Will draw anthros, OCs, animals, real people, whatever. Will not draw heavy gore (mild is fine), mecha, or heavily detailed armor. Willing to draw NSFW, but may not accept all requests based on my comfort levels.

i actually have a different, angstier idea for a pale lady/captain vampire crossover

[next] [masterpost]

context under the cut:

The dead soldier (and yes, he is dead in panel 1) is Aurelio "Relia" Comanescu, who exists to be beautiful and innocent and die tragically. Relevant quotes:

Relia sighed. “Oh, you’re lucky to have courage. I’m afraid of the crows, brother!” “When the crows arrive, the pain is ended.” “I don’t want to be buried here,” the child groaned. “I want to go back to my own land–Rumanian ground! Who will take me back to Rumanian ground?”

At that same moment, a plaintive moan was heard from Ioan’s side. Relia’s grip relaxed. “Ioan,” he murmured. “The crows...” And he fell, as if struck by lightning, at his friend’s feet.

Kostaki's appearance in the final panel is much closer to how he looks as a vampire in canon:

I saw Kostaki, as pale as I had seen him on the litter; his long black hair, falling loosely to his shoulders, was dripping with blood; he was wearing his usual clothes, but his shirt was cut away at his breast and revealed a bleeding wound. Everything about him was dead and corpselike...his flesh, his clothes, his gait...only his eyes, those terrible eyes, were alive.

There's nothing in The Pale Lady to suggest Kostaki can shapeshift, but in conjunction with Relia's fear of crows it was simply too juicy to resist.

you know what. fuck it. new pinned post. it's time. *clears throat*

hey, you. the tumblr user reading this. do you like:

vampires?

reading fanfiction from fandoms you're not in?

fictional men suffering and being tortured?

learning about obscure french literature?

cool monster women?

The Horrors?

read my webcomic

"what's it about?" glad you asked! it's a crossover of two books approximately 4 people have ever heard of, The Pale Lady (1849) and Captain Vampire (1879), with a bonus cameo appearance from the play Le Vampire (1851), which approximately -2 people have ever heard of. this gives it a vanishingly niche target audience but I Don't Care, this comic is my baby and i want everyone to read it.

set in Romania in 1877, it follows sad gay and recently dead Romanian army conscript Relia Comanescu and his best friend Ioan Isacescu, who are raised from the dead by a smokin' hot bandit vampire prince so they can fulfill their dying wishes: get revenge, and go home. unfortunately for them, neither of these goals is as simple as it sounds. what is home, when nobody wants you? how do you get revenge on somebody who can keep coming back from the dead? and just what does this mysterious prince want with them, anyway?

note: this thang is very much intended for mature audiences. we're talking graphic violence, torture, rape (offscreen but heavily alluded to). read at your own discretion

for something less dark and less obscure you can read my other webcomic, League of Extraordinary Gentlefolk. It's like if League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was good.

“...there are incorruptible judges outside this world; they have received it, have recorded it in their tablet of eternal bronze; it is to them that I have addressed myself to obtain justice, and I believe that I might expect their equity.”

“Today, it depends less on my will than that of the punisher of all perjuries. I would even like to be able to renounce it, but any wishes I might form on that score would be futile; He will not retract the judgment that he has delivered.”
