a drawing of the Witch in Glass posing for a photograph - one hand on her hip, wearing a white sleeveless dress and arm-long black gloves and holding a closed umbrella. multiple parts of the clothing blend into black goo, which is floating upwards. it also covers the upper half of her face, hiding her eyes and forehead. a watercolored dragon head is coming from the upper left and laying it's head on her shoulder.
my @secretsamol.bsky.social gift for Max Brown - "something with the witch in glass, maybe with some of her iconoclast minions"

a drawing of the Witch in Glass posing for a photograph - one hand on her hip, she is wearing a white sleeveless dress and arm-long black gloves and holding a closed umbrella. her eyes are obscured by black liquid, like a mask. behind her are a mass of various tentacles or flesh with tentacles and eyes, painted in blue watercolors.
a framed drawing of the Witch in Glass posing for a photograph - one hand on her hip, wearing a white sleeveless dress and arm-long black gloves and holding a closed umbrella. her eyes are scribbled out with ink. coming up behind her is a scaled worm. it's big eye lines up behind her re head, resembling a halo.
a drawing of the Witch in Glass posing for a photograph - one hand on her hip, wearing a white sleeveless dress and arm-long black gloves and holding a closed umbrella. her face is entirely obscured by smeared charcoal, resembling a black flame. around her feet are 3 black charcoal dogs with long necks and heads resembling burnt matchsticks.
a drawing of the Witch in Glass posing for a photograph - one hand on her hip, she is wearing a white sleeveless dress and arm-long black gloves and holding a closed umbrella. next to her is a figure made out of crumpled paper - pieces of her own silhouette. they are connected by strands of black paint running between the two.
in addition to the digital painting, I wanted to mess around with mixed media iconoclasts. these are: watercolors, ink, charcoal, and paper+acrylic. it was a lot of fun!!

My #secretsamol gift for Jeevies, who asked for Slumbous giving the Blackwick crew dreams of Brnine, and I spent a little too much time thinking about a Sangfielle AU Brnine, so here it is: Slumbous and the Lake Dredge! little bit of microfiction as a bonus! #friendsatthetable #sanfielle #palisade

a digital drawing of a comic featuring Blue Jay and Benjamin from seasons of Hieron. in the first panel, Ben is looking frustrated and is saying "stop moving around you're messing me up!" Blue Jay (who is off panel) responds "Are you even doing this right?" and Ben responds "of course! you can do mine after or whatever!". the second panel is a zoom-out showing that Ben is doing blue jay's makeup, sitting close with a gentle hand on one side of their face. In the panel after blue jay looks down at Ben's lips and starts blushing. the bottom panel shows Blue Jay jerking their head back and shouting "c'mon man!" at the same time Ben says "hey!"
a continuation of the digitally drawn comic. the first panel is set sometime later and shows Blue Jay and Benjamin after their makeup is finished. Blue Jay is wearing a short sleeved maxi dress and looks a bit skeptically down at themselves. Ben is sitting next to them with his hands clasped in his lap and asks "so, how do you feel about it." in the next panel Blue Jay responds and says "Well I totally don't look like my day right now." a break in the speech bubble to show a pause "but it's weird, I don't feel like it's me either." the next panel is Ben looking pensive and exhaling. a panel later he says "Pants?!" a though suggesting this could be the answer to gender dysphoria. the bottom panel is the top half of Blue Jay and Ben's heads as they look conspiratorial. Blue Jay says "you know what, yeah. Maybe a more practical skirt. I think the fanciness is what's got me." Ben responds "good! because I am not doing your makeup every day!"
a digital drawing of Blue Jay and Benjamin as adults in their early twenties. Blue Jay has wild hair and has grown small tusks on their lower jaw. they're about a head taller than Benjamin and are standing behind him with their middle and ring finger curled inward on their left hand. they're wearing a loose cropped tank top and baggy shorts that have embroidery motifs on them. Benjamin is standing in front of his partner and is posing with one hand high
For the lovely Roseth0rns on tumblr, I made some Blue Jay/Benjamin gender exploration set during Spring! #secretsamol #secretsamol2025 #friendsatthetable

It is a digital drawing of Candide from Friends at the Table's Realis campaign. She is a 12 year old stowaway and is contemplating the future she's seen, sitting with her big iguana Escrundillio in a tower on the moon Dokine. The moon is blanketed with caustic yellow mists, and Candide is looking up at the bright blue planet Realis. In the sky we see the Serene Atoll being attacked by the Empest flagship, Ulled, Principia, and the Crux, as well as another flying butterfly city on Dokine, and the Corpse Sun. Candide looks thoughtful and is petting Escrundillio for comfort. They are both wearing the 'protective' charm Hye got them. Candide's notebook is on the ground and says 'Don't split up when you're 12' and 'List of friends: Wellaway Piaster'
Happy #secretsamol ! For Divinefealty on tumblr, Candide contemplating their future on the tower in Dokine!

An ink and watercolor drawing of Pickmen and Ms. Chantilly Scathe from friends at the table. Pickmen is leaning down while Ms. Chantilly Scathe whispers something in her ear, her hand also rests on pickmen's shoulder where it leaves a bloodstain.
My #secretsamol piece that I did for @tapetraveler.bsky.social, in which I faced my greatest artistic challenge; drawing two people interacting. In the end i was pretty happy with how it turned out.

Sepia image. Marn, peeling an orange looks back over her shoulder at Chine picking more oranges from a tree growing in the dark in an underground cathedral. The caption reads "Twenty minutes in and the vibes are rancid

Happy #SecretSamol to Ocean1212w (not of this parish) who suggested Marn being rude to someone. This was the first year i felt confident enough in my art to do a painting from the very beginning of Sangfielle. The sepia feels more in-setting but I was pleased with the colours.

caoimhe wake princess-carrying an excited bronte adelvys. she's got a mildly annoyed expression while he is posing and looking delighted. they have matching outfits of black pants and white soft shirts with a tie, but bronte's got a purple corset and military style cropped jacket, and caoimhe has a grey corset and is wearing a teal and gold embroidered cloak.
bronte slowly moving into a kiss (mouth or cheek up to interpretation) with a very blushy caoimhe. he has a hand on her cheek and reassures her saying "stay calm, lady Caoimhe, we've got eyes on us~"
my #secretsamol for @suedeuxnim.bsky.social is some fake-dating between caoimhe and bronte! i REALLY wanted to draw them this year so i was so excited at the request :"D

my gift for teleogougar this #secretsamol, an early version of the beachminton minigame from the gamecube port of perpetua! sooo silly to make but so much fun too
a secret agent and a radioman priest sit together in a diner. behind them three zoo employees are chatting unaware of the polar bear playing the arcade machine. in the foreground a huge bird steals spaghetti and two children walk by, one with a chihuahua in her bag
Happy #secretsamol !! The walls between Bluff City, Blough City and Bluffington are especially thin tonight. Agent Heard hasn’t noticed yet because Hector has found something interesting in his research… or maybe he’s entranced by the sound of Hector’s voice
For @myrdrottningen.bsky.social
Happy #secretsamol! Here’s my fic for @soleiltxt.bsky.social's post-canon Gig/Echo prompt “an exploration of how they grow closer to each other as they settle into their new lives, with tons of yearning for bonus points” 🎥💞💪🏽 #friendsatthetable

The vissage of a ManShrew, a creature with strange proportions making them feel somewhere between both. The brushwork is soft, fluffy and impressionistic, there is a vague suggestion of his skeleton. The beasts fur is a flaming orange that stands in stark contrast to the deep black background
Happy Secret Samol to @arparparp.bsky.social
Get absolutely chined on fool, completely chined out
An embroidered and quilted panel showing a shooting star falling onto a changing landscape. Each corner has a smaller appliqué in yellow, a hand holding a star, a butterfly wing, and orchid, and a snail shell. Everything is on a bright pink background with an embroidered blue star border.
This is my third year of #secretsamol, my first year not getting a prompt for Lyke, and my most ambitious project so far. Thanks to @glenatron.bsky.social for the Perpetua prompt ‘where the star fell,’ which allowed me to spend a lot of time looking at images of both stars and swamps.

An orange sunset background with a pixel art character portrait and textbox. The dialog reads "Brontë: A walk at sunset truly does wonders for the constitution."
My Secret Samol gift for @follypersist.bsky.social is a little renpy game featuring Brontë and a surprise guest! (Plus a Wordzin minigame)
CW for flirting and sexual innuendo. I'd call it a PG-13 rating?
