Perfect for character sketch sheets, ship art and what not. I will generally require a character reference + activity that you want them to be doing. DM me if you want to get one or if you have any questions.

Belated Christmas gift from Favorite Person. 🥹 Marigolds are called cempaxochitl (twenty flowers) in Nahuatl, and Xochitl's name was chosen before she/I knew about the flower motifs running throughout Emmrich's romance. It was meant to be. 🥰

A shepherd, nothing more

A black and white vignette of a shepherdess with a flock of sheep. In front of her is a black one, and she’s nuzzling into the hand of the girl. The shepherdess is posed in a guarded and unsure way.

The only light in the image is a bright pointed light of a guardsman’s lantern, but you can still see their faces: Olgerd is tensely following a guardsman with his eyes. Nick is looking right at him, holding a finger up to his lips. Their legs are interwoven to fit the tight space.

Give me peace of my at last - show me all you are #monsteranime

A painting of Heinrich Lunge from anime Monster. We see his back. He stands in front of a big mirror, his forehead pressed against it. The mirror is broken by a gunshot, split into dozens of pieces. The mirror reflects Kenzo Tenma behind the detective, but different shards reflect him on the different stages of life, and some of the shard reflects pieces of Johan as well. Lunge is holding the mirror with his left hand. The fingers of his right hand are reaching into the hole, made by the shot, digging inside.

Al Nonton @alnorton.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

Day 8/?? Meetings

A single page comic. On a background of a red wine glass, smashed on the floor, there are two frames. One shows dark eyes of Eden, wide open in shock. The other shows eyes of Nick Allen, looking tired and grim. The panel below these two shows the same characters but younger: two teenagers, who stopped their respective chores and are regarding each other from mid distance, with a mix of curiosity and wariness.
