Little track I made a couple of months ago for my friend @sterliewrites.bsky.social and his world of Vagrants, of which I'm very fond of.
This is a totally harmless piece and it involves no evil sea women.

Also, and this might be a hot take, but please, and I say this very kindly, I think you should improve your work before thinking about selling it. Selling products is a whole different landscape and completely warps your work and mindset towards art
Don’t know who needs to hear this but stop quitting your job to do artist alley and conventions, there are no benefits or health insurance and it is so unpredictable and the competition is worse than trying to get into Harvard lol

Harold Ludicael is a failed mad scientist; think Henry Jekyll but his transformation (heavy on the trans) style was demonological in nature and then a wealthy industrialist patented it and made it everyone's problem
