doodles of the lads again..
kinda planning on michael to regain clarity at some point and face off against gabriel, since gabriel treated him like a lapdog for a long time to fulfill his plans.
and that made me think... what if michael snaps and suddenly starts to believe that, to restore the collective of heaven, he needs to assimilate every angel, fall or not, into himself. which would make him take on aspects of the ones he consumed? so here's a concept...
it kinda keeps raising the issue i've been struggling with for a while... that i think that the archangels are too powerful, while i keep positioning lucifer as an opposing force as just some guy. and if i'd make michael even more powerful it makes it kinda hard to think of a way lucifer could win.
maybe with the power of friendship, and i just design all the deadly sins too, but that's so many characters...
anyway, much to think about.

Reading & Watching / Re: Lovecraft Short Stories &&...
Last post by ofinscriptions - Mar 22, 2026, 07:27 PMQuote from: krzchn「c」 on Mar 11, 2026, 11:46 AMi still remember reading the colour out of space as a teen and being blown away by it. it really nailed the mounting tension into insanity to me, i rly liked it. i've not read either the nameless city nor herbert west, but i want to now so we could talk about it. :>
yesss, exactly! there's a movie adaptation of the colour out of space with nick cage as the protagonist which is... entertaining to watch with friends, but of course completely fails to match the tone and intensity of the book. in my opinion, lovecraftian horror is impossible to depict visually in a way that would work universally - bc as you said, so much of it is based on the reader's own interpretation of 'what i saw... was the worst thing imaginable... a gruesome sight out of my worst nightmares...'
I really want to read the colour out of space too!! so we can talk about it :D
I HAVE seen the nic cage movie LOL with one of my friends -- you're definitely right on it being a good movie to watch w others lmaooo. It got only a little balls to the wall, which now having read a little more of actual lovecraft i can see how it would struggle to capture the og tone and intensity -- and that's w that llama abomination
It really is one of those horrors that's so dependant on your individual brain meat. like!
a long while back i saw someone describe lovecraftian horror as like... imagine an ant briefly was given the understanding of human technology for only a brief moment, then it trying to both describe and make sense of what it had been shown without having any of the fundamental knowledge needed to do so

Last post by niconico - Mar 20, 2026, 04:18 PMQuote from: gelato on Mar 18, 2026, 09:43 PMi have loved your archangel guy's designs for so many years at this point.you're being too kind to me! but i'm really happy people are enjoying my archangels. even though i don't draw them TOO often it's still very heartwarming when people are passionate about them...
Quote from: gelato on Mar 18, 2026, 09:43 PMalso your drawings are actually convincing me to watch jjk- i've been a bit sick of shonen lately (going a bit off topic but i was super disappointed by gachiakuta lol) but your pics are so fire. maybe hype moments and aura are peak afteralli think you should at least give it a try. i originally got into it just because i really enjoyed the animation from the clips i've seen. still want to give gachiakuta a try, but i also heard the manga is way better than the anime... the animation is enticing me though!
Quote from: gelato on Mar 18, 2026, 09:43 PMarugh i dont know how u think of such nice dynamic poses aurhghgdfgf.i'll be real... me neither. i just put the pen to the tablet and do whatever i feel like. definitely not as competent with anatomy as i COULD be, but i find i hide it pretty well with some exaggerated poses and just putting my points in aesthetics (aka i just tweak it until it looks good to me)...
also some doodles from today!
i want michael to have a sick flame sword and aura farm with it. need to draw him more.

(after posting this i checked your website and ordered one of your books actually omg.)
OMG IT WAS YOU.... argh i sent it today, i didn't realize it was youuuu i prepared it thinking it was a stranger... sorry....... i would have added more freebies! thank you so much for ordering though, i hope you enjoy flipping through the zine you picked!! i checked my inventory and i only have one of those left. :')
Quote from: gelato on Mar 18, 2026, 09:48 PMit's also really interesting to see the development of your personal style, i think in 2024 leading to 2025 you cultivated such a rich sense of style in your work with the textures and frames and moody colours.
it sure has been a journey. thank you for the compliments i feel like this rn
(spoiled baby)last year i tried to focus on improving composition and level of polish - mostly training myself to be more patient, i used to very rarely take more than 2 sittings to finish smth bc i got impatient to be done with it. being able to get fresh eyes on my own work more has helped a lot i think!
