sooo I got inspired by dyemooch and Derrick's artwork of Babymetal. And I decided to try out Copia and Terzo in Derrick J Wyatt's style! Sorta paying a little homage to him, since his work is a huge inspo to me. Still can't get over how he's come across my work and has even allowed me to color his sketches ;__; 🖤
For those who don't know, Derrick J Wyatt was art director/involved for shows like Ben 10 Omniverse, Transformers Animated, Teen Titans, and Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated to name a few.
I may not be able to take legal measures against the woman who abandoned her disabled senior dog to die on the side of the road, but unfortunately for her, I don't only rely on legal measures. And even more unfortunately for her, I know her name.
I decided to go all out in the end and used an Effigy Candle, a Binding Cord spun from black wool, an "Itching Powder" (made from Calamus, Poison Oak, and the bones of a Roadkill Snake), an "Imprisonment Ring" made from old Lead, eight Steel Pins, and one iron Cursing Nail quenched in "Malefice Oil" (made from Castor, Cubebs, Nettle, Sloe Thorns, and Poison Hemlock).
It's been a good while since I've undertaken truly baneful magic, but I've sadly been given reason to change that. So, I suppose, here is to my first hex of 2024. May it even the scales.
[I.D. A digital drawing of Helsknight from the waist up and Evil Xisuma from the shoulders up. Ex is wearing their helmet and Hels is grabbing one of the horns on the helmet, tilting their head back so that he can kiss the top of their helmet. Hels' helmet visor covers the upper half of his face but you can see she's smiling slightly and her other hand is under Ex's chin. There is a vivid pink overlay on the whole drawing and the background and flame of Hels' helmet are similarly pink with lighter hearts and outlines around them. END I.D.]
Version w/o color filter and closeups under the cut
Image 1: [I.D. A digital drawing of Helsknight from the waist up and Evil Xisuma from the shoulders up. Ex is wearing their helmet and Hels is grabbing one of the horns on the helmet, tilting their head back so that he can kiss the top of their helmet. Hels' helmet visor covers the upper half of his face but you can see she's smiling slightly and her other hand is under Ex's chin. There is no overlay on this image and they are both rendered in their normal colors. END I.D.]
Image 2: [I.D. The same as image 1 but the pink filter is back and it is zoomed in and cropped so that Ex's shoulders and most of Hels' body is no longer in frame. END I.D.]
