🌹Fairytale Wedding🌹
I had the pleasure of drawing these illustrations for @araneaserket.bsky.social & @rfawks.bsky.social's wedding invites.
A fairytale-esque illustration of Callie & Rae in fantasy-medieval clothes. Rae, a butch lesbian on the left is in a red and mauve princely tunic and cape and bycocket hat. Callie on the left is in a pink gown with a blue starry belt and a red hennin -the veil of which whirls around the couple. Behind them is a blue sky & foliage, with various flowers in front. The border is a gold frame containing pink roses on spiralling vines on a blue background. A page showing a variety of spot illustrations: A corner piece of roses on twisting vines; a rapier with a banner of hearts wrapped around it; a blossom tree branch with a pair of doves, and three square initials entwined in floral vines: C, R and intertwined C & R.

I was so stoked to draw Myrel…White is one of my favorite colors to play in but when I learned more about Myrel I felt an instant connection to them and their design! Much love for this ENBY icon 😭💞 So thank you so much to my AD Jacob for trusting me with them! ❤️‍🔥

Cover Process for Cemetery Kids Run Rabid #3, OUT NOW from @oni-press.bsky.social ! The case of a layout that was still a bit half-baked when I sent it in with the other options. Once the team decided on it, I knew I had to take another pass at the whole thing in the pencils.

#objectober 12: Lamp
there are so many specific kinds of lamp people have made, I've had a lovely evening looking at them.
pencil drawings of two lamps - one is a humanoid shaped candleholder, with the candle in a bowl held in the figure's arms. dribbles of wax have run over the edge of the bowl and down the arms and dress of the figure. her face is obscured by a buildup of soot from the flame. The other lamp is a clay vessel shaped a bit like a pig with a gaping mouth and several holes for eyes. 23. Votive candleholder from the crypt of Phlegistones the Undying. Toward the end of his reign, it is said that Phlegistones developed a great fear of the dark, and a beleif that if he remained always in well-lit spaces, that death could not reach him, as death only lived in the shadows. His tomb was filled with over 4,000 lanterns and candles, and sooty remains suggest that they were all lit when he was interred. of course, once sealed the tomb had poor ventilation, and the flames would quickly have been extinguished. Look at the soot covering the candleholder’s face. The candle would have burned so close to her eyes. Have you ever stared into a flame, and felt it draw you in? 24. Oil lamp in the shape of a beast, from the excavations at Mord Lake. Little is known about the people who made this lamp. It is designed to have its hollow body filled with oil, and a wick of twisted cloth or reeds poke out of the mouth and lit, so that it appeared to have a tongue of fire. This fearsome lantern guarded the single burial chamber unearthed at Mord, an otherwise simple and unmarked burrow with scarcely room for the body interred within. No other traces of the people of Mord have been found at this point. Count the beast’s eyes. What was it watching for, do you think? Do you sleep with a light on? Does anything watch over you?

SWALLOWTAIL.
Page 1 of the comic "Swallowtail" by E. M. Fields. The first panel shows a vista from atop a high tower overlooking the surface of the Omegadungeon - a vast labyrinth world cloaked in permanent eclipse. A Drakencult soldier in rad draconic armor rushes to the balcony and points and shouts - "It's Swallowtail!" The titular thief, dressed in dark blue leather and with their iconic swallowtail cape, leaps from the parapet. They glance back at the pursuing soldiers, showing the snarling bronze demon mask covering the lower half of their face. The next six panels show a montage of the drakencult soldiers readying crossbows and firing at the fleeing, free-falling Swallowtail! Swallowtail falls towards a long red banner hanging from a neighboring tower, grabbing it at the last moment and swinging away from the hail of crossbow bolts. In the final panel they are running away, clutching a skeletal urn with gold coins spilling out of it as they make their escape... The second, final page of the Swallowtail comic by E. M. Fields. Swallowtail runs down the spiral steps of the tower, drakencult hot on their heels. A hug, brutish drakencult soldier with a two-handed bardiche ambushes them from around the curve of the stairs, tackling them both off the edge as they land in a heap below. Struggling over the bardiche and Swallowtail's dagger, the soldier reaches towards them menacingly - "Now we'll see what's REALLY under that mask!" With his hand grasping the metal maw, Swallowtail barks back - "IT'S NOT A MASK." As the jaws of the 'mask' come to life and clamp down on the soldier's hand... The final panel is Swallowtail running towards the reader, urn and gold in one hand and dagger in the other, swallowtail cape streaming behind them, and the soldier's bloody hand gripped in their metal teeth.

#Objectober 9: Weight! just some big beefy guys.
pencil drawings of two statues holding funerary vessels - a minotaur with a coffin lashed to its back, and a kappa-like demon grasping a large urn on its back. 17. Two of the more striking examples of grave guardians as statuary figures which physically incorporate the vessel in which the deceased is interred. This figure from the labyrinth-tomb of Emperor Gnialogous V11 holds the remains of one of the emperor’s highest-ranking generals. damage to the sarcophagous suggests it slipped from the back of the statue several times, before being secured with the cords that hold it. accounts from the time suggest this may be because the sculptors building the statue did not know exactly who would be inside the sarcophagus, as the emperor’s favourites changed so rapidly, and so could not account for the weight or size of the body. Conversely, guardians such as this cask-demon from the Lower Red Delta were often mass-produced, designed to fit the large cinerary urns used as standard to store the cremated remains of the deceased. The designs of these demons gained progressively longer legs as flooding in the delta increased, and sculptors tried to ensure the remains would be kept above the water. Look at the stick the minotaur holds. It is made of stone, but someone gave it a stick to lean on. Look at how the demon strains to keep its head above the water level. Can you see the tide-marls on its legs? Do the rocks need our help? pencil sketch of a stone sarcophagus. the sides are carved with skull and talon designs. the lid is carved to look lik a sleeping figure, with a bird-headed goblin crouched on top of them, its talons pressed to their head. 18. Little is known about this unusual sarcophagus, which is beleived to originate from somewhere in the Argish Islands. Analysis of the remains inside suggest the occupant may have been alive when interred, and a collection of iron pendants and coins placed around the body may have had ritual significance, perhaps to denote a person of religious importance, as this is obviously a richly detailed burial vesesl. At some point the face of the sleeping figure carved into the sarcophagus lid has been destroyed, roughly carved away with a chisel or similar implement, and though we do not know why this was done, it is notable that the figure crouched atop the “sleeper” has been left untouched. Look at the worn stone of the sarcophagus. it has been carved to look like a soft bed for the figure to lie on. Look how the figure’s flesh has also been carved to look soft, and bend under the weight of the creature that crouches on top of them. Look at the creature’s talons, how they curve so close to where the sleeper’s face would have been. Is it soft, the place where you sleep? Are there ever talons, or chisels there?

#Objectober 6: Sharp
back on my bullshit thinking about weapons
pencil drawings of four fictional artefacts. three are wooden stakes with creatures carved into the tops: a curvy humanoid figure, a stag's head, and a crouching ape. the other is a statue of a warrior with a bestial face and a crest on its head, and a humanoid body, missing one arm. the other arm holds a pitchfork. 11. Grave markers from the Blandish Communities of the Blue-grey Era. The Blandish Communities faced rampant predation by vampires, ghouls and other undead, and in response started to adopt the traditional grave markers to a dual purpose. The hand-carved protector spirit would still mark the grave and protect it, whilst the long stake that the protector perches upon would penetrate into the grave and pin the body to the earth, preventing them from arising to prey on the living, without outwardly marking them as undead. Look at the way the wood has been carved at each end; to a sharp point, and to a complex, detailed figure. Do you think the same tools were used for both tasks? Look at the staining on the end of the stakes. 12. This grave guardian from the Mud Necropolis of Ospra was likely stolen from a much wealthier tomb - the city had a flourishing black market in stolen gravestones, shrines and other accoutrement of mourning. As it was strictly forbidden for anyone but a noble to possess a weapon, the guardian’s weapon has been replaced with a farming tool, and thus it could be set to protect a commoner’s grave without their family worrying about being punished. The statue is missing an arm. What do you think it was holding in its lost hand? Does your hand remember holding something that is lost to you?
