(Please overlook my inaccuracies, I am well aware of them ;-;)

Edit: I just want to say, thank you all so much for your overwhelmingly warm and loving response to these pieces. For some reason I just assumed nobody would like these because they are just backgrounds or something. Thank you really, my art usually goes unnoticed but these past months I have been blessed with great responses from the TRC fandom and, honestly, there’s nothing better than connecting with people that love this story and characters as much as I do 🥰

Gansey. That’s all there is.

I was a little reluctant to upload this because it is just so far from the actual canon scene but...

So basically this is a reinterpretation of Adam's sacrifice (to Cabeswater). I just wanted to make the scene flashier and more high-action lol which obviously goes against the whole point of his sacrifice being a parallel to his father's abuse (with the consequences being something invisible yet permanent).

Anyway, I just thought that if this scene was to be adapted to film it would probably have to have a more graphic realization than Adam just uttering the words and standing there; so this is what I came up with. The composition made it hard for me to fit Ronan and Blue in the same shot (as the main actors are Adam, Whelk and Gansey) so I just left them out.

I wish you could be kissed, Jane. Because I would beg just one off you. Under all this.

Electronic music bled into his awareness, reminding him that his body was actually in Ronan’s car. In this other place, it was easy to tell that the music was the sound of Ronan’s soul. Hungry and prayerful, it whispered of dark places, old places, fire and sex.

This was my actual first drawing for The Dreamer Trilogy, back in 2019 when I first read the book.

Edit: I like to think of this drawing as “Apathy in the face of Despair,” as Hennessy is drowning in nightwash. It is pretty much a visual metaphor for depression. I wanted to make the black goo be something extremely thick, like tar, but I also wanted it to feel like something flammable, like gasoline. That is why I love the image of Hennessy drowning in this thick, flammable shit yet still choosing to light a cig because she would much rather feel the pleasure of taking a smoke than acknowledge the goo that surrounds her. The fact that she doesn’t give a fuck is a testament to how deep in this shit she is already.

I am fond of this drawing because when I did it I was actually in quite a good place emotionally, still I empathized with Hennessy so deeply that I just needed to get it out of my system. That is probably what I love the most about Maggie’s writing, just how raw and honest her characters feel. How real they are, to the point where I can empathize with each one of them even when I haven’t gone through the things they’ve gone through.
