We're hiring! We're looking for a Writer and Narrative Designer to join the Fallen London team at a senior or mid level. This position is permanent, remote, and full time, which for us means 35 hours a week. #GamesJobs

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Wishing you a pleasant and restful autumn equinox 🌗🍁☀️ #noaharcbook #laurenmcrownoc

A digital illustration meant to look like papercraft of Noah in his “Temperance” skin. He stands with one foot in the water as per the tarot card, the sun in one hand and the moon in the other—just like his eyes. Above him, the sky is fading between day and night

musing after finishing this month’s wallpaper at the different ways I’ve drawn Spectbarrow Prep and how I’ve gotten better, how it’s changed, and how it’s also the same (I thought I’d drawn it at least 4 times, but I guess it’s just 3)

September 2025; a digital illustration meant to look like papercraft of Noah and Lucy siting in a tree and playing Switch, Lucy proudly showing Noah the console and Noah looking on encouragingly. They sit beneath a tree with bright red-orange leaves, which have also started to fall on the ground and foreground. In the back, the library and perimeter wall are blurry but visible

2024, done piecemeal with huge gaps between sections so I don’t know how to date it ;;;; A digital pixel art illustration of Noah and Lucy on Spect’s campus; Noah stands along a cement path in the grass, looking at a tree with brilliant red-orange foliage. Lucy sits on the concrete stairs into a brick class building a little further back

September 2022; these illustrations happen in September for a reason, haha. A digital illustration of Noah and Lucy sitting on the short steps leading into a brick building on campus; near them are trees with bright red-orange leaves, a winding concrete path through the grass, and an unwelcome visitor near the perimeter wall far in the back…

Four of my favorite PokéPocke display boards, because man I love both art and Pokemon Please let us have more than 15 boards Nintendo, they're SO FUN and you've released so many cool backgrounds I don't get to use : C

2☆ full-art rare of Sabrina, with her arms out to either side and an explosion of magenta and white energy around her. The display board is Mewtwo, who appears to hover above her, arms out to either side as he gathers a magenta sphere of energy. This is my favorite display board, I'm very proud of the synergy haha

The Giratina 1☆ full-art against the display board of a mosaic-looking arrangement of Dialga, Palkia, and Darkrai. I adore the colors and the eerie spiral composition of the Giratina art (as well as just Origin form Giratina, AUGH what a COOL POKEMON), and with its Distortion World aesthetic against the "human myth" of the tile, it's just COOL. Also, Dialga, Palkia, and Darkrai seemingly heralding it is a very fun touch

1☆ full-art Minior on the.... uh... this is ultra Necrozma or something? ;;;; I actually have little idea of the Gen 7 legendaries and ultra beasts, my bad ;;;; But it's big and gold and firing down streaks of rainbow light, while 7 Minior of rainbow colors streak down from the night sky--another synergy I love

2☆ full-art Darkrai EX on the Espeon/Umbreon display board. I won't go too into detail about this one because errrr... Darkrai is my favorite pokemon, Darkrai EX 2☆ is my favorite card in the game, and I wanted it to have a unique backing and I like Umbreon/Espeon and Sun/Moon aesthetics a lot, so that's kind of all there is to it ;;;;

I got this month's wallpaper and sticker done on time! ☆ The digital wallpapers are always available, but the postcard and sticker will just go out to those supporting me before the end of August! 🧡🧡🧡 I am R E A D Y to say goodbye to summer

A preview of my August Patreon wallpaper and postcard; Noah and Lucy lie on the grass after a fierce watergun fight, surrounded by puddles of gathered water and covered in loose blades of grass. In the puddles around them are reflected the fireworks going off high above, casting rainbow light over the boys and the wet grass. The text: Preview ☆ is on top of it, since the digital wallpaper is a Patreon reward

A preview of my August Patreon sticker; Noah and Lucy's faces if they were fireworks, glowing in front of a handful of other colorful fireworks. A relief to have a simple one this month, and very glad a very tricky effect came out more or less fine on the first attempt

I managed to draw Gladion, Academy Outfit on Pokemon Masters EX and was reminded, man, I LOVE Porygon Z??? // #pokemon #oc #laurenmcrownoc #noaharcbook //

An illustration of Noah (from NOAH ARC) half-climbing out of an arcade machine with a Porygon Z (from Pokemon) hovering in front of him. The background looks like a game arcade lost in darkness, including burning-bright pokemon neon signs and a uv-bright patterned carpet

I just finished making my monthly wallpaper out of a random doodle from a month ago, so I thought: “I can join trend?!” This return to social media stuff is tricky ;;; // #laurenmcrownoc #noaharcbook //

A recent art meme by Growthbyvisuals; “Just Make It Exist First” sits above a sloppy circle imperfectly filled in with teal—next to it is my notebook doodle of Lucy and Noah lying on the grass after a fierce watergun fight, the puddles surrounding them reflecting the fireworks above
Below is “You Can Make it Good Later,” with a perfect circle perfectly filled in with teal. Next to it is the finished digital art of Noah and Lucy lying on the grass, extremely colorful and glow-y because I wanted it to be experimental and fun. Actually not sure if the spirit is better, but the “full” image definitely has a lot more effort and technique put into it

Like Parents, Like Child meme from @txtdariocs Saw another artist do this and it seemed quick and cute, so here are Lucy and Noah! ☆ // #oc #laurenmcrownoc #noaharcbook //

A series of sliding bars that shows Lucy is mostly a perfect mix of his parents, Sonya and Milo, with a little extra touch of Academic Quirkiness from his dad. (Appearance: 5% towards Sonya; Personality: 60% towards Milo; Emotional Expression: 40% towards Milo; Intelligence or Talent: perfect mix; Emotional Closeness: 15% towards Sonya (sorry Milo, he’s a mama’s boy…); Most Influenced By: 3% towards Milo, but I think that might be wrong; What’s All His Own: his love of GHOSTS!!! His flouncy gold hair)

A series of sliding bars that shows Noah is essentially a softer, gentler, kinder copy of his only parent, his dad Nathan. His second parent is unknown and there are no canon details about them, so they’re presented only as ???

(Appearance: 95% towards Nathan; Personality: 8% towards Nathan; Emotional Expression: 5% towards Nathan; Intelligence or Talent: 30% towards Nathan; Emotional Closeness: X; Most Influenced By: 100% towards Nathan, as his father raised him as a single dad; What’s All His Own: photography ♡, his strong psychic Sight, his freckles, that he’s so tremendously sweet)

You ever see a statue of Ronald McDonald and just KNOW that thing’s gonna make a child cry?? // #oc #art #laurenmcrownoc #noaharcbook // (now with alt text!)

A photograph of a Ronald McDonald statue sitting on a bench outside of a McDonald’s location in Japan. The artist, personally, thinks his face is unsettling. Drawn in next to him is a young Noah, about 5, wailing his little heart out but sitting there because he was told to and he’s not gonna move, even though he hates being here. A very good, very sad boy in little dinosaur sneakers that leave dino footprints when he walks

Have a lovely and safe obon! 🏮🏮🏮🏮 (How many yokai can you name?) // #oc #yokai #laurenmcrownoc #noaharcbook //

An illustration of a yokai AU, with Noah the camera tsukomagami leading Lucy, a human, along a forest path to a yokai matsuri, walking alongside many other yokai. Within his yellow lantern light it’s safe, but outside the light things get blurrier and more dangerous…

post an old illustration you still like 🌘 this illustration I did of Noah and Lucy in 2022 is just one of my absolute favorites, I still can't put my finger on what about it just works so WELL for me #oc #laurenmcrownoc #noaharcbookoc

an illustration of Noah and Lucy sitting beneath a make-shift tent in an old, haunted building, sharing Lucy's flashlight as they look over a book he's holding. It seems they've taken a break from looking for ghosts to go over some research. And off from the side, something eerie watches on...

I procrastinated going to bed by messing around with some Procreate brushes and uhhhhh I love it?? #oc #laurenmcrownoc #noaharcbook au tho

An illustration of Lucy (from NOAH ARC's Eldritch AU) looking over his shoulder, half in Eldritch form and half human. It's colored in a messy, soft painting style because I was screwing around with speed-painting and new brushes. The lineart took me forever though, that's from a previous illustration

The boy has been deployed! He's actually not 100% finished yet, but 98 is close enough, and he's structurally sound He's a loooong looong boy because he's a wrist rest for typing! I have another plush wrist support that isn't portable and it's SO helpful 😭♡ I knew I wanted one I could take around

A fancily angled photo of my Starbucks set up, including iPad, foldable Bluetooth keyboard, and featuring my 98% complete Noah wrist rest plush! He's slightly longer than my 12.9" iPad Pro and about 1" high (I'm hoping with use he'll squish down just a bit)

A side shot of the Noah Wrist Rest Plush in action, with my wrists resting on the plush and my fingers at my keyboard as if I'm about to write and not just procrastinate. You can also see a Japanese Starbucks in the back, which looks mostly identical to all other Starbucks

A straight-on photo of my Starbucks set up, including iPad, foldable Bluetooth keyboard, and featuring my 98% complete Noah wrist rest plush! He's slightly longer than my 12.9" iPad Pro and about 1" high (I'm hoping with use he'll squish down just a bit)

Happy Birthday to my Best Boy 💙❤️🧡

An illustration from 2023 of Noah and Lucy standing close together, smiling; they're both holding up one finger because this was to celebrate NOAH ARC's second anniversary

Noah's 2024 OCtober illustration; just a frazzled ball of anxious boy

I despise that this doodle took me 45 seconds and I gave it to someone; this is still one of my favorite drawings of Noah and it turned out SO CUTE I printed it on a tote bag and it's now my favorite bag

A mid-20s Noah drawing?! With navy hair because that's canon when he's 19, and the undersides are light purple because this is from an AU in which he's an eldritch tentacle monster of observation pretending to be human

もう一回☝️ Hello, I’m Lauren! she/her but still nby ☆ Writer, Artist, Game Enthusiast one-day Published Author, Professional Illustrator, Game Dev I like to write stories about cute, sad boys making friends and finding the will to live, with a dose of princes, ghosts, celestial imagery, and bad jokes

I also do pixel art sometimes! Here’s a scene from my current novel, featuring Noah and Lucy in an aggressively haunted building

A section of my current book, NOAH ARC. I know I should have shared a shorter section but I really like all the emotional flow in this one ;;;
