This scene from Barred With Light by @troskygrave has been stuck in my head for almost six months. Help.

Just a very tender Istvàn protecting Henry.

From what, you ask?

Ssssh you don’t have to think about it, any of it

Answering to prev tag, I made more art about it! About my beloved Hans x Erik

Saw the St Sebastian painting by Delaroche and thought of Henry at Trosky under Istvàn’s tender care. Sorry Henry.

Gore -less version under the cut because I like the cleanliness of the original too, looks very defenseless

Poor mad dog, should be put down…

(First and only time I acknowledge he has grey eyes. It was for dramatic effect, but they remain big and brown to me.)

I can’t help it, if there’s a naked body I have to render it properly…

Incredible scene from Lacerare, Agnus Dei by @troskygrave, so graceful and violent at the same time. I can’t put into words how much I loved it so I think the painting will have to speak for itself

FULL NSFW on twitter or bluesky

Nothing more than a dead mercenary’s lover.

Or the loneliness of grieving the indefensible

Removing all the bells and whistles of post processing this was basically an academic study in pencil (even if digital). It was very soothing to go back to my roots.

Did someone say HENRIK SUMMER

Istvàn over there: 🍿

“It doesn’t smell like you anymore”

Personal stuff under the cut feel free to ignore

I was encouraged by Troskygrave to pour all my grief into Erik so that’s what I did. It’s not a great time, and drawing people in love was difficult. But people in pain? Not as much.

The grief is not 1:1, nobody died, but the person I knew might as well be dead as things stand. So once the rage dissipates the only emotional vocabulary I have left is one of loss.

It’s probably overworked as hell and I’m not really satisfied with the result (it’s inspired by a sketch by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in which the expression is incredible and absolutely elusive), but it’s what I have now.

For extra angst imagine Lifetime by Three Days Grace playing in the background.

Spent a lot of time on a train today, so I decided to do a little postcard for Rattay, it’s such a beautiful idea I love it!!! 🥰 can’t wait to collect all the others during the Fanfest!

It was just supposed to be a quick color study but I got sad and carried away

Illustration I did for the special edition hardcover of Unholy With Eyes Like Wolves by @ghostpoetics!

Can't believe that my job is painting lesbian vampires, and for such an incredible writer 🖤

The beautiful concept and sketch for the cover was done by @sweetchimera-art

This was intense to paint 😳 but I love when my two obsessions collide

Detail:

Based on (a discussion upon) Desideria by @troskygrave

Between them there’s still an imbalance of power, yes, Istvàn has more control, but I see it like an Earth and Moon type of relationship, Earth’s pull is stronger but the Moon still causes the tides.

Back muscles study and just another opportunity to put @acrookedtouchofficial ‘s Tav in a slutty outfit

Pov: you’re a little hare…in the bushes…

Terrible, horrible Künne, belonging to @troskygrave . You can find her nefarious deeds peppered through Desideria and Orexis.
