#ghost draws

I’m only able to put effort into the stupidest drawings.

For Flufftober 2025's day 16 prompt: "Pillows, plushies, piles of blankets." Enjoy the most uncomfortable goths (Gideon and Harrow of the Locked Tomb book series) being cozy.

Watch the drawing process:

[Image description: A cover art with a purple, long-robed, hooded figure holding a golden staff in hand, with face obscured. The background is a dulled pastel blue, with layers fading from a darker shade at the bottom of the picture to lighter shades at the top. Clockwork is shown from behind; white circles of portals float above him in various sizes, thin lines intertwining each. The title and author, 'No Absolution by Valen,' appear at the top centre in italic white chalk-like text over a dim grey brushstroke.]

Read Valen's wonderful fic here: No Absolution [ao3 page] [tumblr]

Summary:

"The Observants look at time like they're watching a parade, one thing after another passing by in sequence right in front of them. I see the parade from above, all the twists and turns it might, or might not, take." Clockwork has never had any qualms about manipulating variables to ensure the best timeline, and he has been doing so far more regularly than Danny knows just from his encounter with Dark Danny.

It has been an incredible blessing to work with Valen and Naps over the past months. I adore both the fic and the co-artist's work. Guys (gender-neutral :D), collaborating with you has been one of the joys for me over the past weeks! You are all great and awesome! <3 <3 <3

Thank you! ^^

I found an old sticky note that I probably drew back in like… eighth grade and thought it was funny, so I redrew it as legend. (Sticky note + alt unshaded version under the cut)
