Went into a fugue state listening to music and sketched like 6 pages of a Marrow comic in straight biro in an afternoon. Really loved how ( @theazrai.com 's) Nox's face came out in these panels. #Marrow #Starwhispers

Close up of a biro sketched comic.
In the first panel a man named Nox is featured with an intense, murderous, expression, staring at another dark haired character (shown in a smaller panel beside him with a focus on a light eye).
The dark haired character speaks, in 'Enochian' the brunette villain says:
"He belongs to me."
In the final panel Nox replies in Enochian:
"Prepare for me. Filth."
(Enochian in this instance is just scrawled lines meant to represent the language of the angelic and infernal).

I would love nothing more. But how would you want to participate in a remote LARP? Making videos in costume? Written rp? Drawn art? Audio only? Some combination of these? Because once Lou and I are no longer kinda homeless, we absolutely plan to develop the next chapters of our interactive stories.

As a heads up, if you are not Black please don’t look away from the posts where folks are asking for support and donations. This year, mutual aid and community care is more important than ever. In the US, more than 40,000 Black women and femmes have been laid off for their race and gender alone.

When it comes to drafts, sketches & concepts, I work very fast & I am very good. I’m also a great art mentor because I can read intention in the work of other people. I am good at breaking down influences, defining ideas, & recreating other styles. Overall: I am a great communicator.

‘In hell there is dark so deep no light but that of a human soul can pierce it…’ Another concept for me and @theazrai.com’s queer, urban romantasy book: MARROW.

An illustration in black and white of a witch in a pitch black void. He is casting a soul candle spell. There are stars and sparks around one main light in the witches outstretched hand. The main light (the soul candle) is loosely based off a human heart. This spell allows his spirit to act as a light in the dark for as long as he can keep it lit.
At his chest the hands of the damned in the void of Hell are grabbing at him and the light and nearly pulling him under.
The title of the series: MARROW. Is front and centre.

An illustration of a shorter, nervous looking witch in a sweater with hidden eye motifs, carrying a small grimoire, with an eye marking on the back of his hand being lifted slightly by a taller, smoking, demon, with horns, dog tags, and bracers. They are surrounded by a mix of lightening and magic.

An artistic response to a post I saw from the Hell Site.

Text reads: “AI GIRLFRIEND”
Over an illustration of a bloated, monstrous, creature with many eyes, polluting its environment, with sharp, predatory, teeth, and a sickly, glistening, bloated, body. Its hand is outstretched in front of its hungry, drooling, maw, towards a man, apparently ignorant to the danger, who stands just in front of it, admiring a dangling torso of a pretty woman. Extended from a proboscis from the monsters head.

In MARROW a poltergeist is a damned being that fuses ghosts & spirits into itself. It uses stolen memories & voices to violently haunt the living to death—then it consumes them. In a parasitic circle that can slowly wipe out entire families & elevate the poltergeist to demonhood. @theazrai.com

An illustration of a monstrous poltergeist. It has three mouthes and a dried, warped, humanoid body without clothing. It has four arms. It seems to be crouched in a relaxed manner. As if settled on a shelf looking down at someone.
Beneath it in bold text reads: MARROW. The title of the story it’s from.

The sweater is adorned with eye iconography. Which the witch has a mark of on the back of one hand clutching a grimoire. The demon has dog tags and bracers on his wrists.
They are ringed in electricity and magical stars while smoke from the demon’s cigarette trails off to one side.
The title of their story, MARROW, is at the bottom.

Druid girl, almost finished. I gave her very glowy highlight on her face & body, because I think it looks beautiful on darker skin tones. I imagine her jewellery is porcelain or varnished & when she walks it chimes like bells.

Process of illustrations for a Druid lady with customised porcelain horns. It shows her sketch, her lines, and her finished flat (ish) piece. She is a dark skinned Druid with long blue braided hair. Her braids have beaded pink flowers on the ends. She is wearing a wrapped white top with medieval fantasy sleeves that end with golden petal like
Ornaments. She is wearing matching blue tights and a sort of tabard attached to her belt. Her belt is wide and dark brown with flowery star motifs. She has leather knee length sandals. She wears flowers in her hair and on a necklace at her throat. Her make up and skin tone is dewy and seems to glow. She gives a calm, poised, sweet & magical presence in her expression.
