Biteghost🔪 MURDER CLUB OUT 10/30!! @biteghost.bsky.social · 1d
MURDER CLUB LAUNCHES IN 3 WEEKS! We're getting ready...

"Fresh out of retirement, veteran assassin Holly needs to get back in the game - and country boy Bartholomew, who has never touched a weapon in his life, needs a job. Can they make it in the industry of killing for sport?"

#murderclub 💀🎨 🔪💸
A digital illustration of two masked characters in the middle of a photoshoot. Bartholomew, looking mildly unaware of what is happening, stands behind Holly, who is coolly posed on the floor, looking directly into the camera like a professional. The series logo "Murder Club" is behind the both of them as part of the white photo backdrop.

Damned to love once
Digital painting of two women walking past each other without looking at one another. Behind them is a statue of a girl with closed eyes covered by sweeping veils of fabric. The scene is lit by the glow of a cold red sky seen through a broken window.

I definitely did consider this too! But buying new machinery just isn't in the cards for me right now just to draw as (mostly) a hobby so I want to use what I've already got! I think also I just needed to get away from the 'perfectionism' that comes with having so many digital tools in reach

I literally just posted them so I didn't wanna just Do It Again but then I realized who give a shit. BEHOLD THEM SOME MORE 🫵🏻🫵🏻🫵🏻
A pink-tinted black and white drawing of Emerald and Percy, to commemorate their re-engagement. They are embracing each other while Emerald leans back, and both look overjoyed. A black and white drawing of Emerald and Percy. Emerald has an arm draped over Percy's shoulder and is smooching his cheek; Percy is covered in red cartoon kiss marks and is letting it happen. A greyscale drawing of Emerald and Percy. Both of them are dressed fancily, like they're going to a gala; Percy is kissing Emerald's hand while Emerald watches shyly. A greyscale drawing of Emerald and Percy, styled like a fake anime screenshot. Percy is hunched over and clutching an unconscious and bloody Emerald, staring at the camera while his dawn caste mark burns over his forehead. Around them, spectral hands from Percy's anima banner come in as if to cradle Emerald.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Wrote this on the board at work. Hopefully it's effective.
Little white board that says, "Ooh, you wanr physical media so bad -- ooh you don't want media literacy and reading comprehension to wither & die." Under it is a crudely drawn hypnotic circle. To the left is a drawn cat with glasses sitting on a stack of books and to the right is an alien saying "even aliens read".

Hi everyone!

I launched my Kickstarter campaign for A Great & Terrible today. I’m super excited (also terrified).

If you enjoy the #wizardofoz or frankly anything fantasy/adventure this might be for you! I hope you’ll back it, or give it a share.
