Super excited to be able to share the @wraithmarked.bsky.social edition of Dracula! This one is special. 🥰
I co-lead art direction, did the interior layout, worked with one of my favorite artists @vvilczy.bsky.social, and designed the bookmark for the project!

Today is day 4 of Tolktober - and the theme is: wings.

If you don't know what's all that about yet, it's kinda like #inktober but better, because it's focusing on Tolkien.

Thanks Kaelyn! Definitely much more lighthearted now, also because of the cartoonish movement. But slowly forward.

Do I burn through ink quicker than I do through coffee? Sure.
Does it take ages to manage? Naturally.

But I didn't expect that being able to handle the whole process myself would feel so good.

NAZGÛL

Illustrated postage stamp from Middle Earth. Image is of the Witch King of Angmar astride his fell beast. with some of his friends as silhouettes amongst the clouds. Colours are overlapping teal and orange with a yellow soft light adjustment layer. Lord of the Rings. Ive ben workshopping a joke about "looking for a Nazgûl to settle down with" for a while but haven't quite nailed it yet.
