Mr Hyde - Blog Posts

Callout to hydj.

Hydj is an artist in the Glass Scientists fandom. They made Jekyll x Hyde art. They support Trump, calling him a hero. They also believe that it would be better if trans people were dead, despite enjoying and making fan art of a trans person's work. This behavior is not acceptable and people should stop interacting and supporting this person.

Jekyll: I love dogs who are obsessed with licking people. "This human is pleasing to me, I have to put my tongue on it".

Hyde: Dogs treat us like we treat cool rocks.

Jekyll: Your relationship to rocks is apparently very different than mine.

Hyde would hiss at enemies like a cat if he was given the chance.

I thought I would share my Mr. Hyde design. Hope you like it!

Just saying, Stevenson is 100% projecting his guilt on his very liberal views (for the time) and finding a way to cope with the religious trauma of how he was raised and disappointing his father.

He’s making the personification of Edward Hyde devilish to show that he feels he is a monster who disappointed his father. Even tho he doesn’t want to care about what his father feels.

Also just saying Hyde writes with his left hand which was seen as a sign of the devil during this time

I’ve been reading a lot of 19th century literature ever since Nosferatu(2024) came out and I’ve gotten to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

But as I’m reading this, I don’t think Edward Hyde existed at all

From how Dr. Jekyll writes this account he seems to be fully in control and observant as opposed to a passenger in his own body

The only different is this drug he is taking is freeing him from religious inhibition. (the Calvinistic belief that you must deprive yourself of pleasure because it’s sinful.) but because the drug makes him look younger, he’s using it as an excuse to personify the “sinful” urges he has and rid his conscious of blame

Tumblr is now going to be my outlet for talking about books

(Sketch of Edward Hyde as I try to figure out how to draw his body hair)

I like how the pose turned out on this one, I think most of his face being hidden and his character being shown more in body language works well for Hyde

I feel like I don't draw Edward Hyde looking Spooky often enough.

This was actually a test sketch for those stylized shadows, but I like it so you all get to see it too!

Mr Edward Hyde in modern clothing. Apparently my idea of modern is 1992.

So, The Glass Scientists by Sage Cotugno is one of my absolute favourite Jekyll and Hyde stories and I would highly recommend it.

It has the same tone of lighthearted silliness mixed with genuine tragedy which I loved about the original novella

I gives Jekyll and Hyde both ample screentime so you get to see both of their perspectives, and get to know them both as people

It doesn't play the "Jekyll's pure good, Hyde's pure bad" card, which I appreciate

The character designs are great and Hyde's facial expressions are priceless!

It keeps in the queer narrative, which is a major part for many people reading the novella but I haven't seen other adaptations do it very well

It has a werewolf, and he's a very nice and sweet young man

And it's Webcomic, so it's free to read on the internet!

Edward no! Put that conical flask down right now or so help me!

Edward Hyde, Victorian gremlin man, I love you so. ♥ This ended up looking a bit like concept art for an animated movie art style wise, and that just makes me sad there isn't a cutesy animated classic disney musical type Jekyll and Hyde movie because that would be amazing.

Little sketch of Edward Hyde looking sassy.

Sketching my own design for Edward Hyde again! Tried this time to draw his "I'm totally innocent" face XD

A Smol Edward Hyde.

Mr. Edward Hyde from the gothic novella "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson.

I have no idea why This is how I imagined him looking XD

*pats Edward's curly hair*
