Local man still not having fun after being kidnapped by vampire.
#30Days30Lines
A screenshot of a Microsoft Word document containing an excerpt of a story. The text reads: “Don’t,” the human said, eyes showing white all around. Renato did. Like a hooded hawk, once the blindfold was strapped into place and locked the fight drained out of his guest. His hands slid off of Renato’s forearms to curl protectively against his own chest.

Finally finished the latest pocket field guide for Patreon. This time it's on bloodborn feeding, fact vs. fiction.
#fantasy
A screenshot of a page from a trifold brochure. There's a gradient blue to magenta background, with a city silhouette and stylized sun or moon at the bottom. Neon images of an eye, cartoon bats in front of a moon, and hands clasped in prayer decorate the top, right above a paragraph of text. It reads: As always, the first step to understanding the supernatural is identifying what are facts and what are elements of folklore entangled in the popular imagination. In other words: separating romance from reality. The words "separating romance from reality" are done in a futuristic font. "Romance" is inside a pink arrow made of neon light pointing left. "Reality" is inside an arrow of yellow neon light pointing right.

Better late than never, I guess. Just going to post four lines to catch up on #30Days30Lines and, er, throw in an extra as a late fee?

Anyway, Renato showing us how *not* to treat someone you took back to your place for an evening.
A screenshot of a Microsoft Word document containing five lines from a vampire story. The text reads: The human kicked, slapped, clawed, and even attempted to bite rather than accept the inevitable. Because of course—nothing else had gone smoothly, why start then? Renato found small laughs huffing out of him while he wrestled, though. He’d fought stronger and better trained foes, of course, but it’d been a while since he’d faced one with half this much courage. Too bad it was wasted on the likes of Wes Mayer and his baying brood.

I really tried to channel my 17-year-old self here.

A hastily constructed mood board with an assortment of clashing stock photos. Starting in the top left corner and working right: 1) a pair of bloody hands emerging from a hole in a concrete wall; 2) a hooded, witchy figure standing in front of a cliff wall; 3) a glimpse of candles and the back half of a skull; 4) a broodingly handsome vampire man with dark hair and blue eyes; 5) buildings in an Old West type town in the U.S.; 6) a highway stretching into a distant sunset (a Ouija planchette is on top of this pic); 7) a great white shark; 8) a shadowy, creepy figure in some fog; 9) a gloomy, rocky coastline. End of the photos

The finished first page of the pocket field guide on werecreatures. Second page is available for Coven Agents and Lieutenants of the Unseen Hand. (Also finally figured out how to make working QR codes)
A page for a brochure about werecreatures. The background is a greenish starry sky with the constellation Canis Major and a quote from Jack London's novel Wild Fang. There's a QR code beneath a circle of phases of the moon with crossed axes in the center.

Solid advice
A cross stitch pattern of a goldfish. Text around it reads Be a Goldfish. The logo for the show Ted Lasso is at the bottom.

Working on another pocket field guide.
A page layout for a brochure style field guide about werecreatures. Line drawings of mountains and pine trees cover the bottom edge. In the middle is a circle of moon phases surrounding two crossed axes. The constellation of canis major is on the far left panel.
