Mistigram: this time last year, Cthulu was holed up in an agriturismo in rural Italy on a vacation, explaining to his family that while he had managed to duck responsibility for packaging the annual Mist Hallowe'en artpack for the first time in eleven years, that didn't relieve him of the duty to populate it with submissions... which is why when things got quiet after the magical Tuscan sunset, he could be found drawing colourful variations of the phrase #ShoebodyBop on his laptop. Sometimes you just have to love your family members unconditionally because no explanation will really suffice to understand what the heck they're up to.
The words look gnarly, but the words themselves aren't. WTF is up here? Cth was very taken by #DrueLanglois' 2022 demonic baptismal animation set to the song of the same name by the Minute Hour. He had roughed out a sketch from it depicting a cultist invokation which LDA and Zeus II later fleshed out taken in a very different direction. (Originally he had planned to depict a series of iconic moments from the music video, punctuated with permutations on its strange name, but Italy rudely interrupted this aspiration with a series of historical hilltop distractions.)
Maybe we'll see more Shoebody moments later this month, but this introductory portion was included in the MIST1025 artpack collection released a year ago.
