I'll Sleep on the Enemy's Belly

His slap leaves her breathless, her eyes widening at the resounding crack. She sways in place. The pain hits a moment later, so sharp it’s almost numb and she brushes her cheek with the tips of her fingers, blinking. Her eyes well.

Breathing unevenly through her nose, she pushes her tongue to the roof of her mouth, smothering a sob. A traitorous tear rolls down her stinging cheek.  “You’re a horrible, evil man,” she whispers. “And I won’t let you touch me.”

His lazy smile fades.

“That’s no way to speak to your father.”

No matter how much time passes, I'll still periodically return to the universe of ASoUE and draw something.

And recently I had an epiphany. I remembered the final credits of the movie (2004), and I somehow wildly wanted to see such a cartoon. I think that ASoUE are ideal for adaptation in animation, especially in the style of these very credits.

Это вдохновило меня нарисовать их мир буквально из бумаги. В голове я представляю себе анимацию-перевертыш, где все намеренно сделано из бумаги, картона, обоев и других материалов, которые легко горят 😏

Thanks to Alice for the animation style examples

The Baudelaires are children's drawings on scraps of book pages. Olaf is a doll from a paper puppet theater. Aunt Josephine consists of calligraphic elements, and Esme is made of clippings from fashion magazines. And so on.

I also imagine how the logic of the world adapts to the material from which it is made. For example, paper gets wet and swells when in contact with real water, and cut things can be glued together with glue or tape, if you find them between the pages.

In general, I would like to develop and think about everything that is shown in the credits further. Imho, this is a very creative visual and a fresh basis for interpreting events

I have finally finished my edits and additions, and Smoke From This Altar can officially be considered upgraded. I think it's now much easier to read, and the two drawings I managed to rummage up are so cool.

If you're in the mood, consider taking a look on ao3!

Hi friends, I was going through my notebooks full of scribbles, plans, and drafts from when I was writing SFTA and figured it would be fun to share some of the process. I love it when my favorite artists and writers allow a peek behind the curtain, so here’s mine in all its mess!

(The line of Neruda poetry was written using a diluted version of my very own mushroom ink and a bent fountain pen!)

Hi!

I'm currently in the process of heavily editing (and very minorly rewriting) Smoke From This Altar, and once the edits are finished I'd like to go back in and add some fanart at the ends of relevant chapters. I do have some saved from many years ago, but I know it's not everything I've ever been sent, and I'd love to feature as many as possible.

So - please send me any art you might have made if you still have it! I don't want anyone's hard work to be forgotten or overlooked!

Thank you 🤍
