Please appreciate that I'd been putting off completing the designs for months and your ask made me get off my ass and finally do it lmao

Trying not to reveal too much here, but here you go! Should be a fun time.

Thank you for the ask !!

Romanceable characters in my new choose-your-own book: August 🍷🗡️💀🥀 🌿

With ending art by me, @alexassan and @kroovv - both artists whose sultry / moody / poignant / threatening vampire art I'm terribly in love with - I was delighted beyond words to work together and see their incredible illustrations take shape for the book

ANYWAY this book is fantastic it's so so so good. The other artists in it are just phenomenal and although August is the best vampire, the other love interests are also really hot and fun. I mean they're all vampires so you know it's gonna be a trip.

In Search of Absent Pigments by myself and Lin Darrow (the duo behind @shaderunnerscomic​), drawn in 2019 for the Come Together anthology. 

This Pride Month, we'll be sharing some recommendations for webcomics that feature queer characters and storylines! Today, we'd like to tell you about Shaderunners (@shaderunnerscomic), an alternate history noir comic by the writer Lin Darrow and the artist @alexassan.

A thousand years ago, the last colour in the world faded to grey. Now, after a great archaeological discovery, it stands ready to enter the world again. Ironwell City will become the birthplace of a burgeoning new industry, where colour is pumped out of factories, poured into perfumed bottles and sold at exorbitant prices to those wealthy enough to afford it. Now, in the city’s shadows, a group of ragtag bootleggers and bohemians band together to steal colour from the wealthy echelons of the city’s high society. Among them: a philosopher, a puppeteer, a gutter rat, an opera singer, a naval officer – and a hopeless romantic. Together, they run The Glass Dial, former watch shop and future speakeasy, where all the drinks run red.

If you'd like to help support these wonderful comics and the collective, reblogging our posts goes a long way. And of course, make sure to follow this account if you'd like to see more webcomic spotlights like this 🩵🩷 💛

The House Was a Funeral Pyre | Louis/Lestat, 74.5k words, rated explicit.

In the cold grime of 1910 Paris, with loud steps over wet pavement, an inebriated group of young bohemians were exiting a small theater and making their way home. They were shouting, rambunctious with laughter, and one of the men was dancing, bathed in the streetlight glow. He was beautiful. Louis watched from the above in the dark, from the top of the steps leading down to the dirty path. He stood between the shadows, and for the first time in almost one hundred years, felt the draw of the warm light below.

My Louis/Lestat role reversal AU fic is finally complete! There's seven chapters, each corresponding with an episode of season one, plus an epilogue. I worked really hard on this story, and I'm honestly pretty proud of it. If you choose to read it, I hope you enjoy!

Shaderunners returns November 3rd!

The third and final act of the story begins with two pages per week on Sundays and Wednesdays! The chapter is already complete, so updates will be consistent until mid-March at least. Thank you sincerely for your patience while we were on hiatus.

We were originally planning on dropping each chapter in its entirety once it was completed, but after receiving some feedback from readers we decided to return to our previous update schedule instead. We hope that you enjoy the upcoming chapter!
