One woman incarcerated for a horrific crime, another waiting patiently for her release. The only thing that has kept them both going is their letters and dark desires. But how well can you really know someone through words alone?

Absolutely amazing review on goodreads for She-Wolf!!

Its available on NetGalley for Arc readers to review until the end of the month!
www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Goodreads review saying:
Outstanding!

Beowulf was so well done. She had clear motivations of the type of person she wanted to be. How she wanted to protect her people. When it's clear she will become Queen, seeing her agonise over a certain decision was something else. No matter what decision she made she would be going against her own morals and dishonouring herself. Unless... 😏

And the ending had me in tears despite knowing what was coming 😭

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏

I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

Illustration of Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein. Molly is sitting and smiling at some shiny moths that are playfully surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of Caduceus Clasy from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein.
Caduceus is sitting with a serene expression, playing with some golden butterflies surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of a blue-skinned character with asymmetrical horns, reminiscent of a half moon. The character is casting a pearlescent, bright spell. They're in a room at night, standing on a decorated pedestal on the floor, in front of shelves full of books.

Illustration of a knight and a pegasus, behind them a blue sky with golden sunset clouds.
The knight is wearing shining, ceremonial armour in silver, blue and gold. In one hand he holds his helmet, the other hand is stroking the nose of the pegasus. The knight’s head rests delicately on the horse’s, in a gesture of delicate friendship. The pegasus is raising one of his wings to hug the knight in return of the gesture.

Even though we'd already met Nicola in previous books, can we all agree this was one hell of an entrance!?🔥 The stride. The stabbing of the heels.🫠 We would probably stiffen too, but for a very different reason to Charlotte & Daniel.😉

Someone who's followed me on Instagram for 2.5 years didn't know I'd done a full tarot deck even though they followed me when I started drawing the cards.

As a Nonbinary Autistic Immigrant, I agree with all of the below

Dragoncrown Games @dragoncrowngames.bsky.social · 17d

Trans rights are human rights.

Autism rights are human rights.

Immigrant rights are human rights.

EVERYONE'S rights matter.

Pretending minorities deserve less because "they're not like most (read, white+cis) people" is tantamount to civic genocide.

“Content” is a corpo-brain term, makes me cringe when I hear it in the wild.

You don’t make “content”, you make ART! You write STORIES. Its your WORK (and often play too)!

“Content” is the noise you flick through when trying to find a SHOW you like, don’t cheapen your work comparing it to SLOP. 😤

cypii 🪤 @cypjj.bsky.social · 25d

"Content" is a blatantly misleading term to use for fanworks. Fanworks are the antithesis of content; content is produced for individual gain and consuming, whereas fanworks are created out of inspiration and the communal experience.

AARD @obviouslyaard.bsky.social · 27d

start using "fanworks" again instead of "content" let's go people

It's my birthday! 🍰
May I ask for art shares on this fine day 💜✨

As a bonus, I've been wondering, is there any particular character or theme you'd like to see me draw in the future? If so, let me know!

#art | #hades | #baldursgate3 | #dragonage

a digital illustration of Zagreus and Chaos from Hades (Game). Zagreus is floating above Chaos' outstretched hand in the middle of ruins. He's reaching one hand up towards a boon symbol of Chaos. Chaos' face looms big in the background. The entire picture is accentuated with purple details

Tarot card illustration of Zethino, a dryad from Baldur's Gate 3, representing the Ace of Cups card. Zethino is standing in a lake, holding a cup with 5 streams of water falling out of it, she's facing forward, eyes closed, reminiscing, she's surrounded by water lillies, a tree behind to the left and a waterfall behind her. A stylized white dove is directly above the chalice. The atmosphere is calm, serene, introspective. Zethino has red hair nicely parted in the middle, a big headpiece with leaves and antlers, pale green skin with glowing vines and her outfit is a dress made out of leaves and vines.

A study of J. C. Leyendecker's "Man and Woman Dancing" featuring Chiara and Lucanis. Chiara has her back turned to us, her expression is sultry, a small smirk escaping her lips. She's wearing a light blue silky dress with sheer sleeves falling over her shoulders, pearl necklace and silver bracelets and (engagement??) ring. Her hair is blue, held in an updo. Lucanis is wearing a traditional black tuxedo that is fully blended with the black background, one hand on the small of her back, the other in front. They are dancing.

Portrait of Nyx from Hades (Supergiant Games) Portrait of a regal looking pale woman, her waist-length hair is elaborately fashioned with a braid on either side and a high bun held up in part by a golden crown. Her hair also flares to either side in the shape of a pair of bird-like wings, and the stars of the night sky can be seen on the undersides of these "wings." She is wearing robes with crescent moon shaped pauldrons. Her chest, forehead and earrings are decorated with tear shaped gemstones. There's 3 skill shapes on her chest, the middle one is holding the mentioned tear shaped gem. Her eyes are closed, her expression calm. The illustration is in black and white with purple and gold accents.
