Sebaciel Week 2023 - Day 2 (Brighton)
"Oh, so he's your chaperone? Not anyone...special?" "I'd like him to be my chaperone. I'd have him escort me everywhere; the dance hall, the gardens, my bed..." "Agnes!" "Oh, don't pretend that you didn't notice how well fit his trousers were. I saw you staring when he turned his back." "Of course I did I'm not blind, but I wasn't going to mention it while we're still in public. Celia? Are you feeling well, you're terribly flushed..."
Edit to add: inspired by @puppyfan9000's post here
Notes about the piece under the cut:
Created using oil paints and pastels in Realistic Paint Studio
The dresses are based on real fashion plates from 1889 which can be seen here. The hairstyles and hats are just approximations of late Victorian styling, not rooted in anything specific.
This was supposed to be a 2-3 piece set/comic, but alas I ran out of time and patience. I may or may not come back and finish them at a later date when the thought of drawing Ciel's dress and hair again doesn't make me want to claw my eyes out
Ironically, the very first (and last) Kuro fanart I did was a fem!Ciel drawing back in 2009/2010. I still have it tucked away in a folder. I might add it here later for laughs.
This is actually the first time I've drawn in.....8 years? I'd always liked drawing and my senior year of college I managed to squeeze in a drawing class and a painting class, but then real life happened and no more drawing. I'd forgotten just how much I love it.
On a similar note, this is the first time I've legitimately done digital drawing. I've tried in the past but could never get over the learning curve of traditional art to digital art. The program that I used has a UI based on traditional art and that's been extremely helpful.

Older than history itself
What if the oldest vampire was a Neanderthal girl 🤔

The Death of Duty
Sebaciel Week 2023 - Day 7 (Eldritch)
Notes about the piece under the cut:
This was created using charcoal and watercolor in Realistic Paint Studio
I think this is my favorite piece I did for Sebaciel week. I finished this in one hyper-fixated haze of a weekend. I think it helped that it's much more "realistic" looking in terms of style, which is much more my wheelhouse
I didn't realize this when I thought of this image, at least consciously, but it ended up being a gorgeous parallel to that one panel in the Campania arc (you know which one). It wasn't until I was doing a reread of the arc a few weeks ago that I realized I'd accidentally done something brilliant
