth (i believe i learned this from wendigoon's divine comedy recap? so it ties back into catholicism/the bible)

the rest of the answering of the ask will be under the cut... I DIDN'T EXPECT THE HORSEMEN RAMBLE TO BE SO LONG?!??!!? 😭😭😭

(this is the only image of the horsemen i have at this moment. war and death making out._

THANK YOU SO MUCH... CRIES.... genuinely machina mortem is one of the oldest novaturi stories so i'm glad it finally is doing what it's intended to do... (LET'S FUCKING GO I CAN WRITE!!!!)

in mm news, i have been cooking . kind of (its been all over the place since i jump around in scenes a lot (i get so bored easily) so its hard for me to keep track of when i wrote things) I'VE BEEN SO INSPIRED!! I'VE NEVER HAD SO MANY BANGER IDEAS

this is how machina mortem's document is looking at the moment... (only one chapter i'm okay with saying is fully finished and it's like. the 3rd to last chapter LMAOOO)

I WILL SAY AT LEAST PENEUME SHOWS UP IN A FLASHBACK 😭😭😭 I'M SORRY GUYS I HAD TO SACK THEM IN ORDER TO KEEP THE STORY AS STRONG AS IT CAN BE

I'M REALLY HAPPY ALL MY CHARACTERS ARE ABLE TO BE SO UNIQUE YET RELATABLE... i've definitely grown in my art and writing and frankly it feels awesome. i'm so happy to be where i am in my story, making things for me and allowing myself to flourish in storytelling...

it's very important for me to show the complexities of being human. i don't want to be scared to depict some very toxic behaviors but still accepting that they're human but it SHOULDN'T be condoned. people are flawed and make mistakes, it doesn't make it okay, but there needs to be more consideration for complexity in the world...

it helps a lot that even though these people would be fucking be in jail for thousands of lifetimes for their war crimes that you can still see where their behaviors stem from and their motivations.... i'm glad that they can still be sympathetic and people can see themselves in them despite it all...

i'm honestly pretty scared that my characters overlap too much? (happens when you start off by using archetypes and then branching out...) like eve and moloch... they were too similar and i was afraid i was writing the same personality... but honestly i'm glad that they can still be seen as diff people...

grahh thank you for taking the time to write me this ask ulyanon... wahh it means so much hehe :) YOU BETTER TAKE CARE TOO!!!! STAY HYDRATED AND WELL RESTED!!!

i've been mostly taking it easy... though the mental illness is kinda hard to feel like i'm doing anything productive... cries

in the meantime, here's some goofy ahhh doodles i did last night

While I'm impressed with what they kept in for Good Omens season 1, I'm so sad that we missed the Four Other Bikers of the Apocalypse because those are some of the funniest scenes in all literature in my opinion.
