little drawing of the freak <3

I haven’t been super active lately ‘cause I’ve been extremely busy with university stuff, but things are wrapping up now so I’m hoping to start making more TGS stuff soon. Especially edits. I’ve been missing making edits.

OOOO WAIT I LOVE WEIRD AND OBSCURE J&H ADAPTATIONS. Here's some of the ones I've consumed:

The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Rock 'n' Roll Musical - I know this one's gotta be obscure cause most of the songs have less than 1000 listens on Spotify, and the YouTube upload of the movie has less than 4k views. I discovered it through a DVD copy I found on eBay, and it might be one of the most cursed things I own. Watching this with my friends was truly the experience of all time - it was mostly just a mix of us laughing and exchanging baffled and/or horrified faces for an hour and a half. Here's the link to the YouTube upload (I apologize in advance):

Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (The Colonial Radio Theatre) - This is an hour and a half long audio dramatization of the original book. While it mostly stays true to the original story, it does make some changes that I find really interesting, especially towards the end. Also I like the voice acting. I feel like this one is really worth checking out if you're a big fan of the original novella. It can be purchased for $8.99 on Apple Books or $10.49 on Audible. To give an idea of what it's like, here's the TikTok that made me want to get it in the first place:

The Strange Case of Mr. Hyde (Dark Horse Comics) - This is a four-issue comic series meant to take place after the events of the Jekyll & Hyde story (seems to draw more from the films than from the original novella). It involves a detective teaming up with an imprisoned Jekyll/Hyde to track down a serial killer who shows a lot of similarities to Hyde. Truthfully this isn't one of my favorite Jekyll and Hyde stories. It has some cool art and there are elements of it I enjoy, but they made a lot of writing choices that I'm not the most fond of. That being said, I still got some enjoyment out of it because I love Jekyll and Hyde media in general, no matter how good or bad it is, and there's a chance that other Jekyll and Hyde fans could get some enjoyment out of it as well, so I figured it was at least worth throwing out there. I bought my issues of it off of eBay, but it looks like you can buy all four issues digitally through Dark Horse for $1.99 a piece. Here's what the covers look like:

Okay that's all I can think of rn, sorry for the rambling. I just really like yapping about Jekyll & Hyde adaptations :)

Life is unfortunate when I’ve literally, completely run out of Jekyll and Hyde adaptations to watch…

If anybody knows any crazy obscure ones please send them my way lowkey…HELP A CRAZY PERSON OUT!!!

George Washington has now been summoned as Archer Class in Fate/Grand Order

uhhhhh i can do this thing

Reblog to share your weirdest flex:

Mine is that I know an entire song in Portuguese, and a few pop song covers in Chinese

[quartzteph]

bro what are they yapping about

bonus rambling + art stuff under the cut :3

for clarity’s sake this is metaphorical, re!jekyll doesn’t actually see or hear a tiny jekangel or hydevil on his shoulder, but this silly little visual popped in my head and i just really felt like drawing it. this was partially an excuse to draw re!jekyll going through it, and partially an excuse to make a little “erm, actually” jekyll, cause i love when he’s a punchable little nerd :)

this is kind of a continuation of that one concept i mentioned in my first re!jekyll post, where intense emotions or internal conflict can trigger green goop. in this case, it’s the latter (as represented by the shoulder angel and devil, a classic visual representation of internal conflict). i ended up keeping the goop subtle here, with it just showing up as sweat, but do know that it can (and will) get worse in more intense situations.

the best (and dumbest) way i can think to describe re!jekyll’s characterization is as follows: jekyll would never bite someone because he is a gentleman, and biting people is extremely improper. hyde would eagerly bite someone with zero hesitation or remorse. re!jekyll would bite someone in the heat of the moment, then instantly feel guilty and start apologizing profusely. duality.

here’s the initial sketch + the final piece without the mini jekyll & hyde fellas

side note: this drawing has made me realize that my steven universe era might have had a slight lasting impact on the way i draw. oops.

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY TGS!!!!!

I've had this design for a recombined Jekyll rolling around in my head for months now, so I finally took the time to draw him. For the sake of clarity I'll refer to him as Re!Jekyll (short for Recombined Jekyll) (also the prefix "re-" feels kinda fitting for him, since he is whole once again). I have many ideas/headcanons for him, but I'll put all that under the cut :)

As for the drawing itself, I tried to mimic the look of the comic for the most part. (Note: Many of the colors used here were colorpicked from the comic to ensure accuracy.) I wanted him to look less like a 50/50 mix of Jekyll and Hyde and more like a Hyde-ish Jekyll, so I opted to give him the same face and hairstyle as Jekyll, but with some Hyde-like qualities. Aside from the obvious blonde streak, his hair is fluffier, messier, and a bit longer. The hair tuft/sideburn things in front of his ears are based on a mix of the hair tufts that hang in front of Hyde’s ears and university Jekyll’s sideburns. While he mostly wears red, he likes to include a touch of green, as seen here in his cravat. Also he gets the dark eye circles, as a treat. (I just really like Hyde's dark eye circles and don't have enough self-restraint to not give them to Re!Jekyll.)

Bonus doodles cause i love my freak son:

Various headcanon ramblings about him (plus drawing process) under the cut:

When he's trying to look more respectable, he uses his now-longer bangs to hide his green eye. At first, he also attempts to make his hair look neater, but this is a near impossible task that he eventually gives up on. (He is doomed to live out the fuzzy-headed mad scientist stereotype.)

When people question his sudden change in appearance, he claims his blonde streak and green eye are the result of a chemical formula splashing him in the face (á la Two-Face). Yeah this sounds a little far-fetched, but he is charming enough to get away with it. (Besides, he knows way more about alchemy than they do, who are they to question it?)

This sudden merging of identities is initially super disorienting. It takes him a while to get used to it. (In the first few days, he keeps referring to himself with "we". He eventually breaks this habit tho.)

Has a bit of an identity crisis. (I'm specifically envisioning a scene of him staring at his wardrobe, mostly full of reds and greens, and getting stuck because he doesn't know what color to wear.)

Jekyll and Hyde were so used to having someone constantly there, listening to them and yapping in their ears (or in their heads, rather). Now, for Re!Jekyll, life feels so quiet. It's peaceful, but also a little lonely.

Has a bad habit of talking to himself aloud. When he's alone, he sometimes has whole conversations or debates with himself.

Struggles more with the mundane parts of his job due to having Hyde's impulsiveness and wanderlust. He occasionally has to take little breaks from all the paperwork when he becomes too restless.

He's still goopy. Moments of extreme emotion (stress, anger, excitement, etc.) can trigger the green goop. (Think that one scene in Ch. 14 when the priestess startles Hyde, causing goop to spew from his face.) I like to imagine the guilt of everything he's done hitting him and causing him to have a "that one scene in Howl's Moving Castle" moment.

In rare moments of severe inner turmoil or repression, he may even go into convulsions in addition to the goop, as if his body is trying to transform. (Feel free to disregard this one if you wish, this is 100% just me being super self-indulgent cause I love angst.)

Despite his many newfound struggles, he’s actually very happy! He now knows that Lanyon loves and accepts every part of him, and this helps him to better love and accept himself.

And now drawing process images! Shoutout to that one Re!Jekyll who is way too excited about something:

[quartzteph]

thinking about how lanyon started out in this story criticizing rachel for her ‘hyde could never do anything wrong, everyone else is to blame’ attitude

only for him to adopt the same attitude once it was jekyll

tgs narrative parallels you will always be famous to me

[quartzteph]

feelin alive, might set a city block on fire idk <3

ITS HALLOWEEN YIPPEE!!!!! I will take any excuse to wear the Hyde cosplay (both because it is fun and because I spent wayyy to much time sewing this cape just for it to hang in my closet all the time). Anyways here’s the full thing:

Random render of my Jekyll sculpt. Hoping to finally finish and color him next week :)

[quartzteph]

i don’t draw very often but the sonic movie brainrot commanded it so uh. here’s tgs hyde as chaos emerald robotnik

[quartzteph]

most normal and sane edward hyde activity (if any tgs character can sit on their own head, it’s gotta be the guy who rearranges his bones on a daily basis)

After several months of making TGS edits, I finally did a Will Wood one! Took me long enough, he's only like my favorite musical artist of all time.

Jekyll Bust Jekyll Bust Jekyll Bust

I was supposed to make a simple concept art sketch for my 3D modeling class but I got a little carried away… This was based on a mix of Barrymore Jekyll (for the face) and TGS Jekyll (for the hair)

[quartzteph]

Last edit of the year is to a song from what is likely the most niche piece of Jekyll and Hyde media I have ever consumed. Truly the experience of all time. My friends were traumatized. Anyway, happy new year everyone!
