Cropped preview of the cover for the comic anthology Pit of Eden. From a cut off Babylonian king statue, a mass of bodies, flesh, and flowers spew from its gaping mouth. The bodies are all golden and shiny and writhe in both terror and ecstasy. The statue in the background is underlit and crying this honey-like liquid. Behind it, the background is a a mosaic of broken pink tiles of archaic Babylonian-inspired designs.

👀 cover sneak peek 👀 I hope people are ready for the upcoming comic PIT OF EDEN from Malcolm Derikx and many artists! ⚱️🙌🍯
Cropped preview of the cover of the upcoming comic anthology Pit of Eden. Along the bottom is a sea of people, creatures, flowers and flesh in liquid gold. They bleed into eachother, some faces are in pain and some are in ecstasy as they are surrounded by golden viscera and transformed from one body to another. In the distant background is a large statue hand rising up from the sea of people. Behind that, the background is a pink mosaic with Babylonian-inspired designs, but it is cracked and broken revealing a dark hole. Cropped preview of the cover of the upcoming comic anthology Pit of Eden. A large cracked statue of a Babylonian male figure is crying gold while golden human forms in a mass crawl out from the top of its head. It’s broken and falling apart and the human forms and spewing out eagerly. Behind the statue form is a pink mosaic background of Babylonian-inspired designs, but the stone is broken and cracked, revealing a black hole behind it.

WIP for a cover 👀
Black ink drawing over a pink to red gradient background. All over are a sea of people smiling and crying as their forms bleed and grow into eachother. There is intestine-like viscera, eyeballs, and flowers growing between faces while arms and bodies push themselves up from The fleshy mass.

A loose black and white sketch of a man with light skin and dark hair leaning forward on a blanket. He rests his head on his forearm and stretches his other hand forward. In the foreground is a hand on the same surface, but the person who it belongs to is cut off. A loose black and white sketch of a skeleton bust with a wig and jacket. The skeleton looks down at his hand. It is supposed to be Debonesy from the podcast Rude Tales of Magic. A loose black and white sketch of a man falling in the distance, viewed from above. He is the character Pleck Decksetter from the podcast Mission to Zyxx. He is a short, fat man in a bathrobe and close-tailored uniform with shorts. He has a eyepatch on his right eye, short hair, and a screaming expression. There is no background, but he is surrounded by speed lines showing his speed.

A black and white lineart sketch of a women lounging on large pillows. She is wearing a bras and skirt, and is looking off to the side with a sly expression. Her hair is curly and she is propped up on her elbows. A loose black and white lineart sketch. A figure kneels on the ground with hands covering his face, one frightened eye peeking from behind his fingers. From this eye cries four red “tears” drop down. Behind him, and form hugs him, but their face is obscured by being pressed against the front figure’s back. A loose black and white sketch. A figure in pants and a billowy shirt arches back towards the sky, their face obscured by the angle.

I had a lot of fun on this ‼️
Two men are surrounded by a dense circle of other men, all dressed in suits or uniforms. At the centre, the two men are doppelgängers of each other, and one shakes a strangers hand with a smile while the other twinned man is grappling him from behind with anger. The crowd of men around the two center figures are expressionless. The entire image is red with black shadows and bright underlighting.

I can’t stop thinking about Murderbot, it’s such a fun show
Fanart for the television show Murderbot, based on Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries. The character Dr Mensah (a Black woman in a large, grey coat, depicted by Noma Dumezweni) stands above the character Dr Gurathin (a light skinned man in a grey jumpsuit, depicted by David Dastmalchian), covering his eyes. Dr Mensah has a solemn and grieved expression on her face, which Dr Gurathin, whose eyes are covered by Mensah’s hands, has a placated, passive expression. Behind them are soft clouds emanating up, with a spread of stars coming out at the top. Behind Dr Mensah’s head is a halo-like ring.
