This is a drawing of Jonathan Sims from the Magnus Archives. Jon is a thin person with medium brown skin and short, wavy black hair with streaks of grey. They are wearing an army green button up jacket on top of a navy t-shirt, and holding the strap of a black backpack. They have a despondent expression, and look very tired. They are covered in rounded scars all over their visible skin that have opened into green eyes. The background is textured like old paper, and there is a large glowing green eye in the upper right corner with light beams coming from the lower eyelashes.

This is a drawing of Jonathan Sims from the Magnus Archives. Jon is a thin Pakistani person with long, wavy black hair with gray streaks and dark brown eyes. He has medium brown skin covered in pockmark scars, stubble, and a long scar across their neck and a burn scar on their right hand. The drawing shows him 4 times in different outfits. From left to right, the first shows them in a tight, dark purple velvet dress, black heels, a lavender teardrop earring and gold eyeshadow with winged eyeliner. Their ace ring and wedding ring are on display, and they have a sultry expression. Their hair has extra pronounced waves, and ends at their shoulder. The next drawing shows him in a dark emerald green velvet, off shoulder top and black floor length pants. They are wearing a black choker that covers their scar, a gold hoop earring, and winged eyeliner. They are winking happily, and their hair is almost curly, going past his shoulder. The third image shows Jon in a white button up with huge, billowy sleeves and a mustard yellow sleeveless sweater on top with pens in the pocket. He is wearing a long maroon skirt with a belt, and Mary Jane shoes with white socks. In their hand is their Web lighter. He is wearing his glasses, and has a nervous smile. His hair is lightly waved, with the front pulled behind and ends at their shoulders. The fourth and last drawing shows them in a black button up vest over a white collared shirt with a forest green ascot and a dark emerald skirt with a brown belt. They are wearing a tan trench coat, tall, dark brown lace up boots and tan socks. The bottom of his hair is curled, and ends at his chest. He is carrying a pale green book, and is wearing glasses and eyeliner with a happy, smiling expression. The background is a textured pale blue over a very faint pale pink. The four images below are close ups of each of the individual outfits to show more detail.

This is a drawing of two images of Martin Blackwood from the Magnus Archives. Martin is a fat Afro-Brazilian man with dark brown skin, freckles, and 4c textured hair. His hair is bleached white and shoulder length, and he has a mustache and chin stubble. He has dark brown eyes and body hair on his chest, stomach, arms, and legs, as well as stretch marks on his stomach and legs. He is also wearing round earrings and rectangular glasses. In the first drawing he has his right hand on his hip with a wedding and ace ring, and his belly is out as he smiles at someone off screen. He is wearing a pale blue teacup patterned underwear set. In the second image, he is stretching one arm behind his back and one of his legs is stretched out. His head is tilted back and he is winking at someone off-screen. He is wearing a mauve teacup patterned underwear set. The background is yellow right behind Martin that fades out to pinks and purples in a splatter like texture.

This is an illustration of Annabelle Cane from the Magnus Archives, based on a reference photo of Janelle Monae in the same outfit and pose. Annabelle is a thin Black woman with dark brown skin and deep brown eyes. She has a bleach blonde pompadour with a side shave, with a hole in the side of her head revealing a spiderweb. She is wearing a white pleated button up, with a dark purple velvet ribbon and matching skirt. All of her fingers have strings attached, going off into the background. She is smirking, and has small fangs and spiderweb lower eyelashes. She has a spider earring, and the shadow behind her reveals three spider legs on a purple background.

This is an image of Oliver Banks from the Magnus Archives. Oliver is a Black man with medium-dark brown skin and black natural hair styled in locs with an undercut. He has dark brown eyes with black tendrils coming from the edges, a slit in his left eyebrow, and a small beard. He is wearing a dark grey turtleneck and a high collar black jacket, and is holding his hand out to the viewer. He is wearing skull earrings and a septum ring, and has a forlorn expression on his face. In the first image, there are black tendrils with glowing red lines inside coming from behind him in all directions. In the second image, the tendrils are snaking over his body as well, covering his body, face and hands.
