Children of Asgard

Personal works from my "Asgard" project (which has nothing to do with Marvel), along with commissions and professional work. All work unless otherwise stated is (C) K.McCarthy

Hey long time no walk. I’m getting into the writing swing again and will hopefully have more OC art soon. However I was scrolling through old stuff to find a thing and noticed a bunch of things have been labeled “sensitive” for seemingly no rhyme or reason? The Fuck?

bury me shallow i’ll rise with the sun

So I’m still here! Still making things, but have been moonlighting in fandom because, that has been, for some reason, easier? I’m getting the hunger for Asgard again, though. On the bright side, I can come back to it with fresh perspective!

Calling all artists!

If your commissions are open and you do draw OC’s, please reblog this post! 

If you are not an artist but know of one, please reblog this and tag them or just mention their url in the tags! 

And hey, even just reblogging helps! I will be keeping a comprehensive list of artists who can be commissioned to draw characters/OC’s on the blog!

Book three sees Abe and Fen at some point or another having to address the subject of violence with Kid, as Kid is gentler and not as ready to resort to getting physical as either of them. 

Originally when I’d thought about it, Abe was going to talk about how he and Fenrir were old, and those ways of warfare were aging with them, hopefully off the map and into stories.

But the thing is, they won’t. They aren’t, I’m watching it now with my own two eyes on TV. When is violence acceptable and just and when is it a shameful abuse of power? 

So that talk with Kid is changing into what is necessary, what can you live with, in order to protect what and who you love from forces that would rather see them mistreated, imprisoned, or dead.

Soft As Thunder

Helen stood in the kitchen, staring at the CD player on the counter like it was a dog showing his teeth. She folded her hands.

E-flat. C-minor. E-flat. A-flat.

She closed her eyes, tracing the notes with their sloped tails from memory. Soaking in the gentle background of string instruments.

"So what did you do before, you know, you met? What was different?" Cecilia asked from her clean white chair with the expensive trim, her glass earrings swinging gently.

Helen shrugged. "Not very much. I went to school. I went to the beach. That was what you did."

"What did you go to school for?"

Her stomach churned. "Music," she said to the oriental rug.

"Ah, did you play an instrument? Did you sing?"

Helen picked at the nailpolish on her thumb. "I sang. A little." Liar, 'a little'. You were a state finalist. Four scholarships, count 'em, sister. You couldn't breathe without doing it from the diaphram.

Shut that shit off. You think you're good at this? Get another job and make some money for once.

Crack.

Helen jumped, looking towards the living room with her heart in her ears, her hands gripped around the back of a chair.

A boy streaked past the window facing the street. "I got it!" he yelled, bringing back the ball.

The CD player made a soft squeaking sound as it rewound.

E-flat. C-minor. E-flat. A-flat.

Helen straightened, eyes on the empty living room. She sucked in a deep breath, exhaled.

"Does it still interest you? Maybe you should take lessons again," Cecilia suggested.

I taught classes. I taught my son. "Maybe," Helen answered.

E-flat. Helen opened her mouth, air ready to roll over her tongue.

The neighbors can hear you, Helen. You'll make the dogs bark and Hernando will get pissed. I'm not helping you if he comes over here.

C-minor. E-Flat. A-flat.

Flat like a hand against her cheekbone, sharp.

Her voice curled at the back of her throat like a hand, refusing to budge.

Anger made her tears hot. The chair creaked under her hands as she glared at the couch in the living room. Ten years since they'd put him away and he was still here.

Peter holding her hands. Soft and careful even with the calluses on his palms. "I know some good therapists, darlin'. Say the word and I'll get their numbers." They hadn't even so much as kissed on the lips yet.

The notes came out of her low and ugly and wet, tears salty on her mouth.

But the tigers come at night.

Random inspiration has struck and now I’m doodling sexy angels. If blasphemous angelic beings isn’t your thing, filter:  #blasphemous angels

They’ll also be tagged as nsfw so if you’re already doing that, you’re ahead of the game. If I follow through with enough of them, I might make a little art book.

Modern!Guthrie. I started drawing him in a plain hoodie, but then I found one online that was reminiscent of his fae court clothing and had a sexy crisis. So. Here we are. He's probably smoking in the alley outside the tattoo shop and somebody's apprentice is trying to shame him.

[childrenofasgard]

I haven't had time to doodle Valentine's day stuff, but I want to gift you with the mental image of Fenrir lewdly singing "Whole Lotta Love" to Abe.

So I’m looking at making a Patreon and am a bit overwhelmed. I’d like to do it for:

1. Making sure I’m creating regularly. 2. Sharing content with people who care about it. 3. A little extra income for emergencies and top surgery.

What’s your experience with Patreon? As a patron, what are you most satisfied with?

Sketch of a new scene I doodled for ink practice later. The shirt is flannel, hence the commentary. It’s also too small for him :P The last owner had a bigger belly and smaller shoulders.
