So. Slender Man. My current obsession and newest favourite monster :heart: At first I wasn't sure where to put this; after all, Slendy kind of belongs to the entire internet now. But Masky's unique to Marble Hornets, so into fanart it goes. Also, this isn't the first pic I've done of Slendy; it's just the only one that's finished/post-worthy.

Anyway. So. I was listening to Voltaire's song "Brains!" this morning, and got this faintly incredible image of Slender Man in a zoot suit. It was kind of sexy. However, I decided the world was not ready for such an image although I might draw it later hurrhurr, and did something rather more serious. I know Masky's not entirely appropriate for this or the song, but really, we don't know what his motives are anyway. He's just sort of... being a stand-in for Slenderproxies everywhere. I know a lot of the ARGs don't usually have Slendy directly interacting with his victims very much beyond the inevitable killing, but I find him cooler scarier if he's like one of those Evilly Affable fellows who charms you, wines and dines you, and then rips your face off or something. I like intelligent, charming, fucking batshit villains a la Hannibal Lecter, and that sort of... bleeds into my interpretation of Slendy. Ahem. Whoops, got wordy there. Sorry.

I'm mostly really pleased with this, although Masky bothers me somehow. Yes, I did take a few liberties here and there; as for Slendy's tie being red, I think, while reading the famous SA thread, someone mentioned him having a red tie. (Maybe it was blue.) It adds interest anyway, though, so I'm not changing it even if everyone and their mother complains.

The font comes from dafont.com and is called, iirc, "Wet Dreams" *snerk*, and the lyrics are copyright the ever-awesome Voltaire.
