Hi, I`m Herbst. she/36/artist Welcome to my main blog!

I still have a few old valentines, so I’m bringing them out too. Let’s fill the day with a bit more warmth and softness.

The valentine is barely holding on that’s how much love and happiness I’m sending this Valentine’s Day. May your Feb 14 be as overstuffed with affection as this poor valentine. And yes, this character belongs to Dark Carnival | Jinx Moro | BL Novel Translations .

I didn’t make it into the Love and Deep Space zine. Too much going on, too little energy. But now? I won the entire merch set. Cream of the crop. With a cherry on top. 🍒

✨ The story is finished... This piece means a lot to me - not just because it’s MoShang, but because I got to draw it in a technique I adore, with the support of a kind and patient editorial team 💙

Thank you for letting me be weird and sentimental.

“Illusion of Truth” — a full illustrated deck for Ana Sherry. Classic playing cards reimagined through the artistic lens of a author.

Each card has a character. A mood. A visual story born from imagination.

As always, the last ten days of the month turn into a marathon of finishing everything that’s been comfortably smeared across the previous… not even days, but months.

This time, the Lifts got lucky: I finished the cats a few days ago. Now it’s just about putting everything together and signing it. Sounds easy, but in reality — that’s a whole day gone 😂

A winding path through a sunset meadow - the background I painted for Katya Malovski’s book You Don’t Have to Pretend. I drew it not because I had to, but because the scene asked for it. Sometimes beauty is reason enough.

My contribution to wangxianzine drawn alongside Binqiu, yet it feels like it came from another time, another self. A strange echo of something I once felt, now foreign and haunting. Art that doesn’t feel like mine, and yet… it is.

“She stood crowned in silence, dressed in relics of war, as the flames bowed before her. Behemoth purred. The ballroom of the damned shimmered with gold and ash.”

A surreal tribute to The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. This illustration reimagines Margarita’s transformation at Satan’s Ball — a moment of eerie grace, power, and mythic beauty.

Today I lay on the grass and drew nature. Like a real artist. 😆

This place is located within Brest Fortress, near the Terespol Gate. Here, the dark blue Mukhovets River merges with the reddish waters of the Western Bug. There is little water now, so the supports of the old suspension bridge and some snags are visible. I love snags!
