“All my life, I've tamed myself to not frighten others. Sometimes it is fun to let the lion out.” - Virginia Au Augustus.

I love her so much so of course I had to paint her.

"No matter how you've romanticised him, Kaine Ferron is not a person. He is a monster."

It's such an immense pleasure to paint this as part of my Unbound for Gaza commission. I started with an idea of a menacing Kaine but he always turns into something more tragic. But then I thought, well if he has to be tragic at least make it couture.

Day to his Night. ❄️

I loved Ep. 5 so incredibly much and there was something about Ilya out in the cold, breaking down his own defenses and confessing his feelings with the sombre Moscow backdrop. I had to paint a character portrait.

“I’m not fragile. I am not going to break. Please believe that about me.” - @senlinyuwrites

"Heroism is something for others to perform for the masses. Intelligence work-our work-is breaking people open by whatever means necessary to reach their secrets. That is what you are a part of now."

"She dressed in civilian clothes that were as nondescript as possible. With her hood pulled up, hiding how dark her hair was, she was hardly memorable. Just a person trying to stay out of the war's path." - @senlinyuwrites

Any guesses to who it is ?

I am living off of crumbs - I read the Cosmopolitan article with @senlinyu yesterday and it had a little treat. | did want to color in her dress but I also couldn't decide on a poison green shade and lost that battle.

ONE. WEEK. I’ve never been more excited to hold a book in my hands @senlinyu.

"Someday I am going to love him in a moment that isn't stolen."

CONGRATULATIONS to our lovely @senlinyu for such exciting news yesterday. I'm still in disbelief that maybe one day, we get to experience all our unraveling emotions again but on the big screen. Meanwhile, I beg of you, excuse another sketch. I promise to actually paint these soon in moments that aren't stolen. 🥀

“Her eyes were dead. There was no fire in them. The spark that she regarded as most intrinsic to who she was had gone out.” A quick sketch just to pour more love into Alchemised. @senlinyuwrites recently took pity on me and allowed me to capture Helena with more accuracy. I usually don’t post my digital sketches on here but I was quite happy with this one - you can see my indecisiveness with some of her features but I think this is closest to how I imagine her.

"If he's a monster, then I'm his creator." - @senlinyuwrites.

Kaine Ferron, I promise to try not to be wholly obsessed with you but I am already completely enthralled. Can you hear all of our hearts pounding in unison as we enter September?

Painted exclusively for @senlinyuwrites, this piece titled “Rose in the Graveyard” was my attempt to capture the essence of Sen’s masterful world of Paladia amidst the sombre blues and dying reds.

“That was the thing about war: every clash, every battle, brought each nearer and nearer to the other.”

“He looks different, don’t you think? Draco? Almost ill.”

a redraw of my very first dhr drawing I posted to twt 4 years ago, with the same caption. I was snorting dramione from the beginning

“I always have to choose, and I never get to choose you. I’m so tired of not getting to choose you.” - @senlinyuwrites

As we erode with the passage of war under the ever present shadow of the reaper, what is there that’s left of us in the end?
