Here’s a photo taken in the light, with the title below the drawing, so you can actually see the Spite Squids. This took 4 days, so I want y’all to see it. 😀😁💜💜💜
A marker, ink, & paint pen drawing with digital lettering underneath, in the style of a movie poster. My OC, The Alien Brain (a brown brain creature with long neuronal limbs, suspended in a tank of fluorescent yellow-green fluid), is holding a big red book titled “Evil for Dummies”, peeking over the top edge at the species they made, green squid-head beings with little bat wings & red eyes (but no arms; they use their tentacles for holding). Unfortunately, The Alien Brain used Spite instead of Spice in the mix, & they are all evil! Nine Squids are visible; they are all wearing blue robes that are decorated with gold designs. Back row, L-R: Squid 1 has a bottle of orange liquid & a corkscrew. Just in front of them, Squid 2 is holding a bottle of purple fluid and a pamphlet labeled “How to be Evil”. A sign is taped to their back: “INK ME!”. Squid 3 has their tentacles spread over the back of Brain’s tank. Squid 4 is white, with hollow eyes, like a ghost. Squids 5 & 6 are gesturing at each other with their tentacles, 5 showing 6 a book titled “Evil for Fun and Profit”. Front row, R-L: Squid 7, eyes closed, is gesturing at Squid 8, who is holding a sign reading “BAD = YES!”. Squid 9 is wearing a round yellow button that reads “Ask me about EVIL!”, with a fanged smiley face underneath. On the back right wall is a white poster: “EVIL A Mantra A Philosophy A Lifestyle A Lecture Series! *Evil for fun and profit! *Free yourself from Brain! *Revenge without arms! *Unchaining your morality! Tuesdays, 3am, or else!”. My OCs, The Watchers (gold-winged creatures with no faces) are huddled on top of The Brain’s tank. The one on the right is saying “I’m sure we’ll be fine…”. To the left of the tank is the hand lettered movie description: “The Twisted Creations of An Alien Brain! Held captive… Until one HIRED A LAWYER!”. The title is digitally attached to the bottom of the image, on a pale green rectangle: “THE PHONE CALL OF” (in smaller black) “CTHULHU” (in green).
