ASH

Book cover for Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. The cover depicts Carmilla leaning her head against Laura's while she embraces her, Laura doesn't shy away from Carmillas touch but seems shy to reciprocate. They're framed by a red pointed arch, a devil and an angel and some baroque ornaments.

A crop.

Carmilla 🩸🖤

Mat standing between Emil and Locke. Locke says "we're never drawn together" with his hand on his hip as he stares at Mat. Mat crossed both his arms and looks straight on, blushing as he says "Gee- I really wonder why." Emil has his hand on Mat's head as he smiles with a threatening jealous aura around him.

#art #oc

Wearing a tan cloak with red trim, a woman with long brown hair stands next to a scaly green dragon. Perched on the rocky seashore, it curls its long slender tail and spreads its wings over her. A spiky conch-like shell hovers over her outstretched palm, casting a radial aura that illuminates them both. Reverently, her other hand is held to her chest as her eyes are cast up. Behind them, an outcrop of dark rock projects up on diagonals that mirror the shore they stand on. The backdrop mostly blocks out a night sky painted in a gradient of blue to purple. Two crescent moons spaced far apart are visible in the break between the rocks.

There are few subjects that captivate fantasy readers as much as a Whelan dragon. In total he painted 20 draconic covers, the bulk of those for Anne McCaffrey (9) and Melanie Rawn (7). 1/4

A new moon or a full moon, he always looks so cool Erika!! LOVE these pieces side-by-side!! 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙

a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy

the future is for trans people

The images are of Wrathion and Anduin from World of Warcraft. It's a commission done by @grey0295 (Grey!) for @ClaretAsh. The image to the left shows them as teens, much like their MoP iterations. They're on an adventure together, looking at a stack of scrolls they've discovered. Anduin gazes them, unfurled and in hand, while Wrathion carries the other scrolls on his back, and summons a small flame above him to aid his reading efforts. Their outfits are different than their in-game designs, and Grey has added layers, details and other things adorning them. The image on the right shows them as grown men, in elegant and detailed outfits, different from their game designs! Both are smiling and have their arms about each other. In their free hands, Wrathion carries a full goblet and Anduin carries a sword very different, yet familiar to Shalamayne. They're ready to get up to the same sort of mischief as they did as lads. "I was with you at the beginning of your journey. It is right that I should follow you to its end."

“You are my today and all of my tomorrows.” 🌠

A *verrryyy* big personality for this bossy lil dragon Neil, AND I JUST LOVE EVERY SKETCH HERE SO MUCH!! 🥹💗✨️💗✨️💗✨️💗✨️💗✨️💗✨️

Four sketches of Wrathion from World of Warcraft, wow!!! Wrathion says, "I keep no secrets. You are welcome to accompany us, Anduin Wrynn." He examines his nails. "If your injury permits." There's a sketch beside that of Wrathion looking pouty while crossing his arms, and another below, where he looks affronted. "That's ridiculous. Why would you even play!?" he says.

Another four sketches of Wrathion from World of Warcraft. Wrathion says, "I have chosen the name Wrathion." I put two little blue and pink hearts beside the dialogue to indicate how trans coded this line is... The sketch below that is of him grinning, saying, "You aren't harbouring any bad thoughts, are you?" The last two sketches are of Wrathion as a dragon, and Wrathion wearing a binder, without his turban on, showing that he is a trans man. All the lines here are from the game!! I wanted to draw how I imagined him emoting during each of them.

little dragon, big personality

The image is of Wrathion and Anduin from World of Warcraft. It's a commission done by @thenothingmaker for @ClaretAsh. It's a commission done in traditional media. This piece is one part of a set, based on the story East of the Sun and West of the Moon. Wrathion and Anduin lie together in bed, surrounded by a beautifully lush room, with tiled walls and glass lanterns and bright flowers. The men lie naked from the waist up under a blanket with a moon phases on it in blue and also gold, reminiscent of the sun. Wrathion and Anduin hold each other in an embrace - Wrathion's eyes closed with a blissful look on his face, a hand on Anduin's waist. Andiun gazes happily at Wrathion's face, a hand cradling his jaw. ....yes in this AU Wrathion would be a mysterious dragon who turns into a man at night, while Anduin is a price of a kingdom in his debt. As a return favour, he goes to stay with this recluse dragon and his retainers, in a castle East of the Sun and West of the Moon...

The image is of Wrathion and Anduin from World of Warcraft. It's a commission done by @thenothingmaker for @ClaretAsh. It's a commission done in traditional media. This piece is the other part of a set, based on the story East of the Sun and West of the Moon. Wrathion and Anduin relax together in a grand room, surrounded by beautiful tile work, pillars, glass lamps and pillows of all colours of the rainbow. Out on the balcony, gold chiffon curtains are blown by the wind and bright light pours through the arches. In the middle of the room is a game board. Anduin sits casually on a lounge, with a good-natured, contemplative look on his face as he holds a game piece. He's considering where to place it on the board. Across from him is Wrathion in his dragon form, his dark scales lit up with a soft rainbow of colour. A small smile pulls at the corner of his lips in his draconic visage as he gazes at Anduin. ....yes in this AU Wrathion would be a mysterious dragon who turns into a man at night, while Anduin is a price of a kingdom in his debt.

They journeyed far and the black dragon said, "Are you afraid?"
"No," he replied. "I am not afraid.” 🌄

The image is of Anduin Wrynn and Wrathion from World of Warcraft. The piece shows the two men in an embrace, faces close together. Both have their eyes closed and wear joyful smiles. Wrathion had his hands on either side of Anduin's face, as Anduin moves his hand along Wrathion's side, to his back. They both wear relaxed outfits, Anduin in a blue short with gold filigree. We also wears Wrathion's ruby pendant. Wrathion wears a cream shirt, with a deep red sash, which flows along the bottom of the picture. The background frames them in a gold halo, with red, orange and yellow clouds behind them - the first three colours (and meanings in the text) of the Pride flag. The piece as a rich and strong colour to it - A BRIGHT START TO PRIDE! 🏳‍🌈

💛🧡❤️ Red: life. Orange: healing. Yellow: sunlight. ❤️🧡💛

The image is of Anduin and Wrathion from World of Warcraft. It's a commission done by @galacticjonah for @ClaretAsh. The image is broken into two frames, to resemble the famous proposal scene in Pride & Prejudice, balanced by Darcy's and Elizabeth's conflicting tensions, yet passion and longing for one another. The piece shows Wrathion and Anduin soaked through by the rain, but sheltered by a marble pillared gazebo. In the top image, Anduin's pale blue shirt is soaked through by the rain, a neckerchief that has come untied and his hair is slightly bedraggled, yet he wears a wistful, longing expression. He has a hand pulled towards his chest, as he gazes at Wrathion who is just off frame. He stands in front of a peaceful lake in the background, where willows and another gazebo can be seen. Wrathion is in the bottom image, looking slightly bedraggled too. He wears a dark, elegant suit and cravat. He wears a solemn expression as he looks at Anduin, as if he has just admitted something, and is cautiously awaiting the answer. He stands in front of a soft green treeline. The two panels capture the feeling of the movie scene perfectly. ....hey, did you know that this film version of Pride & Prejudice will be turning 20 years old in September this year?

"I love you. Most ardently."

And just to add to this, if you want to hear much, *much* more about my thoughts on this and on Anduin's story as a whole, I did a pre-TWW discussion series with @silriven.bsky.social and @claretash.bsky.social last year that touches on this a lot more in depth.

fromsoftober monthly drawing challenge 2022 / day 26-29

We’re getting close to halfway funded!! Maybe we can reach it today? ✨

Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️.

But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤
