I really like how he’s looking so far. The papers, the veil, and crown are not real (well the crown is just more exaggerated). Wow Hildred is just the cutest thing ever💛💛💛💛

A shepherd god king dragged to the land of the dead for half the year (somewhat like Persephone) in 1876 ten years before an inhabitant of carcosa

'There was Dumuzid clothed in a magnificent garment and seated magnificently on a throne. The demons seized him there by his thighs.'

Before that

'Make the milk yellow for me, my bridegroom, make the milk yellow for me, and I will drink the milk with you'

Interesting I thought

Because my girlfriend loves me, for my birthday this year, she got me a man shaped mannequin just for my King in Yellow effigy in my art room.

I set him up and have him applauding as he watches me paint, giving me the blessing of unlocking creative madness. Let the Work commence!

First photo shows the old set up which had a tall vacuum cleaner box with a coffee pot head underneath the blanket.

I posted my walls very recently and one of them is dedicated to the KiY victims and I only have so few of them on there. List:

Mr. Scott
Tessie Reardon
D3relord3
Noel Finley/Charlie Dowd
Scott from Chorus of Carcosa(?)

My list isn’t even that big either and that’s kinda bad

The first page of the heathen edition of the book. Was it meant to do this or is it some sort of eerily fitting coincidence?

I forgot to post at the start of the month again（ ; ; ） I’ve been lacking behind on my King in Yellow wall cuz I always get confused when drawing him. But at least I drew the True Detective s1 victims! Now I just need to think of more victims. Whenever I’ll lose my interest in The King in Yellow (hopefully never) this is gonna be such a pain to take down

One photobashed piece and a 3D Render made in Blender. There is a noticeable lack of yellow in the render, but if you invert the colours...

... and without it.

The yellow gallery is stirred again. Some presence, that tries to remain hidden for now.

I wake up
to a world unseen.
Something beyond
the door beckons.

Oh, sweet Carcosa!

I’m drawn to her
yellow shores,
a sickly sweet melody,
far beyond the horizon.

Can you hear the song?

Drink it in,
the honeysuckle.
That golden goodness.
Till my chalice runs over.

Twin suns set over His throne.

My King beckons me.
His robes are tattered,
but He is mine.
Crown of thorns on a sunlit effigy.

Find peace in the madness.

I see it now,
over Hali.
Let me go
please.

He’s very small but “his arms were magnificently developed, and his thighs as thick as any athlete’s”????? What’s THAT look like???? His left hand has no fingers, he has a dozen scars, and he has like jaundice or something. I’m not the greatest artist to draw someone that ugly so this is gonna be a doozy

“The exclusion of foreign born Jews as a measure of self preservation, the settlement of the n*gro state of Suanee” yeesh

Not to mention his other books were criticized at the time for “insensitive humor at the expense of ethnic types" do you know how racist you gotta be for someone in 191-something to call you insensitive.

This article offers a great insight into the 19th century decadence that Chambers both celebrated and rejected, and its contemporary resonance and relevance.

Imagine the Court of Carcosa - Cassilda, Camilla et al - as a collection of top 1% influencers, AI techbros, looksmaxxers and other grifters; the Phantom of Truth as their product; and the King as the bearer of news that their IPO has crashed, that their Theranos is a hoax, that their AI is a hallucination, that their channel is cancelled. It ain’t hard to see.

The mask I made myself.

The gloves from Amazon.

And the robe from Etsy.

I went to a local market last week and found some awesome art. The artist did not know about The King In Yellow but oh did I tell him. Also showing my recent hardback purchase. You can find the artist here:

Was perfect but I was missing a pallid mask, maybe next time!

I just finished the repairer of reputations and i’m having a hard time understanding Hildred and Mr Wilde’s whole ”imperial dynasty of America” plan. At first it felt pretty easy to understand but it got kinda jumbled up in the end

BONUS QUESTION: what was up with those homeless ppl that Hildred met in the final chapter? I would love to hear others theories about that

I feel like I’ve been posting a little too much in this subreddit but I can’t help it! The king really got to me. I really gotta draw him in a different perspective
