[Image ID: Monochrome digital drawing of Caramelinda Rocks in blue and gray tones. She is wearing a wedding gown adorned with lace, ruffles and pearls with a huge blue jewel on her neck. Her hair is decorated with small blue flowers, as well as a crown holding up a veil that goes over her face. She is crying, and holding a big blue bouquet of flowers.

NOX DOLENTIAE, a Disco Elysium x Sweet Religion zine made for the @d20zinejam​, is live! The zine adapts dialogue from the game into a dream conversation between Belizabeth and Citrina. You can get the zine here as part of the D20 Zine Jam charity bundle with 30+ other zines, or here as a solo work.

Here are some preview pages!

[ID: the first images shows the words NOX DOLENTIAE as a shadow over a textured background in green tones. The second image shows three pages: one is four drawings of Belizabeth’s eyes slowly opening over a background fading into dreamy clouds, one is a  dialogue over a background fading into a flame-like texture (Belizabeth: Are you going to stay? Citrina: No, Belizabeth. I have to leave and you have to be alone, in hell, forever. That’s just the way it is.) The third page shows Belizabeth, sitting on a bed, turned towards Citrina standing next to the bed. Belizabeth is asking Citrina “Will we ever see each other again?” End ID.]

A spirit!lapin for day 2 of @acocweek! This is a companion piece to my old Keradin one, and it is also inspired by my headcanon that Lapin was/should have been a spirit created by the Sugarplum Fairy and could have come back as a bitter chocolate spirit to help and/or destroy her. I wrote a fic about it!

[Image ID: Digital drawing. At the top, three rabbit skulls from profile are drawn in white against a dark, textured purple background. The skulls' eyes glow more and more from left to right. Dark smoke curls in the middle of the page. Bottom right, a front facing rabbit skull with glowing eyes and bone ears is on top of a vague body-like shape with the shadow of dragonfly wings. Scattered throughout the piece are the words "no grave can hold my body down, I'll crawl home to her." End ID.]

My contribution to @kindlespark‘s CANDY COUTURE, a more or less historical fashion zine for ACOC characters! It's an Elizabethan-inspired portrait of Belizabeth. You can get the zine as part of the D20 Zine Jam itch bundle, or here on its own!

[ID: Portrait of Belizabeth Brassica in the style of an Elizabethan court portraits. Her skin is green, her curly hair parted down the middle and tied back. She is wearing an elaborate gown in dark green and cream fabric. The cream fabric is embroidered with lemon tree leaves, while the dark green parts are embroidered with lemon blossoms. Her sleeves have a light green mesh overlay. She has an elaborate lace ruff around her neck that matches her cuffs. The gown is adorned with pearls, and she has a citrine gem on her chest and in her hair. A transparent veil hangs from her lace headpiece. She holds a yellow chrysanthemum in her right hand, and her left hands rests on the Book of Leaves. End ID.]

My contribution to @mxrspider‘s zine, HOW DO I DEAL WITH THIS? It's a zine inspired by children's books on how Sam, Aelwyn, Caramelinda and Ayda have dealt with their problems! It's really beautiful, has lovely writing, and even an AUDIO BOOK! You can get it here as part of the D20 zine jam charity bundle, or here on its own!

[ID: Drawing of Ayda Aguefort in sepia tones. She is a black half-phoenix with fiery hair and wings and glowing swirling tattoos on her arms.

The two pages I made for @noitsnacktime‘s The Traveler’s Guide To Nod travel pamphlet zine! The entire thing is a lot of fun and it’s such a cool idea, you can find it amongst the other zines available in the D20 Zine Jame charity bundle! You can also get it here as a solo work. The full text of the FAQ is available on AO3 if you want to read it!

[ID: The first image is a pamphlet-sized travel ad for Null. The background is an abstract, glitchy building in front of lights from cars. The colours of the piece are black, blue, green, red and orange. The main text reads "follow your dreams to NULL*" and the asterisk leads to text at the bottom reading "offer subject to certain conditions. Travel into the Deeper Dreaming requires heavy psychic and magical involvement and should not be attempted without the help of a professional. It is strongly recommended to purchase travel insurance before traveling into the Deeper Dreaming. DeepTravel Inc. declines any liability for theft, injury, death, or otherwise loss of physicality that may occur in the Deeper Dreaming. More information available in our FAQ." The background behind "NULL" is very glitchy. The second image is an FAQ page regarding travel to Null. The page is a very light version of the previous one, but any mention of Null or Heather Simos is partly hidden by glitches or corrupted text in dark colours. End ID.]

i know i said what i posted yesterday was also for day 5 of @acocweek, but i couldn’t help myself, so here’s something else for “angst” <3 quote from animal flag’s st cecilia.

[Image ID: digital drawing. Belizabeth Brassica, seeming very small, is kneeling in the apse of a cathedral before huge stained glass windows representing Saint Citrina holding up the Bulb and pushing away the Hungry One. Behind Citrina is a halo exploding into rays of yellow, orange, red and purple. The lighting is soft and warm. Over the illustration appear the words “every time I kneel down to meet my maker, the only thing I see is your face”. End ID]

day 3 of @acocweek - favourite scene!!!

top 10 guys who were born to die.

[Image ID: Digital drawing. Keradin Deeproot is a dark silhouette against a textured purple background. He has one completely filled purple eye and is falling backwards. In the background, a broken bulb and a crossbow are faintly drawn. Words are repeated all over the background, "you are a pawn you only seek control and fear, you follow the pontifex, you are not ordained, everything you believe is fake" in dark colours. In lighter colours, only appearing once, the words "I'm scared" stand out. End ID.]

wanted to mess around and make a lapin companion piece to my keradin poster! alternate version under the keep reading.

[ID : an angular, minimal poster. Lapin Cadbury’s silhouette is black against a neon pink and blue background. An outline of insectoid wings and a halo are behind him. The only detail on his face is the outline of 5 eyes in neon pink. At the bottom of the image, in black, are crystals disintegrating. End ID.]

[ID : the image is the same as the above one, but the neon pink and blue in the background are reversed. The crystals are now blue. End ID.]

I was honoured to illustrate the song City Lights on the latest Sig Figs Collective album, Voxes: Stimulant!! It’s an absolute piece of art and I urge you to go listen to it RIGHT NOW.

ID : Digital drawing of some buildings of the New York skyline at sunrise. The style is painterly with rough, simple brush strokes. The rising sun peaks through the buildings and shines through them with sun glare. The main colours are orange and red, but some sun rays go into blue and purple tones. Some of the buildings' windows are lit. In the sky, letters read CITY LIGHTS in dark purple with a light shadow. End ID.

Posting for both day 4 and 5 of @acocweek with this - for the prompts “tragedy,” “favourite relationship” and “angst,” a Sweet Religion painting inspired by Gustave Doré’s Judas’ Kiss. This was a lot of fun!

[Image ID: digital painting of Belizabeth Brassica and Citrina Rocks. Citrina had yellow skin and blonde hair, and she is wearing a blue toga that covers her hair. She is on a 3/4 view and is looking down with a sad expression on her face. She is crying. Belizabeth has green skin and dark green hair tied in a ponytail. she is wearing a light green cape and is kissing Citrina’s cheek, eyes closed. Her left hand rests on Citrina’s shoulder. The background is dark, there is a halo with rays emitting from it behind Citrina’s head. End ID.]

“maybe we blame something immaterial. sin. evil. the machinations of something greater than us. and we seek salvation in action, in prayer. in holy violence.”

i think the bulbian church should have propaganda posters.
