Rephrasing of a popular tumblr post, in three parts. 1. Percy holds Knell by the collar with a skeptical expression on his face. Knell explains, βBut I could kill you!β 2. Percy yanks him closer, his face inches from Knellβs βYeah? So could another human being. So could a dog. So could a dedicated duck. Youβre not special.β 3. Under a caption of βPost-rant clarityβ. Knell walks behind Percy with a fond smile on his face. All while Percy is in the foreground looking panicked, thinking βHoly shit, I couldβve died.β

Percy is comforting⦠in his own way.

Knell from Traitor and the Wretch. Caption βHe looked at him like he was the Sunβ¦β Expectation: Knell looks up, hands clasped with a wide-eyed look of wonder on his face Reality: Knellβs face is scrunched-up, hands in a raptor-claw stance

Making #TraitorandtheWretch art until it finally releases on 10/10.
Knell and Percy drawn to be the traditional bad guys they were meant to embody in a more abstract style. Knell is shrouded in darkness with a pale, outstretched hand, mouth open in a silent shriek. Percy is hunched, enshrouded in Knellβs cloak, wielding a long, white dagger.
10.10.25 #Drawtober2025 Day 10: Archetype
#TraitorandtheWretch Itβs here! Itβs finally here!
The conceit of novel came from the idea of what would happen if the two minor bad guys from any other fantasy story came together.
Congratulations to @mythjae.bsky.social on the successful book launch!
In celebration of The Traitor & The Wretch book launch, we want to highlight some of the wonderful fanart already making it's way into the #traitorandthewretch tag! β¨

The Traitor & the Wretch, a paperback book by Jasmine Walls and Rowan MacColl, featuring black-and-white character art with silver foil details of skulls and daggers, is on a crocheted blue-and-green bedspread. A ginger and white cat is curled up beside the book.
Shitty photo but the foil details on #traitorandthewretch do look amazing under a camera flash π
Happy release day @bonedustpress.bsky.social! So excited to finally curl up & read this tonight.

The cover for The Traitor & the Wretch (by Jasmine walls and Rowan MacColl) drawn by Amy Phillips. A black and white illustration, done in a charcoal-like grey scale style showing Percy, a rough mercenary looking man with short black hair, a scarred face, and a dagger in hand, surrounded by stylized knives. The bottom half show Knell, a greasy, ragged, and malnourished man surrounded by chains and decaying skeletons.
