Presenting: the Beautiful Beasts imprint, a series of erotic horror, science fiction and fantasy novellas by author Joachim Heijndermans. Each a self contained story of lust with monsters ranging from the fantastical, the macabre and the eldritch.
Books 1, 2 and 3 are out now!
Art Man Carot
Beautiful Beasts logo, depicting of Venetian mask of an animal in a circle with two cursive Bs, colored black, white and red Cover to return the rose, the first Beautiful Beasts book. Colored in monochrome purple, a large beast with a lion-like face and stag antlers embraces a partially undressed woman with long flowing hair. She clutches onto his antlers, wistfully looking at her lover, the beast. Cover to Cove of the Fisherman's wife. Colored in monochrome blue, a Japanese woman looks upon the encroaching octopus arms. Her yukata is partially removed, as a lone tear runs down her cheek. Cover to Beautiful Beasts 3, The Nightstalker’s Mark, by Joahim Heijndermans. Two women coated in a red colored hue hold each other in embrace, looking at one another. One a short haired blind woman with a tank top. The other is a vampiric creature who is nude, her ears pointed and the pupils in her eyes are narrow slits like those of a serpent. Her open mouth reveals a set of fangs, her intent implied to be nefarious. The title of the book is colored with a yellow gradient, with the ‘M’ in Mark similar to a set of fangs. Small dots of Braille writing repeat the title, a reference to the one woman’s blindness.

Now I feel like a proper writer with working on 4 book projects at the same time:

-One prequel of my science fantasy saga Tempest Blades.

-One stand alone novel homage to my favorite tv show about immortals, with my own spin, taking place in a city of adventure in a post apocalyptic Mexico

I’ve been avoiding most socials lately tk focus of my grant renewal, book writing, day job and more importantly, my mental health that has been suffering due to the state of the world.

But JFC! What’s going on is straight out of a fucking dystopian movie. So much cruelty & murder out of pettiness.😞

I'm in. despite knowing who will portray Skeletor, this looks like a fit adaptation of He-man even including a very obscure bit of official lore that was only in the MOTUC classics figure line and cartoon.

Ironically and IIRC by the time the show takes place, Gigax had introduced Psionics (which imho fit better the power set of Will and El) in the supplement Eldritch Wizardry.

Now, since the show is clearly alternate history, maybe Sorcerers were introduced first in this timeline.

While watching the 5th season of Stranger Things I noticed this extremely nerdy anachronism: it refers to the Sorcerer class in DnD, but that class was added in 2000 and the show is set in 1987.

What other nerdy anachronisms are there? I'm thinking comic collections with issues that are too recent.

Happy #portfolioday! I'm Joachim Heijndermans, writer and artist who's getting back into the art game after some hiatus. I draw comics and illustrations, with some book covers on their way.
Artwork of a shy human man being embraced by a bat-like woman with two fingered hands and wings. The title read Midnight Snack, with the name Joachim Heijndermans and the BB Comics logo above it. Cover image to the empress in snow, also written in chinese, with a woman in ceremonial garb and makeup standing in a snowy place while a qilin stands behind her. Black and white drawing of Spider-gwen with her face partially exposed and a massive web behind her. Illustration of Rick and Morty in a cave, joined by Morty's sister Summer and Mr. Poopybutthole, swarmed by a large amount of monsters and creatures.

I’m wondering if these are a good tag line for my stand alone novel that’s evolving into something very peculiar:

“When reality is tied to the mind, magic is matter of perspective.”

“There are different kinds of immortals. Most want your blood or soul. Only him wants to protect them”.

Sometimes writing the start of a book is as difficult as writing the ending. The first chapter has to hook the reader right away as much as the ending one has to wrap things in a satisfactory manner.

I’m glad I finally came with a good idea to start my stand alone novel.

In the beginning, reality was made of myriad wave functions. This was the Dreaming
Then collapsed and came spirits, gods, humans, sentience. Not necessarily in that order. That’s the start of the Dusk.
Since reality is tied to the mind & spirit, then the existence of magic is matter of perspective.

I’m loving Final Fantasy XVI. I don’t care if I’m using the command help during combat (wouldn’t have survived my first encounter with Benedikta without it), to focus on the story.

Games are to be enjoyed, not suffered.

Also I’m thankful for no timed events like the collapsing house in FFVI.

Remember, regardless of what social networks say, two things can be true at the same time and some stories don’t have a “good guys vs bad guys” narrative. In some stories both sides can be bad and it’s the civil population who gets the short end of the stick.

Breaking news, The Galactic Empire “intervened” Ghorman to save them from *check notes* death sticks cartels and the evil mineral resources underneath their soil.

In other news, the Emperor’s Press Secretary claims this has nothing to do with the redacted Ameda Files.
