Remember how I said Beasts was on moratorium…

It’s not anymore 😈

Everyone get ready for me to be unhinged about my terrible little cannibals 24/7

[Art by the amazing @warickaart.bsky.social]
Mads in a pink bandanna that covers their dark hair and green tee shirt poses with both their hands cupping their chin. They have a full arm sleeve of florals and pagan imagery on their left arm. Their glasses are oversized and give the impression of bat or butterfly wings. They are posing behind purple salvia flowers gazing at a bumble bee perched on one of the flowers gathering pollen. There is a look of utter delight on their face as they look at the pollinator. In the far background, a restaurant patio can be seen with various tables, chairs, and patio umbrellas around. Two figured are centered in the illustration. The one on the left (Dante) has long, dark hair that falls below his chest and a neutral — albeit self-satisfied — expression. There is a smudge of blood on his otherwise pale cheek. He is wearing a bloody white button up and dark slacks. One hand is wrapped around the shoulder of the figure to the right (Virgil), holding them in place against their will. The other holds some bit of bloody viscera that he has pulled from Virgil’s abdomen. There is still a line of blood and veins connecting the gory mass back to its owner. Virgil’s face is marred from the viewer’s gaze. It is as if the canvas has been ripped away to see some bloody flesh beneath. They are wearing a worn, dirty,, hokey dark green sweater over a grey plaid collared shirt. There is a look of defeat in the slump of their shoulders. Their hair is dark and curly, flowing past their collarbones in a way that implies they have been neglecting themselves for some time. They do not seem to react to Dante’s violence against their body. However, the torn canvas that obscures their face makes it difficult to gather much in the way of details about them. The pair are surrounded by a gilt gold frame that features motifs of Catholic religious imagery such as communion, rosaries, and angel wings.

I’ll start!

I’m working on a Prince & the Pauper x 3 Dark Crowns horror fantasy full of political intrigue and beastly characters. Truly just throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks on this one and having the time of my life doing it!
9 images in a square grid format. Image 1: woman in a dark orange dress holding a dagger at waist level. Her other hand is held aloft with fingers splayed. Her face is cutoff to give her an air of mystery. Image 2: a collection of 3 colorful wooden puppets hanging from their strings. One is yellow, one is red, and one is pale blue Image 3: a person in a plague doctor mask holding a ball of light in their hands. Their hands are raised to their face so they can look at the light. Image 4: the moon moving through the phases tinged red Image 5: two hands holding out a bloody sharp piece of glass. You can only see the fingers and part of the palm of the hands and the glass rests on the outstretched fingers. Image 6: a person in a wildflower crown looks out over the horizon as the sun sets. You can only see the top of their head to their eyes Image 7: 7 hands pulling and holding strings stretching in all directions. You cannot see who the hands belong to as further details are lost to shadow Image 8: a luna moth perched on some moss Image 9: a close up photo of a crashing wave during a storm

Shelving Beasts for a little bit. Every time I look at it I see problems I can’t figure out how to fix and I feel like I’m going to get to a point where I’m just trapped in a vicious revision loop.
Maybe she’ll be ready for fresh eyes in the winter.
A high contrast image of a dog’s open mouth with text overlaid. The text says “I have made of him a better demon, but even so, demons still have teeth that gnash and gnaw and rend. Even a reformed sinner still stumbles. And oh what a stumble he will make of me.”
