BOOK COVER REDRAW of one of the most insane and gutwretching books ever written. (Art without text and full process on my insta!)

It was my first time designing a book cover and I have to say the process was painful. I started with a strong idea in mind: I wanted to portray Harrow at the exact moment she got her memories back. It had to be spectacular, dramatic, atrocious. There had to be skeletons, lots of skeletons, the castle of her House, and of course, Gideon's sword. Then came the hard part, colors. I changed the colors I think 4 times, just couldn't get them right, but in the end can say I'm quite happy with the result. During the whole process I kept looking at the original cover from @studiotommy.co (insta) trying to grasp even a small fragment of his tenique (ps. Posting this 2 days before a big tit announcement wasn't in my plans👀)

I hope I've done this book justice, because at the end, that's what it's all about.

Tw : If you are deadly afraid of Bugs please skip this post lol, mild canon Aburame body horror

Additional headcanons :

-it’s considered very rude or offensive to invade the body of another Aburame with your hive if they did not consent first (rule bypassed if it’s for health matters)

-The Aburame does not particularly need to hide their bodyparts, they do it in order to make other Konoha’s clan more comfortable, especially civilians. They also cover up on mission in order to hide their pierced tenketsus points

-Its possible for an Aburame’s hive to invade a non Aburame’s body but this will cause damage to the ninja’s chakras path and is very painful = equally considered rude.

-If an Aburame show his Tenketsus points to you it’s a very important proof of their trust in you.

-They can share their vision with their Kikaichus and hide their consciousness into their primitive mind in order to escape trauma/pain and can be unable to regain control over their own consciousness and body afterall.

-Due to their unusual biology a lot of social cues escape them, like why people can have problems with homosexuality or transidentity (which is basically normal bug/animal behavior).

-You can find a surprisingly high number of aroace Aburame in the clan, their vision of romantic and sexual relation ship being affected by the sheer number of bugs reproducing in their body.

-same with their vision of death, tho it’s still a major and important event for them.

-Aburame loves to hangout with the Yamanaka clan because flowers. They do like Yamato for the same reason and will respectfully ask help with their gardens to him

So excited to announce and soft launch my graphic novel I’ve been working on! The character of Neuro was originally invented for a TTRPG back in 2020 and has since been reincarnated into a separate narrative that I wanted to tell for quite some time. Animation work has kept it on the back burner, but I’ve been slowly chipping away at it! I’ll soon be launching a new Patreon dedicated to the project and will keep you all updated once that’s ready! I’m so excited! 🌱🤖
