A shadow passed over the door, falling across the glaze of the glass, and she sighed, hoping not to see the dove-gray of that man's garb returning, but when she looked up there was a mass of black, pitch-dark, large. It rose up, up past the lintel, up to where she could no longer see.
She stood very still. She realized her heart was pounding. She began to soothe herself; it was not at all
sustainable to startle at shadows in Yharnam. Reason returned: the thing had been large, but not monstrously so, and so it was not a loping beast or mad stray Pthumerian but perhaps instead a fat crow struggling back up to its roost. She had not heard the typical croak-barks of the glutted city wildlife, just the tip-tip-tap of something scuttling over the glass, but she was tired and if the thing was not coming back then it did not matter. A dozen new species of nightmare were documented in this city every week, and she wanted nothing to do with any of them. She'd leave it for her other customer, the doctor who had once happily reached up her chimney to retrieve a soot-coated teratoma, and Arianna had hidden her face and wept and only somewhat pretended at terror as he had strangled the thing while saying, with contemptuous satisfaction, look, gems! The squeezed polyp of bloodstone had been left on her mantle as a tip, and Arianna had traded it for half the lamp-oil it was worth just to be rid of it.
looking forward to the release of @huntersmarkzine.bsky.social coming up soon, happy to say I’ve got a piece in it! wip preview feat. Arianna and a certain spider man:

WRITER SPOTLIGHT
from THE FINAL DAYS OF YAHAR'GUL:
Micolash inhales the final days of Yahar’gul in the form of a strong sea wind stolen from memories of his childhood coastal village. A death smell, salty brine bringing finality. Of course he is working when it comes; he has not stopped working, not since that prophetic visit years ago that showed him his destiny.
Still, he is taken by surprise.
He regards his fingers. Sickly, frail, arthritic, pressed against the lining of stomachs turned inside out, the smooth underside of lips, the inside of the brain. A vessel held together with sutures he and countless other scholars have placed. A bespoke suit fit for a Great One.
Between the scents of decaying flesh and formaldehyde and starched collars of the choir in the church he has built on the bones of innocents, he inhales the briny deep. Yahar’gul is nowhere near the ocean, but here is his reminder that everything returns to the sea.
The breeze blows again, making him shaky on his platform. The revelation clenches his heart with fear as he leans onto the vessel, holding tightly for support. He looks down. He is balanced on a piece of wood between two tall ladders. Over a pool of primordial blood, iridescent like oil, but in purples and blacks and grays.
The sea wind blows yet again. When he finally understands what the whispers asks him, (not through words, per se, but rather like the sea foam fractalization of the cosmos) he is afraid. Not of the coming of the end of his toils, but rather, if he is ready to meet it.
(Hunter's Mark: A Bloodborne Anniversary Zine)
(repost with correct info)
On November 24th, a free Bloodborne fanzine celebrating 10 years will come out! Here's a snippet of my submission (about ya boi, Micolash).

By the wrath of Mother Kos,
mercy for the poor, wizened child...
"Hunter's Mark: A Bloodborne Anniversary Zine" comes out on Nov. 24th, the day "The Old Hunters" released in 2015.
Honored to be in a project about one of my favourite games. Please look forward to it.

A gothic-themed story preview graphic. The text reads:
“You do not see, dear Rom, but you will,” Micolash countered. “It’s a pity you weren’t able to accompany us to Innsmouth. Do you know what we found inside the skulls of those benighted villagers? Eyes, Rom. A veritable feast of eyes. With such insight, even the most inbred and illiterate among the poor fools were able to commune with the Great Kosm. Think of what scholars such as you and I could accomplish.”
Micolash rested the bloodless tips of his fingers on the cherrywood seal of the flask on his desk. The severed eyes preserved in the pale medium continued to float, sightless and unconcerned.
A preview of the Lovecraftian short story I'm contributing to @huntersmarkzine.bsky.social, a Bloodborne fanzine free to download on November 20. It may or may not be based on my own experiences in academia...

Do you serve the Vileblood Queen? Or would you slay her in an instant, if she could be killed in any way that matters?

Visceral attacks are called one of the darker Hunter techniques for good reason, but they’re nothing if not effective, aren’t they?

Question from our Tumblr: is artistic nudity alright in portfolios?
Artistic nudity (or partial nudity) is alright! We'd appreciate it if you labeled the image in a way that makes it clear what's there before opening it, though.

Hi! We're definitely open to taking cosplayers, you'll want to apply as a "page artist" but we'd be happy to have you, we can discuss the specifics of how we'll include your cosplay in the zine further once you're in. -Mod Hope

Contributors will be creating a new piece for the zine, so this would be a great opportunity for you to put your updated skills to use drawing Bloodborne art! We also don’t need to see Bloodborne work in portfolios (though we’d like to), so you can apply with your newer pieces. -Mod Rotary

Last but certainly not least, Rotary rounds out our team as our second mod intern. It’ll primarily be helping out with writing and socials, and they hope to eventually run their own projects!
