More Hand Practice With The Boys

[ID copied from alt: A digital painting of Parker from the chin down. He is standing in front of a bathroom mirror with one hand on the sink and holding a razor in the other. Shaving supplies are piled along the back of the sink. In the background of the mirror is a doorway, and through that we can see Arthur sitting at his piano, staring distractedly at Parker with a blush on his cheeks.]

do you think parker and arthur ever—

This was inspired by a discussion in the Dreamlands server of Parker being Arthur’s gay awakening as they shared that tiny apartment.

details under the cut!

I started this last October and Procreate tells me i spent 45 hours on it 😭 i feel like my rendering skills were completely different at the start from what they became by the end

hi! is there any chance you have a drawing of your oscar in color? couldn't find it and i need it for.. reasons (reference) no worries if not tho!

surprisingly no! (well, not Yet) BUT here’s a quick thing I did for ya for color refs <3 they don’t have to be 1 for 1 accurate either go crazy

[ID copied from ALT: A four panel comic showing Noel, Arthur and John during the diner scene in part 39. Panel one: Noel, with his coffee cup to his lips, says “Well, I appreciate the perspective, but… with respect. I was asking John.”  Panel two: John, blushes, says “W… What?”, while Arthur, with a shocked expression says, “Oh. I…” Panel three: Noel tilts his coffee cup towards Arthur and says “Presumably, John can hear me.” In the fourth panel, John smiles wide and says “I can.” Arthur says “He… I can.”

Two sketches based on malevolent part 39. The first sketch shows a bust of Arthur looking offended while John looks uncertain. Arthur says “you think I couldn’t do that if I could just see again?” And John says “well. I don’t know that’s why I’m asking”. An arrow points to a second sketch showing Arthur kicking a crying bleeding man into the floor while John looks down nervously. End ID.]

My two favorite parts of this episode were “John gets to experience a human connection” and “Arthur curb stomps a guy just to prove he can, probably.”

Bonus Noel/Charlie concept sketches and lil Arthur and Noel colors under the cut

all I do is draw handsome men being obscenely homoerotic with one another

you want to listen to malevolent podcast so bad (also please no spoilers in the tags im only on 22 episode rn)

[ID copied from ALT: a digital drawing of Arthur and Kayne from Malevolent. the two are drawn as busts standing in the rain. the drawing is monochromatic, with the only color being the gold of Arthur's eyes and the red of Kayne's pupils. Arthur looks angry and slightly scared. Kayne is looking away from him, shrugging, with a manic grin as he says "you've lost your mind and almost lost you life before..."

a digital drawing in the same style as the previous image. Kayne is now gripping Arthur's face, pulling it towards him, so that they are eye to eye. his bloody hands leave a mark on Arthur. his expression now serious, he says "so you'll be fine". End ID.]

If they were going to get you boy, they would have by now

I wanna know the reasoning behind the little hat people give John sometimes. I love it. I wanna know where that came from. Who put that on him and how can I kiss you

we talked about john wearing lipstick and leaving a kissy mark on arthur's forehead - he probably got the idea from a movie watching the female lead leave a lipstick mark on the male lead (i think he would get many ideas about how humans act from movies 🤭)((i also think he enjoys embarrassing arthur above anything else))

[Start ID: Two sketches of John and Arthur from Malevolent. Arthur is a stout man with styled back, dark hair, only one spit curl in the middle, and a mustache. He's wearing a coat with large lapels, a simple collared shirt, and a short tie. John is a very tall human with dark, curled hair, and pronounced cheekbones. He wears a headscarf tied underneath his chin and has 1930's styled makeup with dark eyeshadow, pencil thin eyebrows, and bright red lipstick. He's also wearing a fur lined coat with fur at the lapels and fur at the sleeve ends, as well as gloves. His fingers are drawn sharp, even while wearing gloves. In the first sketch, John leans down and kisses Arthur gently on the forehead, cradling his face with one hand. He says, "Thank you, Arthur". Arthur lets himself be leaned into the kiss, closing one eye on the side that's towards John, the other open with slight surprise. He has a small blush on his face and a stray hair has gone up to show his surprise. In the second sketch, Arthur looks blankly forward with a large blush on his face, up to his ears, and a prominent red lipstick mark on his forehead. Beside him, John is represented by a simplified head and laughs "Pft-" with an amused, fanged smile and a small blush. End ID.]
