The Spirit Mercurius Alchemical Dragon

𝔖𝔠𝔞𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔪𝔟𝔢𝔯 13

The spiritus mercurialis and their transformations represented as a monstrous dragon. It is a quaternity, in which the fourth is at the same time the unity of the three, the unity being symbolized by the mystagogue Hermes. The three are; Luna, Sol, and coniunctio Solis et Lunae in Taurus, the House of Venus. Together they form ☿= Mercurius

notes from Nazari's allegorical alchemical epic Three Dreams

Listen, see, and understand my words; and write them deep in your heart: for what I shall tell you is that which many seek, but few find; and many know and do, but few comprehend; for many see me, but few recognize me. Listen now, and understand if you can, and you will learn all: I am the Hen, or the worst and most ferocious Dragon, and I endure throughout time. I revive myself from death, and kill the death that killed me. I resuscitate the corpses that I created; and, living in death, kill myself: for which you should rejoice, since without me, and my life, you could not rejoice. I carry poison in my head, but the remedy is in my tail, which I bite in my fury. Whoever tries to sport with me dies by my penetrating gaze. Whoever bites me must first bite himself; if I bite him, death bites him in the head, unless he bites me first; for my bite is medicine for my bite. It is in the high mountains that I find my rest and repose, yet it is in the plains and valleys of the earth, and in the dunghills, that I reside; it is in the vaporous water that I am conceived, yet it is in the air and fire that I find my food. My sweat smells of the grave: he who does not understand this will learn nothing of me. Hear me: I am known to all people, races, and tribes, to the poor as well as to the rich; and they all call me worthless, and countless other names and epithets. But anyone who knew me well would call me precious indeed. I am a stranger in my own country, but known to all climates of the world.

 Whoever sees me, or has seen me, does not recognize me; and whoever neither sees nor knows me, seeks me. My father and my mother conceived me, but I first conceived them. I am father and son; I am mother, father, and son; I am invisible when I fly, and impalpable when I flee through the air, but visible and palpable to the touch. Therefore recognize me, and kill me, and know that I cannot die by the sword, or other arms; but present me with a mirror, and my own reflection kills me. If you feed me in fire, so that first my members change shape; and then my body is purged of all fatal poison; and then you see my body, soul and spirit joined together; then you will prove superior to all. He who hears me, but does not understand, consumes his days in useless labors, and employs his time to no purpose

My Larry and adjacent characters master image so far.

Hank, Larry, Keeg, Negative Spirit, Rebis, Mercurius, Danny the Brick, Larry pushing strollers, orchids for Larry.

I'm probably going to do a better Mercurius (instead of just copying the Negative Spirit and making it the black with the yellow outline), definitely more Rebis images (and more Larry, of course<3), Keeg Bovo (comic), Valentina (comic because I want her with the bandages although I might give her like a greenish glow like her TV negative spirit), and Negative Girl from Teen Titans Go! (she's so silly). Maybe Eleanor? The problem with Eleanor is I'm not very good at realistic faces so we'll see. Ohh. I need to do Keeg in larval form, definitely.

I do also want to draw Larry from each comic iteration, maybe some based on appearances in other adaptations (maybe try pre-Doom Patrol Titans episode, the other Teen Titans cartoon, and uh the other few like cameos he's had in stuff idk). Also I guess other versions of Valentina, depending on how I'm feeling about actually drawing faces.

These Streetlights' By Mercurius Would Guide You Back Home Get ready to groove to the beats of love with Mercurius, the dynamic father and son duo from the UK. Their latest release, "Streetlights," is making waves in the music scene, and we're here to dive into its soulful vibes. "Streetlights" isn't just your average love song. It's a journey illuminated by the glow of street lamps, guiding lovers home to each other's arms. With its blend of progressive and classic rock, this track is like a warm embrace on a chilly night. Clocking in at a whopping six minutes, "Streetlights" isn't in a hurry to end the magic. It's a duet between two souls yearning to reunite after a long day's work. And guess what? They've got the talented Jasmine Crichton on board to add her own touch of magic to the mix. We're chatting with James and Paul Brown, the masterminds behind Mercurius, to uncover the inspiration behind "Streetlights" and what makes their music so darn special. From their past hits like "Make a Difference" to their latest gem, Mercurius is all about spreading warmth and meaning through their tunes. Join us as we delve into the heart of "Streetlights" and discover why Mercurius is a name you'll want to remember. It's time to let the music light up your soul! Listen to Streetlights below https://open.spotify.com/track/14JG5g7gB2kXexJvWL9Cgx Follow Mercurius on Spotify Facebook Instagram What is your stage name Mercurius Is there a story behind your stage name? We wanted to distance ourselves from our original name James & Paul as we wanted to be seen to be more of a band than a duo. Mercurius is a Roman god and seemed like a cool name Where do you find inspiration? We take inspiration from artists who have achieved success without compromising like band such as Radiohead, Muse etc. We like to think we're the same although you need to be careful as it's so easy for other bands tunes and melodies to fester in your subconscious. Lyrically themes can range from current affairs, past wars, to love and family What was the role of music in the early years of your life? Music can be uplifting, depressing, motivational etc etc. It has always been important in our lives Are you from a musical or artistic family? There are some musicians in the family but no one of note. There was a grandad who used to play piano all night in pubs and would be paid in alcohol throughout the night. I always wondered what he would have sounded like by closing time! Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? The attraction of doing something you love as a job (we still work so obviously haven't achieved this yet) [caption id="attachment_54302" align="alignnone" width="1440"] The attraction of doing something you love as a job[/caption] How did you learn to sing/write/to play? James has had guitar lessons but Paul is self taught. James has always had a great singing voice What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? James isn't one for seeing other bands perform. Paul's first gig was U2 and The Comsat Angels at the Mayfair in Newcastle How could you describe your music? Uplifting (usually), original, mass appeal. Paul's songs are guitar driven while James's are vocally driven Describe your creative process. Basically this is to mess around on the guitar until you play something and you think hold on I like this. The song just grows from there What is your main inspiration? The guitar, mostly originating on the acoustic What musician do you admire most and why? As above, we admire bands who haven't had to compromise their music. Radiohead are the standout band in that respect Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? James's original taste in music was hard core dance so you could say he's evolved quite a bit, although he's always been a fan of artists with great harmonies like Simon and Garfunkel. We've become a lot more confident in our music since we've had an albeit small amount of success. We also now have a regular routine in the studio which helps

Who do you see as your main competitor? We don't really see other bands as competitors. We're all in this together What are your interests outside of music? James runs a gym in Newcastle and so is very into his fitness. We're both massive Newcastle United fans. Paul also keeps fit through boxing training, running etc If it wasn't a music career, what would you be doing? What we're doing now which is James in his gym and Paul in his accountancy practice What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? Spotify royalties are pitiful and should be looked into but they appear to be too powerful to be questioned about this. Coming from the North East is also an obstacle for anyone wanting a music career although Sam Fender has hopefully helped with this. Neputism is also a massive problem in the music industry If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? Grants to young kids starting out so they can afford decent guitars and amps etc Why did you choose this as the title of this project? Streetlights is James's song which has a simple theme about coming home to your loved ones https://open.spotify.com/artist/5WJc2Akz6lLwSnEnAFdzL1?si=qJbSO4jUT1-19NWtItnTJg What are your plans for the coming months? We have 4 or 5 amazing tracks we want to get recorded before August then, if these have been received well, put a proper band together to do some gigs Do you have any artistic collaboration plans We get asked all the time but it's really hard to fit extra projects in at the minute. James has a friend who is doing quite well in the dance scene so we're always up for seeing what he can do with our songs What message would you like to give to your fans? Please support us by downloading our songs which in turn means we will be driven to go on the road where you will be able to see us perform live

Magic Monday

Everyone, we’d like you all to meet Mercurius. He is a human wizard from the Shard of Esper on Alara. From an early age Mercurius exhibited an innate ability to control and mold etherium. When he came of age he was allowed to join the Ethersworn in their progress of the Noble Work. After a year with the organization Mercurius was granted an etherium heart for his attention to detail and the intricate designs he created.

Everything was going Mercurius’ way. With a slight control freak personality he reveled in his ability to mold the very world around him in the way he desired. When the Conflux occurred, Mercurius wasn’t prepared for the Shards to overlap and undo his work. This stress and defeat ignited his planeswalker spark and he traveled to Eldraine.

While there he meets a wide eyed merfolk with a fascination for human ‘artifacts’. Seeing the strange new world he was now a part of through the merfolk’s eyes woke something up inside Mercurius. He came to the realization that he can’t control everything and needs to accept the good with the bad.

Spent far too long avoiding writing this but it's done. Anyway, a comparison or something of Odin and Mercury

i went absolutely BONKERS making outfit ref sheets after making one (1) single good sketch

anyway mercurius (he/they) is my fire genasi chronurgy wizard who got reoutfitted and reskinned after blowing up underneath an icewind dale town fighting an elder brain dragon

the original campaign he was built for and is now an npc for is very much greek myth inspired, hence the original outfit bearing some gentle outfit inspo (mostly from hades because that game is my entire and only personality trait)
