About the author and their books: (There is a portrait of me with anime blush lines, a happy yellow sun) My name is Rebecca E. Reyes and I am an author, artist, parent, and I have a great sense of humor, especially in regards to my autism in my mid 30's. This portrait doesn't set the tone in my books, but it does reflect me when I feel cute (2 years ago). Right now I have my acne from when I was 15... All four of my books in both my book series with descriptions. --- The Sarcophagus of Lamia The Sarcophagus of Lamia Book 1 has a blonde woman in a red velvet lined escape pod, with a silver implant in her hair. The Sarcophagus of Lamia Book 2: Soul Survivor, has a red power core (a glowing orb) surrounded by filigree. The series description is: Deep space cyberpunk thriller novelettes with beautiful adaptations of famous monsters in a bleak, caste ruled setting. We follow the skeleton crew of the lab ship, Magpie, as they hit hard times and brush with corporate oligarchies' law enforcement. They take odd jobs and survive gruesome encounters, but they do it together! --- Sigils Sigils of Malice's cover has a magical blue beetle walking on a machine powered by a sparking crystal. Sigils of Blight's cover is of a lantern with a blue fire in the jungle. The series description is: Science fantasy thriller novels within a gilded theocrasy, wearing 1910's pseudo-cyberpunk glitz. "Those are words." - My Husband Thalia Clayton, an uncouth crossdressing showgirl, without magic, tries to protect her family from powers above her head. Unfortunately, everyone she loves is mixed in with conspiracies. After many reluctant partnerships and tested loyalties, it's a good thing she knows many necromancers and priests. Getting out alive may not be an option.

The Mighty Grand Piton (2019), dir. Wesley Louis, The Line

An impressive short film made to look like the trailer for an even bigger project -- a project that's on the way, according to the studio

Art by Luigiix - cover of "Demon King Daughter Book 1: Raising the Demon King" by P.J.C. Cahill. This text appears in black, red-outlined text at the bottom of the image. - Top Left (Hideyoshi) is an aged human man with silver hair, a long beard and mustache, and stern features. Top Right is a demon man (Torlash) with long, black hair, tall, thin horns, red-in-black, slitted eyes, and pale gray skin. - Middle of the image shows seven characters. From left to right: 1) Kiseki: (woman) short black hair, pale skin, brown eyes. Wears a gray sweater and black cargo pants. 2) Hasava: tall woman in a black business suit, with a white shirt and black tie. Her skin is pale, her hair long, black, and straight, and her eyes blue. 3) Issei: tan skin, brown eyes, short, brown hair, and a scruffy beard. There's hints of graying in his hair. He wears a brown jacket, a pale T-shirt, and jeans. 4) Seina: teenage girl in a mostly-white Japanese boy's school uniform. She has mildly tan skin, brown eyes, but vibrant green, neck-length hair. 5) Nori: adult woman holding a young child. Nori has sky-blue, short hair, brown eyes, and is wearing a simple white T-shirt and blue pants. 6) Himari: A little girl in a blue dress and shirt, with the same sky-blue hair as Nori. She is laughing happily with her eyes closed. 7) Yuuto: man in a dark dress shirt and black slacks. He is stern and muscular, with sharp features, short, brown hair with signs of gray, and brown eyes. - Bottom, foreground of the image features a mother (Masuyo) and daughter (Kyoka) pair. Masuyo is holding Kyoka on her hip, and they're both smiling happily at each other. Masuyo has neck-length, black hair, a tan skin, brown eyes, and is wearing a black leather jacket over a white shirt, with black pants. Kyoka has very dark, brown skin, short, messy black hair, and vibrantly red eyes. She's wearing a black hoodie, baggy shorts, and puffy white socks sticking out of her simple sneakers.

I have a blessing and a curse. A humble brag, if you will.

I'm an author talented enough to do art for her own books and their ads. HOWEVER, no matter how simple I always try to make the doodle, I feel like I'm going to ruin my best scribbles by wasting them as ads.

I can only draw old grumpy men and pretty women. Nothing in between yet. Anyway, I used yellow and cyan to make a ghost when what was going to be a wing looked like an old man's nose.

I had no art of the aralez, so enjoy my 10 minute doodle.

The nicest antagonists ever are bribing my main character with a holy dog whose kisses heal the wounded!

Stop cooing! These are violent, adult oriented books! I just drew him quickly.🥺

Enchanted tools. Thalia isn't magical, but she has an enchanted camera and an enchanted whip she uses to solve problems regularly.

The bullwhip has an enchanted holy silver chord and cracker, giving it oomf, but it doesn't break physics like Indiana Jones, sadly.

Lilith Caldrane and Konrad Curze💜

Commissioned illustration I did for @/Death_Rattle on Vgen!

#illustration #art #commission #vgen #darkart #warhammer
Digital illustration set in a dim, arched library filled with books. At a table, Konrad (warhammer character) dressed in dark clothing and a red cloak leans forward with a stern, intense expression. Beside him sits Lilith (client's oc) in a flowing white dress, looking up thoughtfully while holding a pen, as if in discussion or instruction. However, between the conversation there’s a moment where their eyes meet and they catch themselves side looking at each other, a the moment of accidental admiration as they speak about something completely unrelated. On the table are an open book with handwritten notes, loose papers, a skull-shaped candle holder with a lit candle, and a tea set. Warm candlelight contrasts with the shadowy background, creating a dramatic, scholarly atmosphere.

This has nothing to do with my books, but I've downloaded a bunch of acrylic and impasto brushes in Krita and made an experiment piece by scribbling.

Anyway, I like them. Whatever they are...

I actually have many antagonists, and no main villain. I'm fact, saying who the biggest villain for book 1 would be a spoiler.

The first one we met is John Clayton, Thalia's uncle and ringmaster to the circus. We meet him when Thalia stops an escaped arcanafauna from...

Everyone I meet IRL just assumes that I have a Facebook.

"Go look on Facebook Marketplace!"

"Share it on (page name)!"

"I tried to find you on Facebook."

I haven't had a Facebook in years and people here are confused when I say politely, I can't do something because I don't want a Facebook.
