Some face closeups of a commission I did a while back. This has to be one of my favourite ones, hands down 👏🔥

Here's a nice little close up of my latest commission for Alethea Faust and their novella Midsummer.

I remember when I read this novella and I was over the moon to realize it was placed in Finland and with all the precious Mid Summer celebrations and little details. So, needless to say that I was so freaking happy to be drawing this piece 😂👏

And as a reminder, I have a holiday sale going on, 15 % off all commission types until the end of December!

Commission Holiday Sale! To celebrate the holiday season, I wanted to do something a bit different this year. Starting today and going all the way until the end of December, all commission types are 15% off and commission slot numbers have been reset. I look forward to being able to bring your wildest character dreams alive ❤️🔥

Behold, the cover for my current WIP, The Voice of Wild Places. A queer fabulist historical fiction set in 1930, following two former childhood friends as they embark on an adventure in Brazil and search for a lost city, and the legendary explorer who disappeared looking for it.

@thistlearts is the wonderful author behind the cover !

“Can I ask you something?”

“Hm?”

“Why Sawyer?”

Cornelius closed his eyes on reflex. He swallowed, then said, “For my father. Sawyer, it pays homage to him and his work.”

“Oh,” Watt said. “Oh, Cornelius.”

Watt moved closer. Cornelius, quite sure he was not reading the situation correctly, remained still. He was glad for his second intuition, for Watt merely brought their foreheads together. They could have kissed. It would have been so easy. Neither of them seemed to be breathing, but Cornelius knew he had to be because his heart was racing a million miles an hour.

But they only laid together. Quiet, hands entangled between them. Foreheads pressed together and noses aligned. There was nothing romantic about it, not really. And yet, Cornelius had never felt more intimately touched in his life.

I decided I need some holiday magic around here so I decided to draw my boi Oisin and my husband's Tav, Scarlett, on a magical winter night.

There is all sorts of content available on my Patreon, free and otherwise. It's nice to have everything in one place, and I can be a bit more long winded over there. And there's fun extras like all the art I've commissioned, short stories and deleted scenes.

I talk about writing and publishing, with some basic how to resources and behind the scenes posts. You can also get ebooks, NSFW art and writing, and first looks at new books inside and out.

I've been slowly trying to shift most of my attention over there, as I think many other independent creatives are. It's nice to build a community without having to worry about the algorithm, and you can really focus on the craft and what it entails without worrying if you're going to lose your audience.

So anyway, that's my Patreon spiel. Link here.

Villaintober Day 6: Shadow

"Why don't you join me in the shadows where you can lose control and let me guide you?"

Ah, been waiting for this one 🤣

Villaintober Day 5: Mercy

"You beg for mercy like you know I would grant it for you. Why would I give it when I received none myself?"

Okay so nooow we get to the good part of Villaintober prompts, the what-ifs, things turned wrong, and different paths taken. All of the good, angsty, beautiful stuff. Ad the first one to do the honours is Karlach. 🔥

Villaintober Day 4: Cursed

"You call me the cursed one. However, are you sure it's not you who's cursed? Well, I believe we can be cursed together in this wretched land."

Ah, nothing better than using my husband's character for evil purposes. 😂

Villaintober Day 3: Origin Story

"Wait, something's different. This isn't the same noble hero I fought before. No. You've changed. What have you done?"

What better character to use for this one than my very own Tav, Oisin as a Durge. 😏

It is the Top Alastor week so here's my stuff

'Tis « spooky » season, chums!

I visited NYC and saw Jeremy Jordan in the Great Gatsby musical! It was so breathtaking, I HAD to draw Lucifer and Alastor in Jay Gatsby's clothes ❇️❇️❇️

It's a staring contest 👁👄👁

Villaintober Day 2: Justice "What is justice if the scale has only one bowl and it's overflowing? What is justice when the sword is rusted and stained?" Ah, the second day and I barely made it 😂 The artistic urge to overcomplicate the pieces is hitting me hard this year, it seems. Again. No surprises there.
