SIX OF CROWS X WHAT WAKES THE BELLS

After his sister is cursed by a vengeful goddess, a former pickpocket must steal a relic from the most powerful man in the city to save her. But he can’t pull it off alone, and not everyone in his ragtag crew can be trusted.

Left to right. Top row: A foggy city with a spire in the background. The hands of a clock approaching 12. Smoke from an explosive in a building. Middle row: A man in a waistcoat pointing at something. “Tick… Tock…” A man in a waistcoat sitting down. Bottom row: Silver coins covered in blood. A group of people standing inside a clock tower. Rain on a cobblestone street.

✨ qrp with some pieces from 2025 that you're really proud of! ✨

this year had many bangers but these two are my absolute favorites
"Regret" presents Beatrice, a character from the animated series Over the Garden Wall. Beatrice was cursed after throwing a rock at a bluebird: all her 12 relatives, as well as her, were transformed into bluebirds. The illustration shows us her transformation, looking in shock and crying as her right arm transforms into a bird's wing. She stands in front of a dark forest, the deep orange of autumn slowly being consumed by cyan and blue. Flying around her and into the forest we spot 12 bluebirds. The illustration also brings a foot frame, with four pumpkins and Enoch - another character, the ruler of Potsfield - in the center. toe-thrasher, a rat lord wearing a royal mantle made of white fur, thrashing in the middle of a swamp in its hind legs and holding a black flail. in the swamp, there are numerous yellow eyes

Twelve princesses 👑
At last, I have finished my drawing! Here it is: ink drawing featuring 12 princesses walking in side profile to the right. They are walking through an orchard that hangs with crystal pears and (were this in color) silver and gold branches. The princess at the front has a lantern. The princess at the back is looking startled over her shoulder.

self portrait of the artist seated at a kitchen table with her head resting on on the table and her arms hanging limp with exhaustion. Two goblins approach her curiously.

Your monthly reminder:

Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

🌊The Angler's Bride🌊

My heart is a sunken altar. There, I thrive. There, I keep a ledger of bones. The deep remembers what the surface forgets.
A sea siren sits above a pile of bones with schools of fish, bones, and a giant angler fish around her.

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤

#art #painting #portrait #illustration
“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

digital art, a satyr like figure with some exposed bones and a skeletal tail wearing a colorful skirt made of fabric strips with two big red braids. The figure's hair seems to be made of fabric, is teal and has the same colorful strips incorporated into it.

A more modern #dnd commission this time, Felicity :D
Painterly bust portrait of a pale woman in her thirties, arms crossed and expression fierce as she looks to the viewer. She has blue-black hair cut in a shoulder-length bob. She wears a leather jacket over a tank top and has deep red lipstick. The scene is dark, lit by a cool overhead light with a fainter orange glow off in the background.

“And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on.” 🖤

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a gorgeous piece of cinema like Guillermo’s Frankenstein 🖤

A drawing of a man standing with his hands clasped in front of him. He wears a neatly tailored jacket with diamond motifs in black and grey, and his face is obscured by a silver mask with serene face and a thorny crown. The drawing shows both the front and back of the design.
