Harrow The Ninth -mock dust cover

With the river in blue and with blood variations. I wanted to have some crossover from my gtn cover, making things partially destroyed , like the side flaps. As well as having the sword in the same position, Gideons presence is still there! Even if she, herself, is not 🥲

Next up will be Nona's cover!

And more closeups under the cut

when Pal tied his whole soul to his own skeleton

that was derived from Seventh magic…

the skeletons at Canaan might have been an inspiration too, he might have known he could turn himself into “what I'll term the hideous corpse”—but the art of attaching a shred of spirit to a corpse to keep it fresh or animated is thee school of magic practiced in the Seventh

he even draws the parallel in that same paragraph, when they figure out the skeleton servitors:

The beguiling corpse is a remnant of spirit attached to a perfect and incorruptible body—that's the idea, anyway—whereas what I'll term the hideous corpse is a fully intact spirit attached permanently to a rotting body.

Yay!! I'm back :D

This took way longer than I expected, I wanted to practice traditional art because my best friend gifted me a sketchbook and supplies that I really wanna fill!!

Originally I wanted to add bari somewhere too but then the pop ups covered way more than I was expecting so it didn't work

Also I'm actually already in canto 9 rn, I'm just not catching up that fast with this series bc school :((

But I also got Tomodachi life 2 and made some sinners on there, so Ill probably post doodles of fun interactions I saw on there before the hong lu art
