turtlemurmurs:

a shaded colored pencil drawing of Elias Bouchard from The Magnus Archives. he is shown holding his hands against his face, leaving only one eye visible. it is all white and has no pupils, and stares toward the viewer. Elias is depicted as a pale white man with short neatly combed fair hair. he is wearing a grey v-neck sweater over a black buttonup shirt, and he has a wristwatch on his left arm. the background is a grey rectangle tilted slightly to the left, reminiscent of a crooked picture frame. the space behind him is filled with various diagonal parallel lines and scratches. Elias' elbows and his shoulder hang out of the frame, and the rest of his body below his chest is unseen inside the frame. the colors of the drawing are mostly greyscale, with only a muted brown for the leather of his wristwatch, and subtle blonde in his hair.ALT

What is it that he feels deep down in his skull? This presence, old and rotten in his mind?
