Markus - Tumblr Posts
„Forgetting who you are, to become what someone needs you to be, maybe that's what it means to be alive”
Hey, so, I just edited these posters of the 3 main characters in Detroit: Become Human. I hope you like them :)
Please don't repost on other platforms without credit!
A quick (not-so) little post to sort of show off, explain lore, and slightly contrast some designs for the Devil and Maiden story.
So we got the previously introduced minor antagonist, Jasper Rodriguez with the purple/brown hair - and the male protagonist, Markus Marken, with the wavy hair. These two were like brothers before they got split up to go into the human world ("The Corporeal Plane") and the experience served to change them and their friendship forevermore.
More story info under the cut!
These two are both Incubi, male-presenting demons who feed off strong emotions and are released into the Corporeal Plane to gather souls and sow the sin of lust, but (theoretically) are unable to feel love and compassion for themselves.
All Incubi have the ability to masquerade as human, though how good at it they are depends on their control of their own emotions. Pictured here, rough designs of their "real" selves (prior to me changing the designs of their horns):
As I've noted here, Jasper is actually taller and leaner than Markus. Their armour should be a deeper red but I don't quite have the pencil and that paper couldn't take that much punishment.
Masquerading as a human makes them slightly shorter, dulls down their eye and hair colour, plus hides their fangs, horns and other markings. Jasper prefers to wear bright greens and golds when in human form and has much better control over his emotions, so his eyes appear a more natural honey brown colour. Markus on the other hand is just passable; deep brown - borderline red - eyes, and warm reds and black clothes to match.
Plus a better comparison:
The thing is, when glamoured in human form, the younger Incubi still have some "tells" that aren't too noticeable unless you look for them. Feeling more strongly than they're supposed to can result in an Incubus slipping up and losing control of their glamour, resulting in teeth returning to fangs, glimpses of the tail and horns (and wings in worst cases). But the biggest tell is still their eyes. Not just because of the colour changes, but that dark, eyeliner-esque marking around the eyes of almost all glamoured Incubi is a trace of their true form impossible to get rid of, and staring into them for too long is likely to put you under a spell, make you pliable to suggestion, and have you thinking of things involving a bedroom (unless the Incubus is trying purposefully to cancel out the effect). Alcohol both helps and hinders the glamour; it makes people more susceptible to magic and suggestion thus luring you into the idea that nothing is wrong, but can also be enough of a relaxant that the brain is no longer consciously working to process the glamour and it can be seen through, instead.
Here is where I feel like Jasper and Markus are similar but contrast; whilst they've both got the "same" eyes as previously mentioned in that comic I put up (because everyone thinks they use a boatload of eyeliner), Jasper's eyes are not often his focal point due to their colour. He's a smooth talker, so the focus when I draw him is normally on his mouth and nailing that. In contrast, when I draw Markus, though I feel like if I don't get his smile right when I draw him the drawing isn't 100% correct, the focal point is always his eyes, because he's a lot more expressive and emotional than he thinks he is capable of.
And finally, what happens when Jasper realises the extent of how Markus has changed in the human world:
He doesn't take it well.
(wow, a LOT of faces in this post!)
Couldn’t wait - had to at least do a 3am sketch
Figured I’d finally give Markus a go instead of just drawing the very side of his face
It’s 3am again - I’ll edit tomorrow as needed
I never finished this - in fact I 100% gave up on it because it just felt so fucking wrong and bad. What I ended up doing was this here, which I was MUCH happier with.
But, since this is now a dump blog where I don’t care what I post - here is the original draw up.
Finished my Markus and Simon artwork! Look at my jumping bois
About the art:
So today I finshed this which was on my list on "things to do before the fandom dies" <----(which would never happen) And I finshed I was laughing cuz of te things I did like Connor's face (an award winning face of disappointment :D) And Kara's face of confusion and Markus...being...Markus <--(lol wut) And I wanna say this takes place in Kara's House(duh) when (if does happen) Connor and Markus will visit her cuz They are the best of friends! :D
The main trio!!
I have been leaving this on hold for so long :/
And it's finally finshed!! It's kinda weird looking,Like Markus's eyes are too big and Connor's eyes and face look weird (I'm sorry Connor! ;;A;;) and Kara looks more male like for some reason :/
Random DBH animation! :D
It's really crappy!
