City and the Beast is a story about a thief trying to find the key to getting his life back on track, about a homeless man who wants to stop stealing lives, and about a wayward biker delivering packages for a shady priest. In the streets and docks of New Coalport the business is booming, shadowy figures are lurking, and you get to experience their double-dealings from at least three different perspectives. Who is the beast and who is the man in this city, and do falling stars really bring luck? Do people need ears to hear, and how can a lawyer cause a basement crack? Read and find out! 

City and the Beast features a lot of mythology, LGBTQ+ characters, fallen stars, eldritch abominations and their timeless guardians, grumpy priests, fancy lawyers, motorbikers, criminals… why pick and choose when you can have it all! :D If you like humour and romance, interwoven with dark themes, epic scale events and black comedy of misunderstandings, this is a book for you <3!

You can read the story for free at our website: www.sharadrass.com :3

Reblogging for Pride Month! :D 

Read free at sharadrass.com ! <3 Boosts super appreciated :3

Time to introduce you to our original erotic novel X3! Any reblogs super appreciated - and we’ll love you so much if you check if out, thank you! :3

[ifailedthem]

Curious, is there any background to the characters in your sketches? Do any of them have names?

Thank you for the ask :D The reply will be in 2 parts because of the image limit per post. Part 1: Most things I post here feature (at least in some way) Shaazgai, which is the fancy lawyer and reincarnating servant of darkness from our City and the Beast books (though the incarnation I like to draw is from Book 2 that's centered on him - in Book 1 he appears a lot but as a secondary character -, and that is in the works right now). You can read about him in his short story High Priests of America though. His life experiences in service to his dark master (Persian god Ahriman) and the centuries of loneliness made him a huge man-ho so I like to draw him banging all kinds of monsters (some of them probably his colleagues). Here's some more proper Shaazgais by me and my partner;

And the two other characters that feature in art that art not random, are Shaazgai's partners from Book 2 (he has more partners, let me tell you lol but, these two are most monstrous which is why they go on this blog). Those partners being:

Erro (that you will find in the books under the name of Nakhti at first), a fallen comet (whose alien form I like to imagine of a glowing star centipede kind of thing) and Shaazgai's soul-mate.

Shaazgai and Erro's fated first meeting (when Erro fell to Earth) where they were supposed to go -Zing- and be forever ever after went terribly, they parted ways for two millenia and now in the story they find each other again, but they still don't understand that they are fated lovers, while still feeling the bond, which it in the story which leads to a lot of strife and unhealthy obsession.

It's a mess in canon but I like to draw all sorts of weird AU things with them including straight up alien shit like this (and the tentacle Shaazgai stuff is implied to be happening between him and Erro, perhaps in some outer space setting rather than on-Earth setting that we have in the book);

Funny thing is that in the story Shaazgai ends up being the one who shapeshifts into something monstrous. I will later also be drawing a lot of that, for now I was in the insect Erro phase :P But my gf drew some of the human Erro x insect Shaazgai;

Shaazgai x Erro is my fave pairing and we also plan to write an anthology of erotic short stories with them when we finish the books, exploring different AUs (and always assuming they are fated for each other, though often with a dark twist).

And then, another recurring character would be Akatash (Aki), but he will go into the next part of this post, that I'll write up tomorrow. Stay tuned ;>

Inspired by drawings presented at Luff’s spiciestspice, here a small gift for Zlukaka. It was supposed to be a very late brithday gift but let’s take it as a starter before I will invest in more suitable colors and a scanner and do something better XD Hope you will like a happy Shaazgai (a character from City and the Beats novel by @zlukaka and @luffik)
