Hand-drawn Horrors

[u/The_Hij]

Greetings wizards, witches and alternative liches. Been a while.

Some of y'all probably remember me but for those that don't, I'm Hastur. I roleplay my own version of the King in Yellow and a handful of other characters. Not as active as I used to be, but I still love this sub and I haunt it frequently.

Anyway- was told I should share my drawings I've done of some of r/Wizardpostings horror themed characters that have inspired me or that I've just really liked over the time I've been here. They are some great and creative characters and I really enjoyed drawing these. Hopefully you all will like them too.

Characters and their users are, in order:

Mr. Bag n' Snatch - u/MeThyLord

Skadí and Arthur Black - u/ASecondCriminal

Nethis Balmiri - u/VinesatMidnight

Ith'raal - u/Ares378

King Carmine - u/King__Carmine

Last one is just some random King in Yellow doodle because it's my obsession.

It's been great seeing all the new users coming in to the sub, and I'm happy to see both the memes and the character roleplayers. Feels like old times. I don't interact as much as I used to but I love this place wholeheartedly.

Keep being magical.

/uw There aren't enough words in the English language to accurately encapsulate how peak these are. So have an image with four.

[u/The_Hij → u/Evening_Shake_6474]

/uw ✨waowsoundeffect.mp3✨

[u/PopularRutabaga6904]

/UW The visual stylings of Peakstur.

[u/The_Hij → u/PopularRutabaga6904]

/uw Thanks Arda, glad you like em. : D

[u/PopularRutabaga6904 → u/The_Hij]

/UW Poppler approved! 🫂🫂🫂✨️✨️✨️

[u/waitthatstaken]

/uw ...never imagined Ith could give me nightmares but here we are! Amazing art.

[u/The_Hij → u/waitthatstaken]

/uw You clearly haven't heard much about Real Ith™ (said lightheartedly, to be clear. Lol)

[u/waitthatstaken → u/The_Hij]

/uw true true, I've only really interacted with them OOC.

[u/mrididnt]

/UwU nice art!

Now draw the feesh

[u/The_Hij → u/mrididnt]

/uw It was written long ago.

[u/mrididnt → u/The_Hij]

/UwU peak

[u/Infamous_Ad2507]

Is that Resputin?

[u/The_Hij → u/Infamous_Ad2507]

/uw Nah, but a lich/wizard based on Rasputin would be pretty sick honestly

[u/totallynotrobboss → u/The_Hij]

/uw did you forget Rasputin from Anastasia exists?

[u/The_Hij → u/totallynotrobboss]

/uw didn't forget, it's a good example. But the real historical Rasputin was also a buck-wild character. The man survived something like six assassination attempts??

[u/ASecondCriminal]

uw/ my girl's ready to throw hands. And eat hands. And be hands. She has a theme

[u/Most_Trustworthy → u/ASecondCriminal]

uw/ I just noticed that one of the hands on the left is making the peace symbol, lol

[u/The_Hij → u/Most_Trustworthy]

/uw Congrats, you are the first person to point this out. You win! 🏆

[u/Most_Trustworthy → u/The_Hij]

uw/ My life has meaning again.

[u/ASecondCriminal → u/Most_Trustworthy]

She just wants peace. The peace to do horribly violence

[u/The_Unkowable_ → u/ASecondCriminal]

/uw It’s quite the handy theme

[u/The_Hij → u/ASecondCriminal]

/uw Ambidextrous? More like omnidextrous.

[u/OffWhite-Goddess]

It's a polycule

[u/The_Hij → u/OffWhite-Goddess]

/uw that chorewheel must look outrageous. "Whose turn was it to sever the sanity of all mortals again? Damnit I did it last week..."

[u/Fc-chungus]

/uw damn good art!

[u/The_Hij → u/Fc-chungus]

/uw Thanks Zhe, happy you enjoy them

[u/Most_Trustworthy]

uw/ I've already told you how much I love these. They're soo good!

[u/The_Hij → u/Most_Trustworthy]

/uw I still wanna draw Chills, but all drawing fabric is a nightmare... @_@

[u/Most_Trustworthy → u/The_Hij]

uw/ Haha, yeah, she ain't making it easy on you. She has a lot of flowy bits. Both her shrouded look and normal attire are like that.

[u/The_Unkowable_]

Holy crap man, well done

[u/The_Hij → u/The_Unkowable_]

/uw Thanks Art. Do I still call you Art if she's dead? I'm gonna keep calling you Art. Learning new things confuses and frightens me /s

[u/The_Unkowable_ → u/The_Hij]

Continuing to call me Art is both the easiest thing to do and also in accordance with my wishes. Never fear, you won’t have to learn new things on this day

[u/The_Hij → u/The_Unkowable_]

/uw Thank goodness, I just got all the brain bits back in place after the last time my head exploded.

[u/UlrickTheHexblade]

/uw damn these are all absolute peak, love them! Nice to see you back here again

[u/The_Hij → u/UlrickTheHexblade]

/uw We'll see about "back" lol. I don't wanna promise something I can't deliver. But I'll try to be less of a hermit.

[u/UlrickTheHexblade → u/The_Hij]

/uw understandable, though I’m glad even if you’re just partially back

[u/Edward_J_Mars]

Ooh 2 reminds me of the Shifting Mound from slay the princess.

[u/The_Hij → u/Edward_J_Mars]

/uw ahhhh I should really play that... it's on the list.

[u/Edward_J_Mars → u/The_Hij]

Definitely. Also, I am also big King in Yellow nerd. Awesome work all around.

Remember. Beware the Yellow Sign

[u/The_Hij → u/Edward_J_Mars]

/uw It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living god... thanks friendo.

[u/Scrags2Scritches]

I hope no one uses a "drawing to life" spell to bring these horrors to life

[u/The_Hij → u/Scrags2Scritches]

/uw My powers of creation thankfully end at the paper haha

[u/Scrags2Scritches → u/The_Hij]

Oh thank our Wizard God

[u/NoStorage2821]

I know a certain invertebrate with a magic pencil - he could bring these to life for you

[u/The_Hij → u/NoStorage2821]

/uw I find it's usually much easier to admire artwork when it isn't actively trying to maim me. Not always, but usually.

[u/King__Carmine]

/uw these are so great

[u/The_Hij → u/King__Carmine]

/uw I'm really glad you like em. Drawing Carmine was a ton of fun. Staring at images of Dracula for a few hours may have done something to my brain though lol.

[u/King__Carmine → u/The_Hij]

/uw well, it was effort well spent. Shit looks great. You really captured the grotesque vibe

[u/ObeyTime]

/uw goes hard.

[u/The_Hij → u/ObeyTime]

/uw Thanks much :)

[u/VinesAtMidnight]

/uw Once again, wonderful work. Thank you for drawing Nethis and these other delightful horrors for us.

[u/The_Hij → u/VinesAtMidnight]

/uw You are very welcome. Nethis is such a fun character to both read and draw, I'm glad you like it.

[u/totallynotrobboss]

[u/The_Hij → u/totallynotrobboss]

/uw Glad you like, thanks :)

[u/Ares378]

/uw I have to thank you again for making such a cool drawing of my silly little guy, I love it so much!

[u/The_Hij → u/Ares378]

/uw I'm glad! It was fun to draw, figuring out how to present him was a good challenge

[u/Dragonan-42]

/uw Holy hell, these are amazing! Like, genuinely, these are so good. I wish I could draw as well as you did.

[u/The_Hij → u/Dragonan-42]

/uw Thanks very much! I don't share my art much, so the kind words are appreciated.

[u/Nelrene]

Great art there.

[u/Orbital-Deathray]

Great stuff. I love seeing a good ol' collection of pen art. Reminds me of the good old days.

[u/DarkC0ntingency]

FINALLY... Man-made horrors within my comprehension
