u/Own-End-1189

Hey everyone!!! I know this might be kind of out of topic, knowing that this is a Protocol fanart and this is the archives subreddit, but once I saw a post where someone told their friend to draw Martin and John before looking at any fanart. And I tought that I might do the same with the Protocol cast.

Given that I just started the spiritual successor to the original series and I finished It, I wanted to do something similar, all of these are of my own mind, I just saw onenfanart once and honestly don't remember It, so consider this fanart blind as Melonie or Maxwell Reyner.

I originally only wanted to do Sam and Alice as the fanart that inspired me only depicted John and Martin, knowing that the protagonista always have those tumblr esque designs and no one can escape them, but I got carried away and did everyone and everything, including the talkers and Freddy for some reason, this is all my artstyle and I didin't attempt anything realistic, Sorry for that, (And also no legs) I hope you enjoy It!

(WARNING: AFTER THIS PARAGRAPH I'M GIVING MY HONEST AND CORNY OPINION AND GENERAL IMPRESSION ABOUT THE FIRST 6 EPISODES OF THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL) ignore if not interested

I understand why some people don't like the other series or got dissapointed, I understand they wanted a Magnus Archives 2 Electric Boogaloo, but appart from the blood violin episode (Wich is a banger for the first episode with Jonah's voice btw), but the most important part of the series is that the statements are much more diferent from eachother.

I love the concept of the diferent pieces of internet media being the statements, I think the spider website in web development was an early show of this. That a statement can be a blog post, an email, a video call, a document scan, etc is such a creative concept and I love It.

The callouts to the original series make It worth or annot direct sequel that was already alluded to un the last episodes, and making John's, Martin's and Jonah's voices into text to speech thingies is so creative and fun. I love how the cast remembers me of the og's.

Alice gives me a lot of Tim and Sasha Vives, she's such a silly goose (If she becomes and avatar It Will be one of the sprial or stranger I'm sure)

Sam gives me huge Martin vibes I love him, but his curiosity will probably into being paranoic and I'm sure he will have some eye shenanigans in the future.

Gwen is loveley, from a Stern look (Or whatever the Elias statement episode was call) I can clearly tell that she's daughter of the Bouchard family, she's such a sweethart inside her serious facade I can already tell, she has huge seasons 1 John vibes, I loved her little "You can at least pretend you weren't talking about me" I was already Shopping her with Sam or Alice before Celia appeares, but Gwen probably dies early like Tim to be honest.

I really liked how Celia got introduced, just a nice callbakc to the Melanie Georgie cult, given that that was not her real name or got gaslighted into beliving It wasn't by t'he sprial I expect her to be into some interdimensional shenanigans given that the fears probably came late into this universe from the Archives one.

I can already feel how she's going to smooch with Sam, I ship them for life, It she doesen't dies Sasha style of course. :(

Collin is just going goblin mode, I understand his frustration deeply, I love how all the It guys are Germán (That guy Klaus Who got snatched, and I drew him like american dad Klaus) Also what the hell is wrong with IT???

Teddy got saved, bro left before everyone died or became an avatar, ( They are still so innocent now) he will come back I'm sure.

Lena just gives me full on Elias vibes, but not too much, she's still puting up the normal person act or she still is, probably an eye or web avatar tbh, hope to ser morè of her and what she did with Klaus.

The statements are great so far, I really enjoyed voyeur, the Jane prentiss and Jared hophworth lovechild one and specially the violin and needles one si I drew them, I hope needles Guy becomes a recurrent character like Michael, he reminds me of Johny the homicidal maníac with all his sillynes and his bravado.

love It so far! I hope you liked my sketches and my full on tant if you even got this far, no spoilers please! and thanks for watching!

Hey, it's me, the guy who made the post about the massive Pinecone pig statue at the amos Rex art gallery in Helsinki.

Well, seeing how you all responded and told me respectfully the origin of the pinecone pig, and how it's a traditional finnish childrens arts and crafts. I decided to make my own, pureowt out of ingredients collected in the finnish forest.

He brought me some spare change!!! For his work I gifted him a cinamon roll with berries I found in the smae forest as It, hope you enjoy the silly pictures!!!

It's full of Moss and likens, I found It on the Forest, rotting in the ground, it's energy called me in a way, like I was meant to find It, is It cool?

I just was It today in the art showing/museum of Amos Rex, Helsinki, Finland, and I saw something familiar... A gigant reallife Pinecone pig! It says It was made on 2024 so maybe It was inspired by Funger, or prehaps it's a tradicional finnish thing, I don't know. Let me know your guesses about It. Anyways I'm so excited I found something related to my favourite finnish game in my trip to Helsinki!

This might be a little bit farfetched and half baked but I really wanted to share my point of view with the game's community, and maybe hear what you guys think about the whole act 3 prime soul stuff.

About the possible prime souls: I have seen a lot of theories and fanart about what people think they may be, I think we should use the prevuous ones; Minos and Sisyphus as exemples on what the prime souls notmally are.

First of all, no, only humans can become prime souls for all I know, so on more silly botes neither V2 (Reconstruct what? There's nothing!) and any other machine can become prime souls as they don't have one perse.

Angels probably have souls, but seeing how Minos and Sisyphus were inprisoned in the flesh thingies by Gabriel only a rebelious angel like Satan or Lucifer himself, but I honestly doubt they would be the prime soul, more like the Arena of the hell itself bossfight or the final most toughest enemy It sends to V1 before the final battle against Gabriel in treachery.

Other ones I have seen proposed are the architraitors, Judas Ischariot, Caspius and Brutus, in the deepest of treachery being chewed by the half buried devil. Judas and oubiously Jesús are out of the question, I don't think Hakita would use them as a prime soul for their biblical importance.

Caspius and Brutus in the other hand are more grecoroman and got better with treachery than others but them being two makes It more difficult, so I think we should narrow the options.

Like Minos and Sisyphus, the next prime soul should be an Ancient greek King with some kind of significace for the level they ruled and the ones in the act and the Divine comedy in general, both also had an enemy or bossfight for them, the corpse of King Minos and The Sisyphean inserructionist.

Here comes my hot take, I think that enemy already appeared in Violence and it's the earthmover, as an allergory for the trojan horse. I belive the act 3 prime soul is Odysseus, or at least has a bigger chance.

Odysseus was an Ancient greek King, he sinned both in violence by killing and innocent child and many more the war, and fraud because of the trojan horse scheme, in Dante's infierno, in wich Ultrakill is oubiously inspired, he died trying to reach purgatory on his Voyages and ended up in the malobolgias, in fraud.

Deep inside the pit of evil Advisors because of all the horrible acts his scheming caused, specially in Troy, the earthmover is the thematic evolution of the trojan horse, the representacion of unfair and cruel war, with fpurnlegs and an army inside foued by blood.

Thus Odysseus Will appear in a flesh something and fight V1 in the treachery secret level, he probably have was the leader in the fraud circle and was inprisoned by Gabriel like the others.

everything I asi might be wrong because I havent finished fraud neither played it's secret level and I'm not up to date with the lore so... yeah

I hope you enjoyed my crack theory yapping if you read all of this, feel free to share your opinion, whatever It may be, propose something else or tell me my theory is wrong and Aggamenon is actually the prime soul or whatever.

(Ignore the sticker)

I really loved the latin adjecent names the fears were given like terminus for the end and Es mentiras for the spriral for example, so I gave them all a similar name.

I fused some of the fears for my worldbuilding project, The lonley and The Vast, the desolation and The extinction, the flesh and The slaughter, the end and The corrupcions and The dark and The stranger.

So there are 10 fears in total, more neat than 14 or 15 in my opinion

Venatio (The Hunt)

Terminus (The end and the corruption)

Viscera (The slaughter and The flesh)

Vertigo ( the Vast and The loneley)

Nicto ( the Dark and The Stranger)

Incendere ( The desolation and The extinction)

panopticon (The eye)

Claustrofobia ( The buried)

Es mentiras (The sprial)

Aracne (The web)

Anyways I hope you liked my drawing, I first tought about painting the notebook itself with Paint like how that one guy did with poska markers, but I finally decided to just deaw with a white color pencil on a black cover for the notebook.
