✨Hello! Lark here. Desert-dwelling writer, editor, and illustrator. I strive to make art that tells stories, and love character-driven work.

🥀ghost pipe: herbaceous, parasitic, non-photosynthesizing, perennial flowering plant. its flower bows to face the earth which gives it life.
several characters stand in a kitchen rendered in a lineless, painterly style. a bright, fiery oven lights the room. a fairy with an axe is being flung across the room by a set of enchanted cellar doors. their three friends, backs to the viewer, are shocked and confused by what is happening. dutch angle composition in one-point perspective of a hallway filled with undead vampire spawn with glowing green eyes. a man with a long white braid leaps over them, running along the wall toward a broken window. a storm rages outside. a woman with long ears and hair the color of autumn leaves stands pensively with her arms crossed in a softly-lit room that appears to have been carved out of a tree. a roll-top desk sits off to the side and she stands on a circular rug. behind her is a spiral staircase leading up toward a dark space. a single circular window shows the silhouettes of gnarled trees outside. vines wrap around the room. four characters appear to be doing work in a study or library. a black/arabic man in the foreground is shelving books on a shelf the viewer cannot see. a korean man sits on a table next to a stack of books looking down at a younger, brown-skinned man who appears to have fallen asleep at the foot of the table. a young chinese woman with a braid walks through the center of the room with a stack of books, appearing to say something to the others in the room. the atmosphere is warm and calm.

Recent commission for Robin on VGen of their characters Honeyberry and Holm!

#ocsky #commission
A feathered dragon with house-sparrow-like coloration, some blue feathers, and some feathers tipped with pink and violet dips a claw into a bowl of ink. His friend, a small purple gryphon with pastel rainbow-tipped ears, hair, and tail looks over the dragon's most recent sketch. They sit together in a room with maps and sketches covering the walls, and a basket of rolled-up paper in the corner. The scene is warm and personal.

Recent commission for @petuniabubbles.bsky.social of her character, Luma <3
An imp character with periwinkle, purple, and white fur looks happily over her shoulder while carrying a basket of fruit. Her purple bat-like wings are outstretched and her tail swishes behind her. It is sunset, and in the background parts of a village made of buildings and platforms built up in tall, old trees connected by bridges can be seen.

Character art for the first arc of our Curse of Strahd game :3

#ttrpg #ocsky
An older man in repeatedly patched, bloodied clothes holding a walking stick in one hand and tipping his hat with the other. He has a long white braid, heterochromia (orange and blue eyes), and three jagged claw scars on his face. Figure stands against a blue background. A happy figure with brown skin, violet eyes, and a straw hat waves at someone off-screen. They wear muddy overalls with plants tucked in the front pocket and carry a satchel filled with maps. They are barefoot, and plants appear to grow where they step. Bumblebees follow them. They are drawn against a gold background. A young woman with a back braid, red-violet skin, and small purple horns plays a violin. She is dressed in dark clothing that hides her form. She is drawn against a purple background. A brown-skinned man with short, white, styled hair and gold eyes holds his arm out for a purple owl patterned with stars and constellations to land on. He wears rich suit-clothes in dark colors, a dark trench coat with geometric patterns, and has a spellbook strapped to his thigh. He is drawn against a purple background.

ring-ring! Hello?

#murderclub 💀🎨 🔪💸
(read my comic: www.webtoons.com/en/action/mu...)
A digital sketch of Holly Mountainside from the webcomic "Murder Club". She is crouched, balancing on the balls of her feet while holding a phone to her ear and resting her left arm on her knee. The left arm has a blade attached to her forearm, which protrudes from the sleeve of her Letterman jacket. She's covered in blood as if she has just finished an assassination. A speech bubble comes from the cell phone, showing a simplified version of her partner Bartholomew Greaves's mask. He's calling to check in, looking happy as can be. The sketch is in black-and-white, with the only other color being a red for the blood and Bartholomew's mask.

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

"What if another author has the same idea as you? Don't you worry about it?"

Nope! Hell, knowing me, I will absolutely boost that author's book right alongside my own. Because there is no competition here, only community.

My AuDHD is like if a vampire and a werewolf had a kid, but the only powers the kid got were the ability to be killed by silver, crosses, and sunlight.

A dark-skinned woman with curly red hair leans against a large sleeping wolf with bandaged arms and torso under orange-tinted clouds in a field of tall yellow-orange grasses. The mood is peaceful.
