Art – Douglysium

A digital drawing of Magiican_hero’s OC Yoko. They are a Pokemon Lucario gijinka (human design) in the form of a Black person with gray Lucario ears on top of their head, braids ending in gold ornaments, a gray hat, and a cape that covers their mouth, but the end of the cape that hangs down ends in tatters. All four of their limbs have prosthetics, with the arms being completely replaced and the legs being replaced from the thigh down. In their left hand is a Lucarionite that releases pink energy as they mega evolve. Their right arm reaches towards the camera with the design of their mega evolved form and a fiery effect from the mega evolution process sweeping across their body, mega evolving them as it moves. Their right side has begun changing to their mega form design while the left is still their base form. A purple hue highlights their body. The background is blue on the left side and purple, violet, pink, and red on the right side.

A drawing of a Black man resembling me. The edges of the paper were cut up withscissors to resemble cracked and shattered glass and the drawing depicts the reflection of the man reaching through the mirror and strangling his counterpart, cracking and breaking the glass in the process. The man in the real world is reaching towards some pills as he struggles against the strangulation of his reflection.

05 “Fracturing”

2 weeks ago

A drawing of a Black man that resembles me trying to pull themselves out of bed. Their torso is lifted up with a hand on their face while the rest of their body lays under a blanket. Their face is melting while their melting hand tries to hold it together. The elbow of the arm being used to hold the face is bulbous and weighty while the other arm is being used to lift the figure up. The blankets of the bed also resemble a crushing dirt and grass with bits of soil dropping onto the bed it covers. As the figure rises up and trails of their own body seem stuck to the bed like a viscous fluid. Behind the figure’s head is a dark shadowy form like a distorted halo of darkness and from it extends a warped line across the drawing that curves down before moving back upward, as if something is weighing the line itself down. The line has tears in it and next to the figure’s “bed” is a gravestone.

The bottom half has interlocking arms and elbows with faces that are kissing. There is a mouth near the bottom framed by a handshake and on either side of the lower portion are hands holding each other. The top part of the drawing also has interlocking arms but with more violent imagery. One of the strange faces on an elbow is strangling the other and one of the arms near the mouth is grabbing the wrist of the other ehile the other two hands are balled into fists.
