I really wish getting to London was easier/cheaper because I'm desperate to see One Battle After Another in VistaVision and I know I'm just not going to be able to make it happen

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 8: WIZARD

"His distended body bulges with swallowed starlight. He has not spoken in over a year. When he opens his mouth it is blinding. He could leave if he wanted to. He doesn’t want to."

Words by me. Art by @nohr.se

WIZARD
Album: Troye Sivan - Something To Give Each Other (2023)

MELVUNG THE STARVED has been bound to the monolith for three years. The runes carved into the stone mirror the scars he carved into his own flesh in younger, more lucid days.

Every night the stars fall. He catches them in his mouth, swallows them, lets them burn channels through his organs. Each contains a fragment of something vast that would force its way into the world. Each one he consumes is one less breach in the fragile flesh of reality.

His distended body bulges with swallowed starlight. He has not spoken in over a year. When he opens his mouth it is blinding.

He could leave if he wanted to. He doesn’t want to.

If freed against his will he screams silently, and the stars begin to fall faster.

MELVUNG THE STARVED
HP 14 No Armour
Defence DR 16 (reality bends around him)
Cannot attack while his hands are bound.
Once per day: Vomit starlight in a 20’ cone (ignores armour, d10 damage, Test Presence DR14 or become obsessed with the voices behind the falling stars)

Art shows an illustration of a wizard bound to a monolith as stars fall around him.

We may have met at uni but we got talking properly when she slipped into my DMs after I posted Venice Bitch to my insta story.

Thanks, Lana

Loads of stuff, including my career and it being in large part responsible for my relationship as well

This was a fun one because it's one of the ones where Johan drew something before I wrote anything and I got to go, "okay, what the fuck is this thing?" #mörktober

THE SHARD

Given that #mörktober marks the 5th serialised adventure I've written, I thought it might be time to write something about how I approach working on these things.

So here that is.

It's spooky season (it is always spooky season in my heart). And here is some of my spooky arts in a thread.

Traditional media plus digital colour. Lots of scanned in charcoal, acrylic paint, pastels, oil pastels and pencils.

First up, FRANKENSTEIN from Universal Monsters, I did a film poster set

Google Sheets constantly telling me "This app needs to be updated" and not allowing me to do anything when I'm accessing it via an actual browser on my PC is wild

I need a Zettlr spreadsheet extension yesterday
