Correspondence Embroidery

My friend @slightly-sigilant designed a correspondence sigil based on the correspondence symphony my guy keeps trying to perform (to the detriment of my guy, cause the crowd seems to violently dislike it).

I loved it so much I embroidered a patch of it.

Translates to "all things as they are already perceived, eternally"

Hallowmas is coming up, and that's as good as a reason to dress up my lovelies as I need. So here are Ophelia van Montague Eden and her girlfriend Liberty, a deviless, both FLPCs of mine.

Despite Hallowmas being about dressing up as someone else, I've based their outfits on their genuine connections to the Neath's greater powers. It's far from based on any Victorian fashion, but I'm going to ping @neathyfashioncoalition anyway

As for credits: The main art is by me, but I stole the background from the internet. The original artist isn't trackable, sadly. It's young enough to be AI-generated, but I can't say for certain.

Libertango: I’ve Seen That Face Before

An exhilarating tale of death, detective work, and doppelgängers, recounting the exhilarating first meeting of the Novel Novelist (Emery Hyde created by @sparingiscaring ) and The Dandy Detective (Bret Heroux created by @thedandy-detective ) Written by the soon to be legendary master of mystery, Emery Hyde. It’s simply a must read for anyone with the stomach for literary thrills.

Found wherever books of ill repute are sold.

Approved for sale by the Ministry of Public Decency

My favorite art fight drawing I made this past July! And one of my favorite things I’ve drawn ever! So glad to finally have the chance to post this!!!

Inspired by the song by Grace Jones (As well as her compilation album Private Life, highly recommended listening)

Day 1 of drawing random cat photos on my phone as lamp-cats.

[jane-d-ankh-veos]

Some drawing practice in search of a more stylized approach. And at the same time, experimenting with combining May's canon design with my old attempts.

[incisors-galore]

eh i guess i'll make this it's own post too

Wines is based on a Jamaican fruit bat and Spices is based on a Western small-footed bat. Congrats to the divorcees on the painful unresolved tension.

The Sun (and the Bazaar)

[paintandpensandyarn]

@viric-dreams challenged me to paint Ockham on the other side of the Parabola mirror, so this is what I came up with.

Mr Veils!!!! one of my favorite masters, i simply had to do it justice!!!

(and by justice i mean start up a simple design piece that rapidly spiraled out of hand-)

i tried out two different filters on my phone to get this to look nice, and even then it only wants to pick up on so much, so please combine the two in your head for me?

design notes under the cut

So! while bat membranes can in fact heal themselves, I think at this point veils

(1) has been fighting so much and so frequently that its body just can't sustain the healing anymore, and thus the healing process has started to slow down considerably and begun showing scars

and

(2) Veils is very impatient and refuses to rest its wings, so they had to be mended

additionally, it has litle diamond-shaped reinforcement points to stop tears from splitting further or wearing further. (maybe I'll add more at the top next time instead of the bottom)

the three markings under its neck on its ruff are meant to resemble blood! because i am a sucker for both tragedy And meaningful or literal fur markings

it wears glasses! mostly as part of a costume and for Fashion, and to help it appear more intelligent. however, after centuries of fine detail work, veils has become... a little far sighted, and just may actually need them for closeup work.

it's greying, because old money, wealth, power, experience, and i think it deserves some grey fur <3

the bat species it's based on is the Spectral Bat, or the Great False Vampire bat! because ghosts, pretending to be what it's not, and also those bats are Viscious in a way i think suits veils Very Well

also, it's designed to be very muscular!

i was originally gonna give it horns because of that one bit of text but. i forgor.

Coins of the Neath! This is only about half of the project I have planned, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to show off what I have so far.

Descriptions and explanations under the cut!

Top left is a First City Coin. Described in game as having a cedar on one side, and a circle of script around either a face in profile, a pair of eyes, or an image of the Bazaar on the other side. The script is a mix of proto-cuneiform, archaic Sumerian ideograms/pictograms, and symbols of my own design, and is intended to translate more-or-less to "The Masters approach/bind the King to divide the earth, to guard his prince's heart. The Bazaar's oath to see the sun is the foundation and the destiny". It's roughly the story of the First City's fall, and the Bazaar's quest. The face is based on some representations of Gilgamesh, as a reference to May.

Top right is Hinterland Scrip. In game it appears to be more the paper money kind of scrip, but I'm from a coal and steel industry city and go nuts for scrip coinage, so this was a little self indulgent. It's a 50¢ coin since one scrip is about equal to 50p in game. The naming of the fake company is mostly just me wanting to both include hinterland in the name, and not have to cram in "the great hellbound railway company" on such a small coin lmao. 1899 is a personal reference to when I unlocked the railway. The punch design is a reference to FB's logo.

Center is a rat shilling! Not uh, technically coins, but I wanted to draw a rat. They're described in game as a flat piece of metal, sometimes a button, with a rat face scratched into one side and a knot of tails scratched into the other. One side reads "valid until no longer valid", which I find absolutely hysterical. I tried to invoke a kind of rostygold color to this one, since that's what it reverts to when the rat market closes.

Middle right is a Justificande coin. They aren't described very much in game, just that they're seven sided and say "one day you will forgive" on the back. So I took a lot of artistic liberties with this one! The seven headed serpent and roses are both very common Iremi symbols, so it made sense to me that they'd be featured on their currency.

Bottom left is a Fourth City Echo. Described in game as having a familiar profile of a spire on one side, and hudum writing on the other. Talking to the Numismatrix gives you further info that the writing is a promise for repayment, and a warning against using any other currency. I had to translate this through two different translators in order to get traditional hudum script (they use Mongolian Cyrillic nowadays more commonly) so it may not be perfectly accurate, but from left to right it should read "One Echo. The Only Currency."

And then bottom right is an Amber Ha'Penny. They're described as being tiny, sticky, and stamped with the image of a chain. It's supposed to be the same image of a chain on both sides, one being broken and one being forged, but I decided to have the sides slightly vary to reflect that better.
