There’s something about your drawing of Antherax being a human that gives off mysterious vibes. The concealment of the face with just glowing red eyes, and having some regular clothes makes him someone that could just be glanced past, or seen a lot. Anyways, that’s my favorite one from all of them
You dislike the stuff that gets uploaded by my fingers clicking upload? Are you just a h8er boi? I say see you l8er, boi. Don't watch the stuff that gets uploaded by my fingers clicking upload anymore. Your dislikes are damaging my good good GOOD reputation. I am a superstar, dear rla

Edit: I MEAN LIKE XD
@@floofy_kitsu Maybe like-?
Depressing fact: Some of these poisons (including arsenic in past video, and ones not in the video, like cinnabar) were used as paint and highly accessible as paint too, all over the place in history.
Green paint in the 1800s or earlier? Probably arsenic
Lead was often used in yellow paint and apparently harmed a lot of kids as it was used to paint yellow blocks back in the day.
@@hedera1332 lead poisoning, probably did what kids do, put things in their mouth, that shouldn’t be in their mouths.
If i touch anither colour i will cry AAAAAAAAA@AAaAAAA
@@Sp3ctralI dude the 5 year olds that bite the end if their pen just left the chat (pencil)
@@hedera1332 It's funny how long it took us to realize lead was poisonous, the Roman's would even put it in their wine to make it sweeter.
I really love how you do a lot of reseach on the poison instead of just mindlessly drawing, it's entertaining and educating!
Honestly, would watch just for the cool info about poisons :D
@@SilverStarStorm. Sounds like what murders say 😬
@@adjustedlenses3507 lmao, I see that.
I just find medicine and forensic science super cool and interesting to learn about as a side interest :p
Poisons perfectly fit into that.
exactly
@@SilverStarStorm. when the imposter is sus
I’m almost surprised that the “apple seeds have cyanide in them” trivia wasn’t included, but so much was packed into Cy already that it probably would have been excessive!
Fun fact, the way cyanide actually kills you is suffocation while your breathing. It prevents all/most of the oxygen in your blood from actually going to your cells (hence the quick death, basically insta brain death). So while you can breath, you can't consume the air!
also almonds have faint traces of cyanide and used to be used to put people to sleep in hospitals
its just way, way too little to cause much. its more associated with sleeping beauty than anything lol
Charlie
I loved almonds until this.
@@glasshorse6893 ive heard you have to eat hundreds of them to actually die, lol, it seems like a pretty common trivia and i was more interested in the other stuff she talked about
Mercury is a toxic non metal (I think it's non metal) that was used in the Victorian era in the hat industry. Because of exposure to mercury, hatters suffered from mercury poisonings and a side effect of this was 'going mad' and so the creation of 'mad as a hatter' and the mad hatter were born.
Edit: holy crap you guys are smart
It’s a metal. The only metal on the periodic table that’s liquid at room temperature
Don’t forget it being used in thermometers! Being the only metal that is liquid at room temperature is pretty useful for chemistry and whatnot.
Don’t worry, it’s illegal now. Suuuuuuuuuuuper illegal. We use a different compound now.
Part of what makes mercury dangerous is bioaccumulation, basically mercury tends to stay inside any living creature it ends up in so it naturally accumulates in predatory animals like sharks, tuna, and sea eagles. This is also why mercury poisoning is hard to cure since it stubbornly refuses to leave the body, most mercury compounds work slowly like that but some like methylmercury can kill very quickly with only skin contact.
I also have the good fortune of sharing a name with this stuff, its pretty great honestly.
@@Exquailibur
Fascinating! Thank you for the chemistry explanation. All I knew was that it built up in organic targets.
And about sharing a name, are you at least fast? lol
@@kitsunepsykhe No, my name is actually very ironic. I am not fast, nor do I deliver messages.
Arsenic and Cyanide would be the two friends who pretend to like each other but actually hate each other's guts.
I think Cyanide and Polonium 210 would be close because of their use by government officials or spies
Omg yes that’s so true lol 😭
There can only be one spy hitman
and they could secretly be plotting to kill each other, like every other "friendship" similar to that
A suggestion, since you mentioned nightclubs that made me think "what if famous (alcoholic) drinks were people?" I feel like that would be interesting! Love your art you inspire me a lot
Yes!! I actually kinda did this one time with a RWBY OC team, and all the teammates we're based off of alcoholic drinks, the leader was based on Absinthe :)
It was super fun to design them!
@@AkumaDayo oh that is so cool!
@@aquabluerose7734 thanks! I haven't really worked with them much, but I'd like to do a retouch of them at some point
My favorite RWBY OC team I've made so far tho is the team based on nursery rhymes! They're really fun characters :D
I decided to call them Team BERI which I thought was cute haha, it's based on John Newbery, who published the Mother Goose rhymes
The alcohol one is Team ACHL which is just.. team alcohol and that's not as creative lmfao
@@AkumaDayo oh wow the nursery rhyme team sounds awesome too, especially since s lot of those are kind of a mix of cute with creepy/violent which is perfect for a setting that has kawaii stuff juxtaposed with crazy weapons
@@aquabluerose7734 oh for sure haha, one of the characters I decided to base off of the spider from Little Miss Muffet lol
She's quickly become my favorite of the 4 :)
(Ironic, really, seeing as I'm arachnophobic :p)
lavendertowne walking us through what it would feel like to die by the worlds worst poisons in the most calming voice ever is so funny
I actually think its kinda scary
No but I fall asleep to this. Like I put on a lavendertown Playlist with this stuff and just fall asleep.
@@Child_ofPluto no you are so fr for that though lmao
@longevity9698 I'm also a horror author, and this gives me f-ed up dreams to work with
@@Child_ofPluto bro 💀💀💀
I really want to see her draw the periodic table/chemistry as characters that would be pretty cool
Edit: I know it would be a long series, so my idea is just to do the cool or interesting ones. Ofc she doesn’t have to do them all, that would be a lot lol
Ooh yeah
omg yes
that's an epic idea
potassium
Thats gonna be a lot-
Her precious
“Hey everybody! It’s Lavendertowne.”
Never gets old. We love you queen! 😍
Until she pulls out the quiet voice as she tells facts about the poison
Stop the Twitter queen nonsense.
@@CountingStars333 seriously i was so weirded out when I read that
cliche
So nostalgic, I remember watching her years ago.
It's scary how asbestos and lead paint/lead-lined pipes were in homes for decades before some places addressed that issue of poisoning and cancer development. Yet many, many places still have these deadly components in old and/or abandoned houses.
And a lot of cities still have old lead piping but it’s not a problem because Minerals create coating on the inside of the pipe to prevent Leaching so they add some minerals to prevent problems (they didn’t in flint to save money)
Something really Ironic about asbestos is that it was very commonly found in old gas masks.
Asbestos is scary, but unfortunately most people leave it alone because it’s expensive to remove it and it’s mostly safe when undisturbed
I feel like the cyanide character regularly disappears using smoke bombs because it's often used as a quick exit strategy and in smoke
That’s a big brain idea for that character
Ooh that’s a cool idea
absolutely
Some HCs for your poison characters cause they're really interesting:
- Cyanide and 210 both work for the same hitman industry. Cyanide is jealous of 210 for being used in more official cases and for being so effective in low doses (cyanide is naturally occuring in apple seeds and almonds, 210 is synthesised). 210, meanwhile, really doesn't care for Cyanide - while she aknowledges Cyanide's usefulness, she's quick to dismiss it as a poor man's way out (as 210 is usually used for very official cases)
- Arsenic used to work for the hitman industry but has since retired. He still gets pulled onto some cases though, and is always willing to take more
- Anthrax also works at the industry, mostly just as a messenger. They tend to be quite reserved. Neither Cyanide, 210 or Arsenic know what their deal is. So far, Anthrax hasn't been promoted further due to their lack of mass-scale hits, but they're quitely waiting for that day to come. Maybe. Hard to tell with them
- TTX and Botulinum are friendly with each other (both make the sufferer aware and are less humanoid) but don't talk often as TTX usually is reserved and keeps to themself
- Sometimes Botulinum and Arsenic talk make-up and beauty standards. Neither are quite sure why they are/were used but are very happy about the potential death they may cause
- Foxglove is a little bit ghostly, she can make herself invisible and can hover for a short period of time. She's also very afraid of the other poisons, considering how deadly they are compared to herself
- Main exception is Cyanide, which Cyanide despises (once again, naturally occuring in almonds and apple seeds). Somehow Foxglove managed to rope Cyanide into baking
- Cyanide can actually bake really well
- She's considering applying it to her hitman job
- Watch out
I imagined that the foxglove was very rich and paid the other poisons to do things for her. I also imagined her to be ghostly though, and thatshe could hover. But I also imagined her to make deals with people, gain their trust, then make her hitmen take care of them (because Foxglove looks harmless).
Haha arsenic old he retire haha pensions
I sorta like the idea of Foxglove being kind of a ghostly Baker.
And I enjoyed the thought of people calling arsenic old
Fav hc's ever
Update: This was actually Sarin gas and not Anthrax! My bad.
Fun fact: There was also an Anthrax attack on a Tokyo subway by a religious cult group. A member of the group went onto the train with a stack of news paper which contained two plastic baggies of Anthrax. He poked a hole through one of the bags, missing the other, with his umbrella before exiting the train. Soon people began violently coughing and walking around the train, kicking around and spreading the fluid from the bag. Now the Tokyo trains were intensely clean so news quickly reached management about the litter and people were sent to clean it up, only to find people gasping and coughing for air. Many many people died that day and the group was caught for these actions and discovered to have a secret lab for creating a lot of anthrax.
That's fine! I didn't need to sleep tonight!
I remember hearing that on a podcast my dad was listening to, ots terrifying
It was actually Sarin gas, not entirely sure how to spell it but the cult is known as Aum Shinrikyo, also unsure of how to spell that
@@luckyrobin Oh my gosh you're right I'm so dumb lol. Thank you for correcting that! Also loving the Portal pfp.
Not so fun fact: because of this Sarin Gas attack many places in Japan removed trash cans because the gas was hidden in the trash cans
I love the detail that the cyanide (that burn you inside), carries a cigarette-
AND that she mentioned Jonestown case
when the thing that burns your insides burns its insides
I honestly didn't know of that was how they died in Jonestown. I knew they were forced to drink a poisoned juice but not what possible was in it
I was surprised she didn't mention the cakes Rasputin ate that had enough cyanide in them to kill a whole building full of people
@@cbgaming7209 The worst part is that the mayority weren't forced, they were so mentally f--ked up (because of manipulation and paranoia) that they happily accepted, they had also had fake drills like that before, only in the previous ones no one died.
There is even a tape recorded of the moment, but it is quite strong so I don't know if I recommend listening to it, I actually cried-
you can really tell she's a character designer from the way she carefully researches to find what elements would be relevant and work well for each character
as a budding herbalist and botanist, i've grown a fondness for poisonous plants and their wild history with people, and i loved your depiction of fox glove! now i'm trying to imagine what your creative depictions of other plants would be, like say jimsonweed with its clever background and wacky yet terrifying side effects, maybe a psychotic soldier or sadistic chef? Either way I love your pieces, cant wait to see more if you do!
I love how shes teaching us deadly poison and drawing them scary while her voice is so soft and beautiful..
ASMR bio warfare
@@JakeSigomg that should become a thing
On my way home from school I often see a small bank where plants grow, and side by side are foxgloves and deadly nightshade. I find it really interesting every time I see it, because foxgloves are pretty, innocent looking flowers, and deadly nightshade are the closest plant I've seen to a Disney villain. I have been too tempted to draw them as a couple since.
Edit: Anyone can draw this, I'm not guarding the idea go ahead :)
You should! And if not, could I?
@@e6026 I'm not going to copyright the idea, I think they'll make a deadly cute couple. Go ahead. (:
@@robynwest3625 can I draw it too?
@@izzyash775 Yes of course, this idea is free to anyone who wants it
fun fact: deadly nightshade is also know under the name of atropa belladonna and also its tastes sweet so non deadly nightshade cases say its yummy and finally it takes 10-20 berries to kill an adult
The Art of Poisoning Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Please allow me to intervene
With a warning most frightening
At any moment you just may be
A hapless victim of poisoning
[Pre-Chorus]
Arsenic at your picnic
Strychnine in your red wine
You might ingest unknowingly
Something strange in your coffee
At any moment there just may be
A dash of venom in your cup of tea
Hemlock at your potluck
Nightshade in your lemonade
[Chorus]
Organs failing one by one
Shallow breaths and then there's none
A pinch of this, a dash of that
Will have you lying lifeless on your back
It only takes a bite
Then you will not last through the night
A dose of this, a drop of that
You will turn green then quickly fade to black
[Verse 2]
Please be cautious with Hors D'oeuvres
For you don't know what you are served
An ingredient most disturbed
Will send you home in the back of a hearse
[Pre-Chorus]
Cyanide by the seaside
Mandrake in your pound cake
You might consume mistakenly
Bleach, lead, paint, or mercury
Even fruit can be most deadly
Just one bite and you're six foot deep
Anthrax in your lunch sack
Laudanum in your chewing gum
[Chorus]
Organs failing one by one
Shallow breaths and then there's none
A pinch of this, a dash of that
Will have you lying lifeless on your back
It only takes a bite
Then you will not last through the night
A dose of this, a drop of that
You will turn green then quickly fade to black
[Verse 3]
I plead you heed this cautionary tale
How your life could quickly be derailed
If done correct you certainly won't detect a thing
That's the heart in the art of poisoning
It takes a single blink to stop and think
Before you dive into your food or drink
If you dare to not beware of enemies
They might conceive your final tragedy
[Chorus]
Organs failing one by one
Shallow breaths and then there's none
A pinch of this, a dash of that
Will have you lying lifeless on your back
It only takes a bite
Then you will not last through the night
A dose of this, a drop of that
You will turn green then quickly fade to black

Amazing
It’s like a gorillaz song
I sang this out loud Ngl ☠️
@@Imaginedying434 it’s by a band called creature feature
I adore your more monstrous designs like with anthrax and botulinum, they fit so well with the poison and inhumane aspects of it. It definitely makes the viewer see the character has a poison and not a human, kind of distancing us and making us feel uncomfortable in a good way
I don’t know why, but I love this series
👍
It’s really good!
Same! Respect
Its very educational
Me toooo
I really love these drawings! In case you wanted to draw more of them, here are some ideas:
Belladonna (Looks like blueberries or elderberries, drawn as twins maybe? People can survive eating only a few, if both twins show up you know you are doomed)
Mercury
Lead
Blue-ringed octopuses (Blue hair? Elastics? Kind of an ocean/sea creature look to her)
I’m personally hoping to see strychnine: the bitter sugar, if she hasn’t done that one already (I honestly can’t remember)
Both of you gave me a pretty cool art prompt! Can I draw the poison's you two commented? If not that's ok.
Atropa Belladonna also known as the deadly nightshade, the fruit, the flowers and the leaves all extremely poisonous, the Belladonna is from the same family as potatoes, tobacco and tomatoes, it is also, my favourite flower.
the blue ringed octopus uses TTX.
It would be really interesting to see your take on doing Radium. Radium basically breaks down your bones. There used to be a company that used paint with radium in it to paint watches. They used Radium because it had a faint glow, but not too bright. They would have these women paint the watches. The women were dying from the Radium in the paint. Some were bedridden, some had broken legs, some women's spines would break. An awful way to die. The story of the Radium girls is really interesting to me, but also incredibly sad and disturbing.
Lead would be cool too! It's not as deadly as the other ones, but it is certainly more common. Robot?
@@randomaccount14362 I meant lead, like piping?
@@randomaccount14362 Neat explanation though!
Some of them ingested it on purpose to make themselves glow in the dark after their job.
Apparently after they died, you could still see their bones glow.
I've seen the story of the radium girls 😞
Her calm voice talking about deadly poisons is just amazing
5:50 I LOVE THAT DESIGN OML
They kinda hot--
@@abiliv-lf9tz real…
I didn't think I'd ever say this, but botulism looks SO cool! Their design is really unique and different from your usual character designs, and you pulled it off really well! Also love the first one too, they're oddly adorable with the little mail uniform lol
I love these “turning things into people” videos it’s so interesting to watch
Yea especially with the stories she tells. Definitely my favourites !
Drawing things as people is really fun
2:53 love the smiley face on the jacket, 100000/10 🤌✨✨✨
I love this series, and if it continues, I have a few suggestions for poisons you could draw:
Nightshade
Hemlock
Oleander
Manchineel (Basically the death tree)
Rosary Pea
Ricin
Thallium
As you can see, I have a weird fascination with poisonous plants 😂
Same. Love deadly plants
Edit: havent watched the first video, has she done lilies of the fields?
@@treesap2566 No, but she has done foxglove!
@@YouveBeenMegged i just watched that one after i finished this one. I loved her design ❤️
@@treesap2566 I do too!
yeah no worries theyre very cool. The only two of those I havent heard of is Rosary Pea and Ricin
I was really hoping for Oxalic Acid here, but everything else was great! Would LOVE a part 3
Hopefully she makes a part 3, I was hyped for Ricin
YES.
LAVENDER, DO YOU HEAR ME? DO PART 3 *NOW*
(jk, you can do it in your own time but i would love a part 3!)
@@Weird-to-the-core Hopefully, I really hoped there was nightshade/hemlock
i reaaalllly wanna see vx
@@eternal_m1dnight140 my name is hemlock and i was looking for that one!
Honestly i love your designs because you actually knew about the poisons and what they did, where most people would be like “oOo creepy monster that resembles nothing of the actual poison”, so I congratulate you on that.
I love how much actuall research she does for all of her character design videos like this. It's truly impresive how much she cares. Thank you!
Lovely depictions of characters for these poisons! Would love to see hemlock or belladonna on this list, as well as lead poisoning as that was a real common occurrence in the 1900s and there was an event where many people had died from lead poisoning that was in green paint. Lead was a huge commodity back then
Pretty sure the oaint waa calles "paris green" or something like that.
@Mocha_the_Wild_Bean
Hi! I mean no harm in my reply, but the green paints that I believe you are referencing actually contained arsenic.
(Like Paris Green)
However, many different paints did contain lead.
I hope you have a nice day!
On otherhand, lead is used in bullets, mostly as core for non-shotgun types, tho bullets kill people more often than the lead...
i don't know if it counts but carfentanil would be a cool thing to see as a human
Buttercups would also be a cool one to see.
*I actually really like the design for Anthrax that you did. Making it a shadowy, faceless entity cuz of it's history of being use as a way to kill while also be hard to trace it back to it's users is an interesting take on it.*
If you do a part 3, may I suggest Agent Orange? It is an utterly horrifying substance that is still affecting people years after its use. Researching it is not for the faint of heart. I'm curious to see how you could turn it into a character.
That and hemlock and nightshade as of how iconic those one are
Awesome band
@@michaelmouse3979
Ooo yes! I would love it if nightshade had a Victorian dress because of how long it’s been in use
@@michaelmouse3979 Ooooooooh I also want those
Yeah as a Vietnamese person (aka one of the people from one of the countries that were affected by this) it's absolutally horrible how much harm it cost. Also if she actually do it it would be very interesting considering the kind of damage it have done
8:35
They’re….wow🛐
I heard a thousand hear me outs
Your Cyanide design reminds me of when you designed Greed (in your seven deadly sins as cute girls video) ! Now I'm head cannoning them as sisters- they work closely as partners in crime, tempting authoritative figures to gets their hands on some cyanide, feeding off those desperate to crush their enemies and seize more power.
YEEESSSSS
I feel like it would've been an interesting design to add small buttons shaped like almonds and apple seeds on Cyanide, or put them falling off the scale, but the one you drew looks so mischievously menacing that it might not have quite fit in
8:45 The botulinum looks like forbidden mint chocolate chip, prove me wrong🙃
ᴜʜʜ, ɪ ᴄᴀɴᴛ -
ɪ ᴊᴜsᴛ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ...
I know you haven't asked for names, but I wanna name them.
Anthrax: Andy
Cyanide: Cayden
Botulinum: Betty
I feel like she didn't gave them names cus the poisons are there names
the names i thought of were for anthrax ("Ayin") and cyanide ("Carmen")
i like yours a lot tho :D
anthrax could be anthony instead
All of these fit so well T-T
Nice!! You named a poison after my toxic ex :D
you might have already done this poison, but thallium is one of my favorites. i learned about it when watching the movie based off of agatha christie's the pale horse. it's colorless, tasteless, odorless and slow-acting. before the antidote was discovered, it was known as the poisoner's poison and the symptoms can often be mistaken for other ailments. some of the main symptoms or tell-tale signs of the poison are hair loss and peripheral nerve damage. recommend looking into it :)
Oh yeah, same! I learned about it from Forensic Files! What fascinates me is the fact that most tests don’t pick up on thallium. In other words, unless you’re looking for it, you won’t find it.
I hope she does it
@@YouveBeenMegged yess so did i !! love forensic files
@@sokkaluvr SAME!
I think she should do many of the harmful heavy metals, some are extremely nurotoxic like lead, and some are even radioactive!
I hope there’s a part 3 to this, because this is really interesting to me, especially with the amount of research you do on these :0
Definitely should do Wolfsbane as one of them next since that one is rather infamous in history and mythology. From the Roman Empire to the Mongolian invasion of Japan and so on. Very vile in its effects and dosage can be fine tuned for efficiency or maximum suffering
@@xerozu69 hemlock also, the famous poison that killed socrates
no part 3 :(
Lavendertowne once again is going to make my day with her calming voice and art videos/skills
I love how she has such a calming voice/art but also makes spooky "if poisons were people" drawings lmao (it just makes it so much better)
@@CandyThighs ikr! 😂🕺🏾💃🏾
Ikr!
Such a calming voice, yet she’s talking about poison-
I’d love to see you do a video on turning desserts into cute people (cake, cannoli, cookie, ice cream sundae, root beer float, etc)! I love watching your videos of turning miscellaneous things into people - almost every detail of the designs has a reason to them and I find the designs really appealing! :D
Dessert
Baklava, creme brulee, different types of pies from around the world, to name but a few things
9:05
This was the worst timing for me to be eating a can of fish. Really the worst. Now I have to feat for my life as I eat
I'm kind of suprised that you didn't mention Zyclon B along with Cyanide. It's the Cyanide-based gas that was used during the holocaust. (Rest in peace all those who fell victim to the horrors that went on in those wretched camps).
Yeah, Zyklon-B was originally a pesticide. The Nazis tested it and other poisons for efficiency during the Holocaust, and ended up deciding it was the best method of mass-murder.
I didn't know the name of the gas. I learned something today
@@brickmaster6775 I'm glad that I could teach someone something :]
on the plus side, chemotherapy?
Funny thing, at first it was used as rat poison and smelled horribly because there were things in there for humans to notice. During the Nazi regime it was changed to be odorless...
It’s sad how most of these so far have been used in a political sense, and how humans have become willing to cause such painful and horrid deaths amongst one another for some sort of their own gain.
I will say, I love your character designs and they suit the toxins very well. Lovely art as always.
I really hope you do a part 3! I've really enjoyed seeing how you envision them, and learning as well. Also, my friend suggested that these poisons together as characters would make for a very interesting manga.
Its not entirely a poison, but if you do a part 3 could you do Sarin? Its not as popular and its more of a poisonous gas than an actual poison, but I really want to see your design of it!
It's tasteless and odorless and can cause tremors, seizers, and hypothermia. Its super deadly and can cause death in mere minutes. I think it could be interesting to see the character you make for it!
Also they would use Radium ( a highly toxic and radioactive substance) as a glowy paint.
Ayyy, it's cool seeing a sequel to the poison video! Even more so, now that cyanide and anthrax were covered 🥰
I’ve learned so much about poison from these art videos, the NSA won’t suspect a thing!
An important thing to note is that this well known cyanide is hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Not all cyanides are poisonous the same way.
A cyanide refers to a compound, a salt that contains the atom group (CN)^- that comes from the acid hydrogen cyanide. (I'm still a beginner so I might be wrong :v)
Edit (2 months later): The most known cyanide poison is potassium cyanide KCN. HCN is also very toxic like lots of cyanides. KCN is a salt of HCN.
I love your videos like always!
:]
Thanks I almost could have made a very very wrong gas.
Everytime I look at your art I feel the urge to draw.
rightt it's so motivating

I can't even begin to explain how happy Haley's genius videos make me. I'm always hit with an instant wave of inspiration, gosh am I excited to watch this.
Could you do one for diphtheria? Its one of the most terrifying diseases I've heard of, if you start showing signs there's nothing that can be done because the back of your throat is legit being dissolved by the toxin
here, have an ice pack

Relatable... XD
Awesome lesson that you can get inspiration literally ANYWHERE
God I love these videos and your art so much! Toxicology and poisons are one of my interests right now (my anxiety does not really enjoy it sadly)
Oof kinda relatable. I'm so scared of like everything, but I've been getting into creepy stuff of and on.
@@rivercrow5151 this comment is much to replaceable for me-
Hey, Lavendertowne! :D
Your last video inspired me I tried to make a character based on Pink Oleander (Rose Laurel or Nerium). It's a shrub native through much of Europe, Asia, Africa (Hardiness level 8), and every part of the plant is highly toxic. It secretes a milky latex that can cause convulsions, rash, nausea/and gradually shuts down the nervous system in high enough quantities.
The thing is- Oleander is used most commonly as a decorative plant. Apparently in small enough doses it's been used through traditional medicine to treat ulcers, heart and breathing problems, and stomach problems: but there's actually very little evidence to suggest it actually helped with anything.
I think at one point, she may have been a Pretty Milk Maid living in someplace like the Queen's Hamlet at the Palace of Versailles, but... That's just the way I took it!
I'm curious if you're going to continue doing this series, and can't wait until the next installment if you chose to continue!
warning this is an emo joke, some may not get it.
when i heard cyanide first thing i thought of was :
WHAT A 4:30 SUPRISE YOU HAVE LEFT FOR MY EYESS,
IF I HAD COMMON SENSE ID CUT MUSELF OR CURL UP AND DIE,
STIIICKS AND STOONES COULD BREAK MY BONES,
BUT ANYTHING YOU SAY WILL ONLY FUEL MY LUUUUUUNGS
:inhale:
DONT MIND US WERE JUST SPILLING OUR GUTS,
IF THIS IS LOVE I DONT WANNA BE LOVED!!!!
I love how you draw and tell us about the poison, most people would just draw and speak about what they like about the drawing. I really love your content, you are such a big inspiration!
Hi LavenderTown. I love your character designs. I also love how much research went into each of your designs. If you are going to do more deadliest poison characters, here are some of my recommendations.:
Cinnabar - contains deadly amounts of mercury. The mercury is released in a gas form when heated. It was used in ancient cosmetics and antique oriental jewelry because of it's rich red color.
Kohl - contains lead. Kohl, also known as Kajal, used in the middle east in traditional eye-liner products. Ancient Egyptians believed it warded off eye diseases.
Belladonna - aka deadly nightshade. The plant gets it's toxicity from a substance called Tropane Alkaloids. There are many types of plants related to the Belladonna, such as the Atropa, Henbane, and the Mandragora. The Belladonna has been used in herbal medicines, cosmetics, as well as murders. This plant has been found in north Africa and Europe.
Hemlock - The poison that the Greek philosopher Socrates drank when he died.
Arconite - Known as "The Mother in Law's poison" in ancient Greece and Rome.
Tubocurarine - Historically used to poison the tips of arrows and darts for hunting by South American Native tribes. It is made from a mixture of toxic plants. In the mid-1900's, it was used as an anesthetic during surgery to relax the muscles.
Cardenolide - A plant based steroid. It is toxic because it inhibits the body functions that are responsible for maintaining sodium and potassium ions. This poison is known to be fast acting and cause cardiac arrest. As a medicine, plants with cardenolide has also been used to treat cardiac functions. In far east Asia, sap from plants that contain this poison was also used on the tips of arrowheads.
I wish I could save a comment, this is great information and very inspiring
@@Mel0nCake404 yeah same
It's Towne, with an E, lmao
I think there's actually some evidence that Kohl helped ward off eye disease, but mostly because it'd just kill the microorganisms that would cause those diseases.
@@lucyla9947 That is correct. Kohl did help ward off eye diseases and helped reflect excess sunlight off the wearer's eyes.
can we just talk about how talented she is and how calming her voice is? i love her content sm and thank you lavendertowne for being a youtuber.

Also really love this "turning poisons into persons" idea, your cute and a bit spooky artworks inspires me so much, thank you!
Its cyanide :)
@@themaincharacter420 oh, thanks! :з
Probably won't see this but id love to see an entirely plant-based poisons 'episode'! Like how you've already done foxglove- like yew, nightshade, stuff like that! Most of the actual poison is the same, as you've said, but I'd like to see how you'd design characters & creatures based off of the stories around the plants themselves, as well.
Maybe Nerium Oleander as well I think it could make a nice design
had me at 8:57 . I was eating pringles right then, got me damn paranoid lmao
Radium and mercury would be cool as hell too! if you’ve read the radium girls book you would be shooketh by the shit it can do 🏃🏼💨 mercury could totally have alice in wonderland design references from the mad hatter (mercury in hats caused dementia and coined the term) and radium? Like a character with discolored skin patches and clothes burnt? Okay imma stop i sound super dangerous-
That's actually a really cool idea!
@@Miscellaeous9209 😭😭TYSM-
definitely on board with this idea !
@@door9758 jump on the train of brain my friend!
@@conconcrete i am jumping on this train so hard rn the train wont eve nknow whats coming 😈😈
I always get super excited when you post, you've been such a big inspiration for me when it comes to art and animation. Keep up the great artwork and I hope you have a good day!
a bot copied your comment and is getting more likes than you >:(
@@amygdal.a oh- Thanks for letting me know
@@amygdal.a yea,saw it too:')
The OG comment
8:30 I really like the design but I think you should’ve added some element of bitter almond
i've found poisons super interesting for a while so i love this series!
i would love it if you did one of these “if ____ were people” videos by drawing the characters before doing research vs after doing research
I think my favorite design you did out of all of these was Foxglove. Her design is so cute 💜
same
I'd still love to see you do one with venoms, especially with the venom of the irukandji jellyfish, I think there are so many different ones with weird effects you can choose from
For some reason, Poison tends to makes a really interesting character design.
Its has this allure to it.
I like the idea of Arsenic and Cyanide interacting like Rosie and Alastor
Yess been waiting for this, if you do a part three, you could include poisons like deadly nightshade, which are found in plants and don't need much refinement/concentration
We need a part three! I love how creative she can be with these poisons! Its so inspiring😍
This is amazing! The characters are expertly creepy as they should be, and you did a lot of research for these different poisons. If you are planning on making a third part, you should look up Ricin, it's a poison that comes from the castor bean (a really common decorative plant in the United States), and is super accessible to the public due to how easy it is to produce.
I always enjoy watching LavenderTowne’s videos! She is such a talented artist! ❤️
I feel like these characters could belong in some awesome obscure horror-ish video game. They're so cool and have so much personality!
I find poisons extremely fascinating and I absolutely love talking about it. This is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever made and the character designs are awesome as always in both part one and part two! Usually when I tell people like my father or friends about poison, they think I’m implying I want to poison them and not that I’m telling them this so they don’t get poisoned. Overall it was very calming for me to hear about my favorite topic from you because your voice sounds so nice.
Let’s gooooooo!! this poisons into people series inspired me to write about ‘why we need to teach plant identification’ for school
4:20 DAAMNN and i thought the methane being released into the atmosphere was bad. now i’m gonna worry about sky anthrax
When I was a kid, I used to mash up pokeberries and use them like ink. The ink was very pretty, but I’m glad I never accidentally ingested any, or else I might not be alive today. If I had known they were poisonous, I never would’ve gone near them lol.
this poisons series is probably my favorite from you, wow. its so interesting and your designs are great :D
Every time I hear "Cyanide" I am reminded of the time my friend was like: "There is a small amount of cyanide in apple seeds. So... if I blended up (8-12, I forget the number) and chug it _reeeal_ quick, I could die of Cyanide poisoning."
Hate to burst your friend’s bubble, but you would have to eat hundreds of apple seeds to actually get cyanide poisoning.
@@YouveBeenMegged I heard 200 but I think that’s a myth
@@e6026 I’m not sure what the exact number is, but I got it from Game Theory and I trust them.
Petition to make these characters an actual villain team? Terrifyingly beautiful!
your character design for cyanide is SO GOOD. The idea of the scales and her pushing them, and then the shapes with her hair and the smoke are so satisfying and smart ahhhhh
What I love about the Cynide design is that she looks like a 30s PI or detective and it was Agatha Christie's poison of choice for characters ☺️
I love this series, poison is so fascinating in a morbid way, there is so many creative ways they can end you and, the history is even more intriguing
I love the designs so much due to the research behind them, I’m surprised you didn’t know that arsenic was commonly used in vivid green wallpapers! It would have made a great vest colour and pattern.
and food!
YEEES! IM SO GLAD YOU MADE A SECOND!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE FIRST ONE!!!!
These are some of my favorite drawings ever! Not just because of the quality, but because of all the story behind each poison that gets incorporated in each picture.
ok but can we just talk about her improvement for a second? i feel like there are way more details in her art in the recent videos than even just a few months ago. the eyes especially really strike me as different in a good way. it's like a totally different artist is drawing them, yet it still has the classic lavendertowne touch to them. good work, queen
My best friend watches your videos (so do I,we both love your art) and now she keeps simping for the poisons you turned into people
bro i had to turn the volume close to max to hear her voice
shes so shy but her voice is so soothing i love it
It's actually amazing that she does research and tells us about the poisons on top of drawing and describing characters, it's so interesting to watch
Love how this comes out the day after I start studying toxicology
Free research lol
