fanart of the novel 'carmilla' featuring carmilla standing in a door way, her back to the viewer but her head slightly turned like she's just been caught. the image is inspired by the following quote from the book - "...and to this hour the image of Carmilla returns to mind with ambiguous alterations—sometimes the playful, languid, beautiful girl; sometimes the writhing fiend I saw in the ruined church; and often from a reverie I have started, fancying I heard the light step of Carmilla at the drawing room door.”

"...and often from a reverie I have started, fancying I heard the light step of Carmilla at the drawing room door."

Oh this is stunning

An illustrated cover for a short comic called The Hearth by lainey williams. A cabin sits in a clearing in a snowy forest. The small windows in the log cabin are lit yellow and there is a trail of blood through the snow leading to the door. Smoke rises from the cabin’s chimney to surround the title. On either side of the smoke are illustrations in the style of Karelian embroidery, showing stylized geometric patterns in red thread. On the left side embroidery section, there is a depiction of a woman kneeling. her hands are stained red and she wears a headscarf. Opposite her is a woman standing. Instead of a left arm she has a wing. Over the top of the image, two geese shaded in red fly over the cabin and smoke. The trees all around the cabin are shaded in dark blue.

Be my penpal for extremely thoughtful analysis of the Orpheus and Eurydice subtext to season 6 of a show you haven’t seen!

handwriting an eight page letter and quoting Percy Shelley specifically to update my friend about where I am in my teen wolf rewatch this beautiful morning

It is getting frustrating that as soon as movies go to digital or streaming, there is just an onslaught of the most literal and "jack could have fit on the door with rose" level nitpicking takes. Lots of seeing the trees and not the woods kinda viewing.

omg i wasn't expecting anyone to catch the charms but yes! it is!!! It keeps me safe :)

They name dropped Marie Sallé in bridgerton so I had to pause and send a 15 min voice note to my bestie about lesbianism in classical ballet and now I’ve forgotten the entire plot of the show

They should really sell valentines cards in multi pack so you feel like less of a harlot showing up to buy even more when you forget someone

writing out valentines cards for my friends and measuring out the correct number of hearts to draw on each one in case they somehow unionise and cross examine who I love more based on that

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

2025 - crop from a limited tone fantasy family portrait Two adventurers walk in the rain on a board walk in the woods, one with a bow at the ready, the other excitedly pulling her close. Their cat looks towards the foreground, where a dragonfly rests on a flower.

2025 limited color group commission Inside a smokey dining room aboard a river boat pirate ship, a group of adventurers blow off steam. From left to right, an anxious squirrel has drunken to excess, a spirited otter teases them and toasts. A paternalistic skunk with a metal arm scolds them, while a delirious herbalist rabbit offers a solution, and the groups tinkerer, a sparrow, sits with an impulse of a food fight within reach.

2025 full color commission portrait of a cat office at evening in a dimly lit wooden study, a black long haired cat sits at a desk beginning needlework. She wears a plaid suit and sits in a sturdy chair, her tail wrapping around the frame of the desk. on her desk is a table cloth, and a top that is a whirring fan, a rotary phone, two books, a sake bottle and cup. A short hair siamese cat brings a steaming cup of tea. He wears a grey sweater with a red collar and cuff, and his tail sticks up energetically behind him.

2025 full color commission in a dense forest, a goblin hides behind a rock and summons with the aid of a spellbook 3 spectral birds. On the horizon, a giant white elk turns its gaze towards their hiding spot.
