Captain Mackerel's Art 'n Stuff

Hello. This is an intro post.

This is @cptmackerel's art blog.

I'm pretty new to digital art, but here you'll find fanart, OC art, and plenty of horror!

A collection of portraits depicting the voices from Slay the Princess, taking inspiration from the style of the video game Disco Elysium! The Voice of the Hero, a knight, an iconic silhouette against a luminant halo. A color palette of black, blue, and teal.

The Voice of the Hunted, a beast trying to protect its heart from danger, represented here as a crosshair.

The Voice of the Smitten, the knife wound letting loose lovely streams of swirling bodily juices into the air.

The Voice of the Cold, dark, and angular. Something completely unafraid to kill.

The Voice of the Skeptic, attempting to fly, tearing himself away from chains and what looks like his own body.

The Voice of the Paranoid, Frantic and multi-eyed, clutching at a wound.

The Voice of the Contrarian, flying in stark contrast to the others, glowing instead of secluded, a mischievous fairy or will o' the wisp, instead of a grotesque figure.

The Voice of the Broken, shattered and leaking. A humanoid figure is no longer recognizable.

The Voice of the Stubborn, Fiery eyes, and big meaty claws. The brushwork is chaotic.

The Voice of the Cheated, smoke leaking from puncture wounds still embedded within him. He's holding a cigar, too; probably where all the smoke is coming from.

The Voice of the Opportunist, carrying multiple masks on his person, and wielding a poorly concealed knife.

And finally (for now) The Long Quiet itself, the night sky, swirling sigils blurred in the dark.

BONUS:

'Hometown's Finest'

(Especially on Showcard Gothic. He's my favorite of the bunch =])

ah right, i lost motivation to write about them but I can note them down here! showcard is actually a woman, really wanted a girlfailure

recap for the first two:

Susie's TV is a manifestation of her self hatred of her past and her insecurities. He's a violent parasite that takes the shell of an important object, here being a tv. He believed that it was Susie's fate to finally kill him and is enraged that she won't.

Madame are two Darkners, Noelle's personal TV and her cactus. They are enemies to lovers lesbians who bonded over their care of Noelle and realized their differences are just superficial. She and Noelle's computer just want to give Noelle an escape with a fun fantasy adventure but all three are POWERFUL darkners.

Raydlee is a TV for strictly gaming bought by Berdly's parent(s) to buy his love instead of giving love to him like any normal parent. In turn, Ray manifested as a "cool older brother" figure, running his dark world to try to make up for the connection Berdly lacked. His Plugboys and various electronic Darkners are overworked in the city that never sleeps and sure, it's exhausting but Berdly's happiness is important to him.

Cathy was an old CRT Berdly fixed after a ton of trial and error to play retro games. While not played as much, Cathy is just happy to be here with her console dog. Old lady, sarcastic and crabby. She and Raydlee don't take each other seriously, thinking one or the other know better.

Showcard Gothic is the skelebro's flatscreen. Mimicking Sans and the media he watches, she's desperate to be a comedian but... she's really bad at it. Like REALLY bad, she's too nervous to be a showman and her jokes are really lame but she's really trying her best give her a minute or she'll start crying. Her mic hands can turn into various weapons, including switchblades and knives. Her name was meant to be a font that fit her themes but it's far too cool for her.
