i did it, guys - i published a book. :')

a clockwork melody is available to purchase on lulu.com, and will be coming to major ebook retailers hopefully in the next 6-8 weeks.

i just killed a man, she’s my alibi

i ended up tweaking jasper’s design again (updated version on the left) in that i went back to how i used to draw his eyes. i don’t remember my initial reason in changing it? i think it was for … spoilery reasons that i’ll ramble on about under a cut, but i feel like this looks more like him now.

je te laisserai des mots, en dessous de ta porte, en dessous de la lune qui chante

but it’s just a headache, isn’t it?

i had all and then most of you, some and now none of you

if i could show you how it feels, would you even believe me?

got my heel crushing the snake, there is nothing you can take

think i forgot how to be happy, something i’m not but something i can be

i’m alive! it took me a while to recover enough to actually focus on art, but i had the idea for this while i was recuperating and i’ve had… A Lot of thoughts

will you still love me when i’m no longer young and beautiful?

i saw this was a theme on insta again and i couldn’t not revisit my tragic immortal/mortal duo with @ichorastralis

when i say this broke me… i am so distraught with myself for doing this LOL, but also super proud i didn’t cave and just post the happy one after i finished it :’D

in the theme of stumbling across old artwork to do it justice, i spent … an embarrassing amount of time searching for the half finished sketch i did of this guy because i wanted a second shot at it

i am immensely pleased i did

there’s something rotten, i feel it inside me…

i've been listening to incubator by zoë starra a lot lately. i've had some complicated emotions towards some Health Issues, and it really encapsulates a lot of them really well, lol.

bonus version with hands + tech, since i thought it looked cool but didn't like it enough to post everywhere:

scattered across forever out from creation’s core an end beyond compare i r i d i u m

about … six years ago i did i super shitty sketch of the lutaidhr at work with three coloured pencils, and when i stumbled across it the other day in my google photos highlight i was compelled to rework it.

the tattoos are a major spoiler so just pretend you don’t see them if you ever wanna be surprised by this plot twist

bonus bloodier version:

where did i go wrong? i lost a friend

i did it again, i forgot to post ✨art✨ here

i had this wip in procreate for months, i did so much research for fighting stance references and then it sat unfinished for ages until i went to go and finish it the other day lmao

i had the idea that matt is low key very good at mma and probably used this to his advantage beating up transphobes or just anyone who threatened him or his friends

bonus more overtly trans version:

but now, i'm fading to black their teeth in me, the way that i bled so easily, but when i look back i became what they did to me

it's been literal Years since i drew líadain and i needed to correct that

bonus slightly spoilery version:

and if we don’t live forever maybe one day, we’ll trade places darling, you will bury me before i bury you

i was inspired by this skeleton of a scythian woman who apparently chose to be buried with her husband, and of course… i immediately thought of charlotte and jasper.
