I HAVE FIVE PAGES. LEFT. TO DRAW.

Part 1 of 4

I thought Gale's romance scene in Act 2 was really wonderful and special and decided to make a whole multi-page comic about it.

-trips and drops all my eggs on the ground-

(ID: A small compilation of Kirby series fanart featuring Magolor in various silly and disconnected scenarios, with guest appearances by Marx, Kirby, and the rest of the RtDL team as well. More detailed descriptions and transcripts under the cut. END ID.)

I sketched out most of these months ago while I was playing through KRtDLDX for the first time. The Epilogue was giving me thoughts and the brainworms were feeding. Still, I didn’t really have any big piece ideas for these, so I figured I’d just slap them all into a comp, throw some lines and color on, and call it done. A little loose on context, I admit, but I think they came out okay in the end. I just love drawing this wretched man (and the clown that bothers him).

Sketches started 02/28/23, render started 11/02/23, finished 11/04/23. NOTE: This was originally posted on my deleted account on 11/04/23.

Image desc. & transcripts (in no particular order):

-Magolor points to a barrel, smiling pleasantly, and says “Trust me, it’s foolproof! Now get in~” Marx looks on unimpressed.

-Magolor (in his tattered gray outfit) grabs his head with a look of fear on his face, saying “No one told me there’d be consequences to my actions!”

-Magolor (in his Tome Trackers outfit) winks and twirls his mustache, saying “Of course I’m trustworthy! You can tell by my mustache and ridiculously high IQ!”

-Shopkeeper Magolor holding the Gem Apple sapling and giving the viewer a thumbs-up, saying “That’s right! Spin-off games have canon in ‘em! It’s all over for you lore bitches!”

-Magolor happily lifting Kirby by the hands via Helper mode

-a large human hand squeezing a frightened and very unhappy-looking Magolor

-Magolor smiling smugly while the RtDL gang (off-screen save for their hands) all point their weapons at him (see the Knife Cat meme)

-Magolor showing Marx a Gem Apple, a look of wonder in the jester’s eyes

-Magolor weeping and clutching his head as a pair of large hands reminiscent of his Soul form loom around him, ready to grab

-Shopkeeper Magolor smiling with his hands together, an arrow pointing at him reading “no longer evil :)”

-Magolor (in his tattered gray outfit), first standing neutrally, then looking down at his hands, then shrugging with his eyes shut, saying “Oh, well. Time to learn nothing.”

-Shopkeeper Magolor showing off a Gem Apple to the viewer, saying “This apple cured my sociopathy! Imagine what it could do for you!”

-Magolor and Marx sitting back-to-back on the floor, the former fixing a pocket watch with a screwdriver, the latter propped up on his side watching a Minecraft let’s play on a purple childproof tablet; Mags says, “So, anyway, that’s how I lost everything to a baby, went to hell, fought my demons, and ultimately grew as a person.” Marx responds in disinterest, “Uh huh, sure, buddy.”

-Magolor winking at the viewer with a hand on his chest, saying “Of course I have a heart. Several, in fact! In really nice glass jars.”

-Magolor and Marx holding hands (er, well, Mags holding the end of Marx’s hat like a hand), facing away from each other, looking flustered and nervous; an arrow points at them reading “Shhh… they’re on their first date

-Marx smiling innocently at the viewer, eyes shut, one tooth peeking out, waving the end of his hat; an arrow points at him reading “causes problems on purpose”

-Magolor looking at something off-screen, a hand over his eyes as if to block the sun

-a tear in the background shaped eerily like a smile, a goopy drip connecting top and bottom, a blank red eye in the center peering out from within

Liu Qingge date lineup… I was thinking about how funny it would be to see how dating might change your lifestyle

[luminarai]

took a swan dive into the kent parson tag and rediscovered @bittysthesis ‘parse doing a house tour like matthew gray gubler’ posts and it’s exactly the type of low key but deeply chaotic energy I like to imagine him having

[newvegascowboy]

also im gonna be honest, while i think rdr is a fantastic game and a well written tragedy, i really dont jive with the ultimate message of "nothing is forgiven and nothing gets forgotten". i get that at the core of thing, both John and Arthur have done some pretty heinous shit and that no amount of good deeds can make up for the lives they've taken, but so many people suffer unnecessarily, including them. the whole message of "it doesnt matter if you try" is just like... man. ok i guess.

oh they really are going with ‘pregnancy on the tardis = time lord dna.’ they’re really going with that. okay 👍

Somehow, Gortash has wormed his way into my thoughts and will be featured prominently in my upcoming BG3 fic. Durge x Gortash is great, don’t get me wrong. But I would also *love* to explore a “good tav” corruption arc with him.

sometimes I am like 'boy I am So Normal' and other times I am like 'wow my grandmother sure did give me a lot of undergrad level art criticism to chew on when I was like 13'

READ MORE (but don't)

Sometimes life SUCKS and you just have to cry for 20-30 minutes while being hugged by your husband and kids because you can't make sense of the world.

Cancer can go and get fucked. (I don't have it, no one in my immediate family has it, but a friend does, and if you know me well enough then you probably know who I am talking about...)

here’s another piece I did from playing with gradient mapping- Laurel and Vex just chilling

[rosesutherlandwrites]

Oh lord. As usual, I make a character take a walk in nature and suddenly they're telling me everything about themself.

Also, dear god, I just threw two characters together and made them instafriends, but it turns out it makes sense because holy crap they're both SO ADHD-outgoing coded that I can't even. She thinks he's delightful, he...probably thinks she's girlfriend material (I have bad news sir) Also both of them are so definitely the product of a life spent being told to stop dreaming and seeming, and a clearly desperate to prove their parents wrong? She is essentially only here because of impulsive panic-based decision-making disguised as girl bossing, and meanwhile he up and decided to [redacted for spoilers] because that was obviously an amazing snap decision that can't possibly have dire repercussions for anyone.
