Grian: Gah! I don't think I'll ever get used to that.

//hopital //Hey @halcyonmirage it's the menaces

I was shopping at the Artist Market in Melbourne, when I came across shelves of antique/pre-loved books. My brother's birthday was coming up and he's an avid reader, so, i had a goooood look. There was a leather bound book about observations of Oxford published in the 30s. Beautiful and astute, but not really something to read more than once. Hmmm, looked at fictions. There was a book about Mexican version of Dantes Inferno, depressing ending of course, not really birthday present material. Another book about a university student in the 20s/30s navigating his way through different groups of people, intellectuals, rebels, well-to-do types. Another depressing ending. Most other books like that, very interesting concepts, well written, witty and wise, but otherwise, desolate endings. Hmmm, lets change shelves then. Cooking books, ok, no, religious texts, definitely no. Poems... eck, poems about romance and love is, well, no thanks. Hang on... this has a squiggly line drawing of a Crow on the front. Hmmm, depressing maybe... no... funny... and fascinating.... with words that paint. You see things in your minds eye as you read. The flow, the lessons and the pointlessness of it. Thats the one. Crow, by Ted Hughes. As i read, I sketched. Then painted and sketched more, but i couldnt stick them inside the book without it being annoyingly messy... so, i decided to enhance the poems with sketches inside the book. Here's a sampling of what I sketched inside the book. #bohomouse #sarahjones #sarahjonesartist #fanart #inksketch #authorart #literatureart #birdpainting #sketching #gothicart #linedrawing #novelart #artist #australianartist #aussieart #poempainting #peoplesketch #watercolour #paintedpages #poetry #winsor&newton #poet #painting #art #tedhughes #crow (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClC36rUvw27/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

//One of the biggest things my girl Vera has struggled with in VtM is with her best friend, Flare, a human who had known about Vera’s vampirism since day one. Many sessions back, Flare left a note telling Vera that she was leaving the city, declaring that their worlds were too different, that she couldn’t live like this anymore and to not try contacting her. Well recently, one of the other player characters was sent to kill Flare, and it resulted in this scene, which I think was Flare’s final send-off. Ngl, that shit still got me fucked up.

//Wither me this! Here's a darling menace @alexs-moon-garden commissioned me for and got two variations of! When in doubt, pick both poses and both styles! And look at this adorable little gremlin! Surely they've got nothing dastardly up their sleeves 🤔

//Remember Memory? Of course you do! And of course she's in @shatteringangels and is once again, a menace. Once a 16th century peasant, this bitch died and went down to Hellish, where she's slowly become a bit more prominent in the ongoing war between angels and demons. Was this purposeful? Not really! She just really likes hunting and shattering angels is all <3

//Another commission I got from Viv on discord is a high quality sketch of Virian! I've never done a high quality sketch before, so this was an interesting challenge that turned out better than I could've hoped! Look at her and her little blood vial <333
