2006 | 2016 | 2026
Been looking forward to redrawing this Cardcaptor Sakura fanart from 2006, the first piece of digital art I ever drew! Pretty crazy how much my style has changed, though the shift from 2016 to 2026 was actually a very conscious decision. I wasn't happy with the way I was drawing back then, and slowly but surely (through many studies and failed attempts) worked to change it. I think it worked out pretty well!
See you again in 2036 💚
been looking at too much german expressionist art lately
AMC please hire me to draw an IWTV graphic novel please please please please please please please please
if you love us will you give us a tiny tease of everyone’s masquerade outfits (PLEASE i can’t wait until after the next hiatus 😭)
Please appreciate that I'd been putting off completing the designs for months and your ask made me get off my ass and finally do it lmao
Trying not to reveal too much here, but here you go! Should be a fun time.
Thank you for the ask !!

Romanceable characters in my new choose-your-own book: August 🍷🗡️💀🥀 🌿
With ending art by me, @alexassan and @kroovv - both artists whose sultry / moody / poignant / threatening vampire art I'm terribly in love with - I was delighted beyond words to work together and see their incredible illustrations take shape for the book
When Hari told me they were planning this book my brain shut down and all I could think was the Eric Andre LET ME INNNNN meme needing to be a part of this project more than I needed air in my lungs or money in my pocket or, probably, any measure of self-respect... and so here we are like a year later and I don't want to brag (I do) but I got to draw the best character in the book. It is what it is 💅🧛❤️
ANYWAY this book is fantastic it's so so so good. The other artists in it are just phenomenal and although August is the best vampire, the other love interests are also really hot and fun. I mean they're all vampires so you know it's gonna be a trip.
Highly HIGHLY recommended if you like excellent writing, enjoy gorgeous art, and desperately want to fuck around with a creature of the night.
In Search of Absent Pigments by myself and Lin Darrow (the duo behind @shaderunnerscomic), drawn in 2019 for the Come Together anthology.
Thanks for reading.
ever since you posted those ezra and easton doodles all the way back from 2018 in the shaderunners comment section and they've been living in my mind for 1 MILLION years, i was wondering if there are more posts like this on your blog or anywhere else? And if you could share them? I miss scruffy easton so bad you have no idea. you have no idea. god. WOW.
(Also cause I've been scrolling for like 10 minutes and I'm only slightly worried that I'm searching for, like, the One Piece or something LOL)
I'm guessing you mean this one?
There is more Shaderunners art on @shaderunnerscomic, tagged as 'Alex's art' and with whatever character is in the pic. Here are a couple more Ezra/Easton sketches that I don't think I've ever posted there, though:
Enjoy!
It's a few days late, but July 1st was Shaderunners' 10-year anniversary. Today, I'd like to tell you a little bit about how the comic came to be, and what it's come to mean for Lin and me.
Lin and I met on LiveJournal over 15 years ago, and over time our friendship has grown until we could no longer imagine who we would be without the other. Once we shared our work with one another, we became each other's biggest fans, and from there creative collaboration was the natural next step.
We live so far away, when we started working on Shaderunners we'd never even met in real life. When we finally did, though, the time we spent together was so wonderful, we decided to make an effort to visit each other at least once a year. We have been there for each other through personal victories, career changes, relocation, gender transition, heartbreak, loss, creative challenges, and more and more and more. When we started publishing Shaderunners, we knew it would be a big project, but I don't think either of us expected it to last over a decade. It's been such a wild ride, and so many things have changed, but our commitment to the comic and our love for the characters, the story, and to each other never wavered. There is no one I would rather have gone on this artistic journey with than Lin - we are each other's creative soulmates.
Shaderunners is a product of our friendship, and we create it for ourselves and for each other above all, but from the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank everyone who has stuck with it through the years. Now that it's growing ever closer, we hope that you enjoy the story's ending.
Read Shaderunners from the beginning 💚
🌈 Queer Webcomic Spotlight: Shaderunners 🌈
This Pride Month, we'll be sharing some recommendations for webcomics that feature queer characters and storylines! Today, we'd like to tell you about Shaderunners (@shaderunnerscomic), an alternate history noir comic by the writer Lin Darrow and the artist @alexassan.
A thousand years ago, the last colour in the world faded to grey. Now, after a great archaeological discovery, it stands ready to enter the world again. Ironwell City will become the birthplace of a burgeoning new industry, where colour is pumped out of factories, poured into perfumed bottles and sold at exorbitant prices to those wealthy enough to afford it. Now, in the city’s shadows, a group of ragtag bootleggers and bohemians band together to steal colour from the wealthy echelons of the city’s high society. Among them: a philosopher, a puppeteer, a gutter rat, an opera singer, a naval officer – and a hopeless romantic. Together, they run The Glass Dial, former watch shop and future speakeasy, where all the drinks run red.
If you'd like to help support these wonderful comics and the collective, reblogging our posts goes a long way. And of course, make sure to follow this account if you'd like to see more webcomic spotlights like this 🩵🩷 💛

It's webcomic day, and I make a webcomic! A pure labor of love by myself and writer Lin Darrow, Shaderunners is soon to be ten years old and still going strong, now in its final act. If you like the Jazz Age, heists, messy characters, queer romances and anti-capitalist themes, you might like it! Pages go up twice a week, and you can read the whole thing for free right here 🍸

The House Was a Funeral Pyre | Louis/Lestat, 74.5k words, rated explicit.
In the cold grime of 1910 Paris, with loud steps over wet pavement, an inebriated group of young bohemians were exiting a small theater and making their way home. They were shouting, rambunctious with laughter, and one of the men was dancing, bathed in the streetlight glow. He was beautiful. Louis watched from the above in the dark, from the top of the steps leading down to the dirty path. He stood between the shadows, and for the first time in almost one hundred years, felt the draw of the warm light below.
My Louis/Lestat role reversal AU fic is finally complete! There's seven chapters, each corresponding with an episode of season one, plus an epilogue. I worked really hard on this story, and I'm honestly pretty proud of it. If you choose to read it, I hope you enjoy!

Shaderunners returns November 3rd!
The third and final act of the story begins with two pages per week on Sundays and Wednesdays! The chapter is already complete, so updates will be consistent until mid-March at least. Thank you sincerely for your patience while we were on hiatus.
We were originally planning on dropping each chapter in its entirety once it was completed, but after receiving some feedback from readers we decided to return to our previous update schedule instead. We hope that you enjoy the upcoming chapter!
-Alex and Lin
inspired by this post... happy iwtv ep5 day everybody and good luck to us all
