Saw Necromancatrix’s Cabal doodle a couple days ago and this started floating around in my head.
Poor lil’ raptor, she has no idea who she’s dealing with…
Aww poor thing indeed! I love his face in the last panel.
We have reached 100 souls-er, I mean followers. Right?
Right, followers.
Thank you all for enjoying the blog, and I hope you continue to do so. And, because I can’t leave you without asking a question:
What’s your favourite thing about carnivals?
[…] All he knew was that the course of his life had long been nothing more than a list of calculated risks, and that, finally, his luck had run out. All the work, all the hardships, all the sacrifices - both personal and of livestock - had been for naught; his work would never see fruition. He would never see her again. But that was not his fault, and he regretted nothing.

“…You though… I am talking to you because I am the Messenger of the Gods, and that makes me the great communicator. I am the only one who has any interest in humanity at all. The others occasionally turn up and blunder around for a while, but if they can even perceive humans, they usually regard them as a bit creepy and exterminate them.”
Cabal tried to imagine dread Cthulhu rising from the corpse city of R’lyeh, seeing humans, and squealing like a Hausfrau who discovers mice in the pantry, before pounding them to death with a broom. Then again, perhaps Cthulhu DID squeal, but in a form and context unimaginable to the human mind, or imperceptible to human senses. It hardly mattered if it were true; Cthulhu could still eradicate all life on Earth whether he was squealing like an enormous transdimensional schoolgirl or not.

Horst Cabal from my current read, Johannes Cabal: The Necromancer.
I’ll probably finish it off by the end of the day, but Horst is certainly my favorite character. If you haven’t read the book, I do recommend it (with a reservation or two maybe) Horst is a vampire and the elder brother of the main protagonist, Johannes.
It is quite safe to say I spend way too much time in my local Starbucks, but the baristas are really nice and interesting, and they give me free shit now and then, so it’s definitely worth the 3-4 hours I spent there today pfft.
Just a quick thing I doodled in the airport, decided to clean it up a little and scan it.
Possible casting for Johannes Cabal: Tom Hiddleston
My mp3 player was on shuffle, I was in a Cabal mood and Porcelain Heart by City of the Fallen came on and I had this thought that it just fit with Johannes.
132- Johannes Cabal number 2. Somedays you find yourself in hell, others you find yourself hanging helplessly from a tree. It’s a living.
Eeyup! More Ghouls. I tried working with a rottweiler skull to give it a more humanoid appearance but…it’s just not as fun. XD
Also, I think ghouls would have the very dog-like trait of rolling in garbage. :\
Shoo cute! And smelly! :P
Fssccchh how did I miss someone else drawing ghouls until now. How. <3

Or Nyarlothotep, if you please.
I’d forgotten that Thickets had a song about the Black Pharaoh in Egyptian. I mean I can’t vouch for the accuracy of ‘middle Egyptian’ lyrics, but it’s cool either way and I’m putting it on the tag because Fear Institute.Oh and guys, remember who Loki really is.
Don’t let me know we’re invisible. (AU; prompt from Anna; 3,900 words)
You promised me the ending would be clear.
You’d let me know when the time was now.
Don’t let me know when you’re opening the door.
Stab me in the dark, let me disappear.
Soon there’ll be nothing left of me,
Nothing left to release.
Every time I try to draw Cabal, he always looks like he’s drawing back from who/whatever he’s looking at in revulsion.
…well maybe that works.
