#void 1 au

Would you like to see void 1 argos with hair made of snakes? Or hair made of feathers?…….asking for no particular reason

Also, hair made of feathers covered in hundreds of eyes is literal hell on earth. No. Never again.

But hey, at least he has cool spider legs :D

Featuring Mark, Void 1 Argos, Void 1 Mr. Plant, and my ocs: Hypatia and Euclid! (Surprise, the rubix cube was a helmet all along 🥹)

Oh my god this took like three consecutive days to do but I’m finally done and happy enough with the result to post it

But let’s all pretend we don’t notice Mr. Plant’s god-awful anatomy, okay? Okay.

“Argos, man confined to the perpetual mischief of his wretched parasites. Organ needles pinch the ground as the gold-gild spider legs rouse from the slight touch of disturbance. Numerous flailing, limpid snakes, stained charcoal black, hiss and propel forward. Eyes erect from every tender slice of skin, twitching as their neighbors fill them with their tears. Argos, man confined to his external teratomas. Oh, sweet victim of the void, what has become of you? Once lively soul, now naught but a wandering corpse.”

This is my redesign of my original VOID 1 Argos design! While I had originally drawn him with hair made of feathers to give a sort of angelic, seraphim-esque vibe, I realized that I (and those of you in the comments of this post) would have preferred snake-like hair. Which actually works out considering Argos’ name derives from Greek mythology.

I tried to remain faithful to the source material and make this design accurate to the other beings in VOID 1, but I also knew I wanted to give him more than a few extra limbs. So, in my AU of VOID 1, the mutilation and effects of the atmosphere are broader and vary between people, creating their own personalized torment. (This was very much so inspired by TADC and Madoka Magica, lmao.)

As for Argos specifically, his design is meant to be cruelly ironic. One of his most prevalent and defining character traits is his liveliness, and independence. But in VOID 1, he becomes a completely co-dependent, almost lifeless individual. Having to rely on untrustworthy beings for literally everything. And with each passing day that he spends in the void, he loses more and more of his humanity and consciousness.

Did I go overboard? Absolutely.

Obsessed with void 1 so here’s more fanart of it. :)
