Death doodled this for me. Is it obvious we've been playing Elden Ring?
The protagonists of BEHOLD! the towering Barbarian Brodcrum and Naewoon his tiny gender ambiguous lover, drawn in the style of Radahn and Miquella from Elden Ring, Brodcrum with a sword in each hand, Naewoon clinging to his shoulders, both of them bathed in golden light.

Perhaps this pretty boy would stop getting mistaken for a girl if he stopped getting himself into damsel in distress situations that his enormous barbarian friend needs to save him from.

Not that he's complaining...
A distraught scholar clutches his dissertation to his chest, preparing to burn it as sacrifice to the God of Knowledge as a disinterested priest, his incantation complete, turns away from the pyre. Sheltering behind a boulder, a diminutive scholar belatedly realizes he’s not in shelter at all, for a shadow has fallen on him, saliva dripping down from the jaws of an enormous monster with a head like a flower made of teeth.

💀⚔️❤️These two❤️⚔️💀
A dour Barbarian, bloody from blade to shoulder, leads a horse bearing a diminutive scholar who's completely absorbed writing in his notebook. A Barbarian puts his muscular arm around his diminutive companion, who leans against his shoulder as they stargaze, a mythic scene of a hero fighting a dragon playing out in the constellations.

Out of a stacked cast of bloodsplattered barbarians, it's the tiny nerd who has the longest hair. Least metal member of the adventuring party, but he'll catch up.

We're a queer author-artist duo making BEHOLD! a sword & sorcery adventure serial. Just finished Survivors, an alternate perspective novelette for our Subscribestar patrons, and everyone's getting a new chapter tomorrow!

An undead prince in upsettingly sexy funeral robes steps out of the darkness, an elegant black sword held casually in one hand. A Barbarian puts his muscular arm around his diminutive companion, who leans against his shoulder as they stargaze, a mythic scene of a hero fighting a dragon playing out in the constellations. A Barbarian peeks out from behind a boulder as his much smaller companion peeks out from around him, both of them staring at an enormous dead bug with mandibles the size of sabers. A rowdy tavern full of Barbarian warriors and their girlfriends looks on as a bearded man in a kilt jumps up on a table to raise a toast.

An undead prince in upsettingly sexy funeral robes steps out of the darkness, an elegant black sword held casually in one hand. Behind a sign reading, "Designated Dueling Ground," a pair of muscular, furious, and mostly naked warriors square off as their two "friends," watch, one of them confident, the other frightened. A distraught scholar clutches his dissertation to his chest, preparing to burn it as sacrifice to the God of Knowledge as a disinterested priest, his incantation complete, turns away from the pyre. Illuminated by the light of the full moon, two muscular warriors ride on the back of a moving bus, one of them showing off by standing up, looking back to see if his friend is impressed--she is, *reluctantly.*

Our oldschool TTRPG-style black & white illustrations have been getting tons of love, but our full-color cover painting doesn't seem to grab the same attention. Funny because it took as much time and effort as like 4 or 5 of the black & whites.
Cover painting for BEHOLD! written by Rune and illustrated by Death McHandsome. A muscular Barbarian with a sword hero-poses above the body of a slain bone monster while an ambiguously gendered person in a dress clings to his leg. Both are oblivious to what their two friends are shouting at them about: the much larger and more dangerous undead dragon flying toward them from behind.

Brodcrum: can kill anything except the Spirits (read: self-doubt) especially when they make him think nice things about his Nemesis (read: ex.)

Naewoon: nerd. Preference for wearing dresses signifies nothing, obviously. Studies Barbarians cause he's way too tiny & civilized to be one, right?

Invoking the God of Knowledge requires submitting your dissertation through sacrificial pyre.

Alt texting isn't just the right thing to do, it's a life hack
- Change your settings to require alt text
- Select pic before you type anything
- Save alt text for last
- You are now immune to accidentally posting half-written skeets

Also it gives you extra room to say funny things about skeletons.
