i'm trying to romance someone other than astarion/halsin for once but gale is making it so hard
Gale: Anything I can do for you - consider it most enthusiastically done. Durge: I know the truth about myself at last. I'm a Bhaalspawn. Gale: A Bhaalspawn? Gosh.

what are ✨SKETCH COPIES✨? @morlevart.bsky.social is the multitalented artist who does all my covers and hand-draws each and every paperback one by one for you all 💕💕 the Etsy shop is closing soon, so go grab some while you still can!!
photo from above of VESSEL OF WOVEN NIGHT with an ink drawing of Cylvan peeking out from the inner title page, text reads “what are SKETCH COPIES”? Text overlaying full image of interior drawing; “originally started as a way to sell B-grade paperbacks, sketch copies are signed Rowan Blood paperbacks with original graphite and ink drawings on the title page, done by the cover artist M.E. Morgan” ; “every one drawn by hand and unique to its book” Text overlaying more examples of sketch copies, top left depicting Sionnach and Copper, bottom right depicting Saffron, text reads: “due to the bespoke nature of each one, as well as the time and energy that goes into each individual drawing, their availability is limited with each shop update,” ; “but we always try to offer as many as we can, based on M.E.'s availability!” Upper right depicts Sionnach, bottom right Saffron, text reads: “currently, we've only offered sketch copies on Rowan Blood books-“ ; “but as my backlist has grown, lately we're considering opening up to my standalones as well!”
