#BookSky Did you know that women are still underrepresented in the horror genre? Time to read more horror books by female authors!
In honor of International Women's Day, books by female authors are 25% off on @tonyanuci.bsky.social's store this weekend. Get my book and many other gems!
A stylised 2D head only portrait of Hag Ethel from Baldur's Gate 3, on a purple gradient background with the artist's name in the bottom right in infernal font (Tavylia Sin)
A 2D art piece of Volothamp Geddarm wearing his usual blue hat and Mystra's black and gold dress with thigh high stockings. He's standing bent slightly forwards with one hand on his hip and the other over his mouth in a cheeky and provocative pose. The background is a purple-pale yellow gradient with a beam of light effect and a thin border frame. The artist has signed Tavylia Sin in the lower right using the infernal font.
A 2D art piece of He Who Was from Baldur's Gate 3 designed as a plastic minifigure toy style. He is on a dark black and blue gradient background. The artist has signed Tavylia Sin in the lower right using the infernal font.
A 2D lineart image of Sovereign Spaw's head with the word Sovereign beneath in cursive handwriting and a simple geometric pattern above. The background is black and all the lines are highlighted in a bright rainbow gradient with red on the left and violet on the far right. The spots on the myconid's mushroom parts are coloured in a faded gradient going the opposite direction (red on the right, violet left).
I'm hoping to maybe put some of my silly fun art up on VGen for a few pennies now and then, but I will need a little help to do it π₯Ί

Originally pitched as FRANKENSTEIN x THE LITTLE MERMAID, itβs about two disgraced genetic engineers who are hired by a mysterious billionaire to alter humans to live on the ocean floor and escape eco-catastrophe on land.
Canβt wait to share it with you!
In case anyone needed to feel the crushing weight of time today, 2060 is the same number of years away as 1990.
