My first Indie Ink Award season in which books I've made covers for are eligible for an award. 🥺 That's so special. If you're inclined to nominate these Nerezia installments for Best Cover (or other categories) that'd be neat! And please check out all the other amazing books you can nominate :3
clh2oars.bsky.social Claudie @clh2oars.bsky.social · 18d
You can nominate STORIES FROM THE DEEP, MOTES OF INSPIRATION, and RUINED HISTORY.

But mostly, here what I want is for @isthiseva.bsky.social 's gorgeous covers to get their chance.

Otherwise, MoI has a very cool setting and a whole escape room deeply tied to it!

(Links below!)
Nominate my books for the Indie Ink Awards – Nerezia 4 to 6. My main wishes are for these, especially Stories from the Deep, to get Best Cover. I would also think Motes of Inspiration could do well in Best Setting and Best Friendship despite being a sequel.

november's illustration!
#art #artsky #digitalart #illustration #cafedot
A digital illustration of a red-haired woman in a green dress kneeling next to a white-haired man hunched over himself as she drives a sword into his back. There are flames on the edge of her dress and in the foreground, while the man's hand is lightly over a dagger. In the background, backlighting the scene, are large stained glass windows.

Obligatory La Belle Dame Sans Merci study 😂
A study of the painting La Belle Dame Sans Merci, featuring a man in armour standing before a woman on horseback. They both have brown skin; the man has shoulder-length blonde hair while the woman has long and flowing black hair, atop which rests a flower crown. She's leaning over the saddle to smile down at him playfully, while he stares up at her with a devoted expression. The horse, which has a black coat and wears armour pieces that matches the man’s, is stamping a foot and staring at the ground. Painting of a man on horseback leaning down to kiss a shepherd, who is holding a lamb in their arms. There are two sheep in the foreground. In the background, an overjoyed sheepdog is bounding towards the shepherd and the traveller. The background is a yellow grassland with a forest and mountains in the far distance. The sky is bright blue with soft clouds. A low-angle close-up drawing of two people lying on the grass at twilight. The image is focused on the person at the back, who is gazing at the person in the foreground with an expression of adoration and dawning comprehension (he just figured out he's in love). The other character, whose face is slightly blurred due to the camera focus, has her eyes closed with a peaceful expression on her face. A portrait of Fitz and Beloved gazing into each other's eyes while touching tenderly. They are both painted in an ethereal way, bright and glowing and golden; the outlines of Fitz's form fade indistinctly into the dark background.

Not sure if I posted this Viktor painting on here. #Arcane
Drawing of Viktor from the Netflix series, Arcane. He is a disabled white man with brown hair. He has a metal brace on one leg and he has his crutch leaning against his shoulder. He is seated and staring at his feet, hands folded over his lap.

Promotional graphic featuring the Bite Sized, a comic by IsThisEva. The price of $5 is written inside a blood-drop shape. There are arrows arranged around the cover with a list of tropes, as follows: hurt/comfort, enemies to allies to lovers, NBi/m romance & established NBi/f pairing, banter, vampire vs. hunter, arguing and swordpoint, “what if I make it your problem?”

I rarely share this one but it's cute. I should do something like this again.

Annette is just like me fr.
Comic Part 1/4 - a group of witches is huddled around a teacher showing them how to collect mandrake. The teacher pulls one out, explaining that mandrakes scream and cry when you pull them for their comfortable soil bed, causing a student called Annette to react by saying "it's just like me for real." The teacher then tells Annette to stop relating to potion ingredients. Comic Part 2/4 - a group of witches is huddled around a teacher showing them how to collect mandrake.

Merlin and Morgana that I made for a zine about magical practices from around the world

#art
Merling and Morgana are doing some witchcraft in a mysterious forest. Morgana is doing so spell bending over a cauldron that stands on a stone altar. White smoke rises from it. Behind her, Merlin, wearing a white cloak, cuts mistletoe branches with a sickle.

It stops sorting your inbox into folders, btw, when you turn this off. As the inbox folders predate Gemini, this is a passive-aggressive attempt to make gmail a miserable experience unless you turn AI on, not a necessity.

Really, *really* inconvenient but makes me more determined to keep it off.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
