Kiffils

Text - The Fall of Ebonwald Image - Thee friends (Amos Wandson, Dimamire Nightshade, and Sir D'Amico) posed to fight; A robed sorcerer with magic glowing around his gauntlet, a young vampire lord wielding a dagger, and a knight in half armor wielding a sword. Text - A mad vampire lord, a kidnapped sorcerer, an ancient feud, and a group of friends. . .

Four rough sketches of possible cover designs. Upper Left - The group of friends flees down a hall from a winged vampire. Upper Right - Two combatants clash, one wields an axe and the other a sword. Other figures fight in the background. Lower Left - Sir D'Amico attacks a giant centipede while a horse rears up in the background. Lower Right - General Nightshade, on horseback, leads mounted forces, sword pointed towards the heavens.

Image, upper left - Trombolt Nightshade, vampire noble with long hair, in a trench coat and holding a drink. Text - Desden saw his uncle lift a hand as he said, “Wait! Do you hear that?” He saw his uncle move the hand to his ear, then turn directly to the bookcase his eye was perched on, and swiftly grab for it, shrouding him in darkness. The mental connection to Dimamire failed as wave of panic swept through him. He opened his left eye, backing away from the door as it was thrown open. The subtle expression of anger and disappointment on his uncle's face was horrifying. But the man spoke calmly, as he usually did. He unfolded his fingers, revealing the eye in his hand, “Hello Desden.” “Hello Uncle Trombolt,” replied Desden, slowly reaching for the eye, “I see you found my eye. I've been looking for that, sometime it just crawls off.” “It just crawls off?” asked his uncle skeptically as he wrapped his fingers around the eye once more before Desden could retrieve it. Calmly he asked, “Where's your cousin?” “Uh, can't say that I know. Maybe the reading room?” replied Desden staring at his uncle's closed hand desperately. His uncle gave the slightest smirk, “Come now Desden, I know you hate being alone. You know where he is, don't you?” “I'm not alone. I've got Buddy,” argued Desden, point up at the little green and pink lovebird nestled down in his hair. They both knew Buddy was imp in disguise, acting as his familiar. If you were to compare Buddy to an actual lovebird, there'd definitely be a few discrepancies. - The Fall of Ebonwald (White Cliff - book 1) Image, lower right - A pinkish-red and white eye, on veiny spider-like legs.

When enemy scouts advance on town during the Summer Starlight Festival, will a young nobleman and friends be able to rescue one of their own, and escape from the power hungry vampire lord?

A nine block moodboard with overall dark and sinister vibes. A keyboard glowing with purple light, touch her and you’ll burn on a white background, stream starting soon on a black background, two girls embracing, currently offline on a black background, two girls with their back to the camera, a phone with an unknown number calling, “shut up” “make me” on a white background, a purple video game streamer setup

SUCH LOVELY SKIN x AGGGTM

When a famous streamer is murdered live in front of 1.7k viewers, rival streamers Keeley and Hattie must put their feud aside to hunt a killer who’s clearly still watching, before they’re both taken off air… permanently.

#W #YA #M #LGBT #ND #BluePit📖

A nine block mood board showing, in order: blood stained converse shoes, bisexual pride pins, a woman wearing a “sounds gay I’m in” t shirt, a creepy Manor House, a newspaper clipping of the word murder, jigsaw pieces, a woman bending down to give a black cat a stroke, a blood stained key, and close up of several people shoes all standing in a circle

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE x queer SCOOBY DOO

When five friends find themselves locked in a mysterious manor with the body of an eccentric puzzle master, they must play their way through the manor’s riddles and puzzles to escape with their lives.

#W #M #LGBT #agented #BluePit 📖

A nine-block moodboard with overall dark, gritty vibes. I wanted her to kiss me on a white background, a girl sitting and staring out an open window at night, a tape player with modern day headphones attached, a hand reaching out of a dark ocean, "this isn't fucking over" against a fiery background, a lighthouse in the middle of a dark ocean, waves at night, a ghost standing in the forest, "I thought we'd have more time" in red font against a white background

LIFE IS STRANGE x sapphic CEMETERY BOYS

When Addie discovers the ghost of Erin, a murdered girl tethered to a local lighthouse, the two must solve a decades old mystery before time runs out and Erin disappears… forever.

A fanart illustration of the character Guinevere from Knights of Guinevere, made by Hazel Budzinski. It shows a blue female figure floating in the air, back facing the floor, unnaturally long arms dangling down with her knees tucked upwards. Wires curve up and around her limbs, with one stabbing into her left wrist and wriggling inside, another into her neck, one into her belly, with others posed at the ready. Her neck is unnaturally turned towards the viewer as though it’s broken, an uncanny smile and wide staring eyes on her face. Behind her is a pink palace, hazy and ethereal. Fireworks explode in front of it, casting a glow against her silhouette

A book cover created by Hazel Budzinski. The upper half of the composition is a forest, lit in a blue haze that fades to green. The dark brown roots from the trees of this forest reach down underneath the earth, taking up the majority of the canvas. The soil turns from a greenish brown to blue as the roots get further down. On top of the illustration is the title 'THE LIES THAT LIE BENEATH' in a light yellow thorny font, and below it is the author's name 'GERRIT VAN ECK'.

An illustration by Hazel Budzinski. At the bottom of the image are dark purple pine trees, with sketchy vibrant red lines around them which look like fire. Behind the trees is pillowing smoke, desatured blue and grey in colour, which blends into a mid-toned purple , then dark purple. At the top of the smoke trails of sketchy red begin, blending into a yellow wolf that leaps forward. On top of the whole piece is the title of the book ‘The Gods Must Burn’ and the authors name ‘T. R. Moore,

A figure, leaping and reaching towards a ball of light streaking out like a star. His face is in anguish, his skin and hair dissolving into noise, stretching up to the light. Surrounding the star is a circle of millipedes, centipedes and a few silverfish. The figure has iridescent skin, like an Opal stone. Behind him is a murky green background, with hues of red and blue. Closer to the figure and the star, the background turns yellow, blue and green, echoing the hues of the figures skin. On top of the illustration is the title 'ILL-MADE GODS' in a medieval like font, with the O for Gods centred over the bright star. At the bottom of the illustration is my name 'Hazel Budzinski'

Morning #PortfolioDay !

I'm Hazel, a trans illustrator from the UK with a big love for ethereal vibes and unsettling subjects.

A little moodboard in warm browns. Grid with six images. Top row: image of a clearing with trees a little further back. Brown box with the words “Fall of” Middle row: brown box with the word “Words.” Close up of a branch with few drops and a few brown leaves Bottom row: light brown fern leaf in front of a road meandering into the background. Scattered colorful maple leaves on the ground. You can almost smell the earthy dampness. Template and pics courtesy of Canva.

For me and my CPs, it’s time to start Fall of Words this September.

Open and individual goals. Small goals, big goals, all goals count.

If you’re trying to get some words down this month, too: good luck and have fun. And if you need a cheerleader, I’ll be here!

#FallofWords

Black background - all text. #CastPit #CastPit is an online pitching event for authors to promote their books at any stage, from published to work in progress - yes, even drafting phase. The main purpose of this pitching event is for you, the author, to give literary agents, publishers, and potential readers, a chance to see inside your mind and envision who your best pick to play your characters would be if your book was turned into a TV series or movie. For us visually oriented people, it helps us imagine your characters better. If your book would be better suited to anime/animation, you can pick an animation style/production house and voice actor for your characters. If you include a director, include a movie they directed that makes you list them. You can even include composers, cinematographers and costume designers. Anyone you feel would be essential to bring the vision of your book properly to the big or small screen. ​ This is a new event, so be creative and have fun with it. You don't have to follow the examples below, using the Agent's Guide style, but a jumping off point. You can even do mood boards with your actors, just be sure to list the actor's name and the character they would play.

Hello #writerscommunity
There is a new pitch event, #CastPit, happening Nov. 13, 2025.
