I can finally share the piece I did of Brides of High Hill by @nghivo.bsky.social ! It was such a treat and an honor to be included in this year's @ofszine.bsky.social next to such talented artists 💛
an illustration of cleric chih and pham nhung exploring the estate late at night. above and behind them, buildings loom ominously, all topped by writhing beast sculptures except the one directly behind them. the building directly behind them is lit from within, fox spirits visible through the windows. Chih is holding a lantern looking down at pham nhung and she is looking up behind chih towards the roof beast. in the foreground, glowing carp swim towards them.

just finished Mouthful of Dust (which was horrifying and fabulous) and realized I forgot to post the stickers I made for @nghivo.bsky.social a couple months ago of Cleric Chih and Jordan Baker!
a chibi of cleric Chih and almost brilliant from the singing hills cycle on a dark blue background. chih is a light brown skinned Chinese person wearing indigo monks robes, holding a calligraphy brush and some bound texts. almost brilliant is a hoopoe bird that is perched contently on chih's head. chih looks at the viewer with an expression of warm curiosity a chibi of jordan baker from the chosen and the beautiful on a sparkling pale green background. jordan is a thin, light-skinned vietnamese american woman wearing a flapper style dress with a soft pink geometrical pattern. in one hand, she has a glass of demoniac. around the other hand, pieces of paper swirl in the air. she is looking at the viewer with an eyebrow raised in challenge or perhaps flirtation.

absolutely ADORED this book by the brilliant @mishiiarts.bsky.social , so here, have a fan cover
fan cover illustration of Forget Me Knot. Two figures are facing back to back and upside down from each other, a red string swirling around and between them. In the center, the red string swirls into text that reads "Forget Me Knot." Both are wearing Heian-era attire. The bottom figure is wearing more working class attire and holds a cosmo flower in one hand, a petal flying away. He looks sadly towards the other figure. Behind him is the outline of a mountainscape. The top figure is wearing more upper class attire, the red string that swirls around the drawing gripped tightly in one hand. He is smiling, somewhat meanly. Behind him is the outline of a building. Autumn yellow ginko leaves dance around them. The author's name "Emery Lee" is visible on the bottom. A full cover version of the previous image. This version includes a spine and a back cover with a ginko tree spilling autumn yellow leaves across the page, a swirling red string, and text that reads "Souls are cheap. Hearts are worth much more." A textless version of the illustration

and finally, a sneak peek of the scene I'm SO EXCITED to be illustrating for @ofszine.bsky.social from Brides of Hill by @nghivo.bsky.social
A snippet of a black and white illustration of Cleric Chih and Pham Nhung outside at night. Chih is holding a lantern in one hand and cradling a calico teapot in the other, looking down at Pham Nhung concernedly. Pham Nhung reaches slightly towards them, looking above and behind Chih's head. Behind them, the shadows of foxes block out part of the windows' glow.

treated myself to some Narcissist Cookbook fanart, this is an excerpt from BUTTERFLIES IN A COLLECTOR'S CABINET on MYTH
An illustration of a foggy emerald forest with a boy holding a rope tied around a ram skull. the boy is looking up at an odd little bird on a branch. Text overlay reads "I've always wondered what it would feel like to be a ghost," said the boy. "Can I tell you a secret?" said the forest. "I've always wondered what it would feel like to be haunted."
