A long while ago a user on here wanted the scene from the Isle of Blood where Will Henry gets his finger lopped off. I could only picture it as a comic, so I thumbnailed the panels. I never was able to return to it due to work, but now I can in bits and pieces.

An old sketch I finished inking and colored digitally. The good doctor and his apprentice finally found a monster that wasn't a spooky human one

I'm as keen on media rep for my particular demographic as the next dweeb, but I cannot emphasise enough now little interest I have in cozy bisexual romances where everybody is well-groomed and mentally normal and lives happily ever after. I want stories about maladjusted bisexual freaks being put in situations.

#pretty much all the characters tbh

I found this bookmark in my thrifted copy of The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancy.

When I originally found the series, I was in high school and on a tirade of consuming as many books as I could to escape the situations I was dealing with in reality. The first book of four stuck with me, but I never read the rest of the series.

Flash forward, and I'm an adult who can do whatever I want forever. Between then and now, my love of reading burnt out with the amount of life shit happening. Life was getting better from being bad, and I decided to read for the sake of enjoyment. I recalled the series and ordered the first. I worried if I ordered the whole series, I'd be too overwhelmed to finish.

My book came in, and in it was this bookmark. Its tenderly made, worn before I used it, but still intact, and bears nothing more than just the message "Never lose your flame".

I devoured every word of the first book and did the same to the rest. Every time I go to pick up a book, I feel so much encouragement to read for enjoyment instead of escaping. Being able to enjoy reading allowed me to enjoy writing as well, and it was all because of a little handmade bookmark.

So, if it's familiar to anyone, thank you for the support. If not, I hope this little story is a bit of encouragement to do what makes you happiest in life and to pursue your passions because it's what you want to do.

Dear Journal,

I found out what lesbian means today, Ella told me at recess. It’s unfair because girls are so much prettier than guys. It’s like comparing a flower to an old shoe. But I’m not a lesbian, almost 99% of my friends are guys.

Shakespeare could only aspire to this level of dramatic irony.

The Monstrumologist

#other people’s art #the monstrumologist #pellinore warthrop #will henry

For @vortex-vipers who requested the part where Pellinore has to dress like his old flame in order to escape some Russian assassins. A++ on committing to the bit by wearing heels he can't even fit. I also love that they casually give Will Henry the gun.

#the monstrumologist #pellinore warthrop #will henry #sketches #Not sure how Bartholomew ended up looking like someone I absolutely remember seeing in real life #he's such a fun guy #my art

I also have a request from The Isle of Blood!

The ultimate disguise of Warthrop donning Veronica Soranzos dress and heels (garter and all)

With perhaps Bartholomew laughing his ass off in the background

Thank you and your art is amazing ❤️

Thank you! I’m glad there is still some fandom peeps on here!

I love this one and I’m adding it to the queue! I’m hoping to get this one done this weekend as the other request ballooned into a massive project idea ahaha 🌸

#requests

Was requested for the part where Will Henry is getting his finger chopped off, ended up wanting to do the whole scene.

Honestly though, I really always liked this part of the book. It’s insane though because when you reread a part 10+ times in a row, you see things completely differently than the initial read. Like…how on earth did Warthrop chop Will’s single finger off? Spread your fingers and you’ll see you totally got a good chance of lopping off your thumb or middle finger too.

#sketches

Hello, may I please request the scene from Isle of Blood where Warthrop cuts off Will Henry's finger?

Yes! I’d be happy to draw that for you 🔪

#what a fun scene #i couldn’t even imagine how terrified they both were #requests

You guys’ tags are so kind! If you have any requests of scenes or such, feel free to suggest some!

I like that Kearns is always a serious competent monster hunter as well as a big ol’ weirdo

If you finished the final descent…..and are in a state then,,,,,that means……..you could want to draw soft pellinore and will henry as father and son……perhaps with a husband for pellinore, mayhaps

James leaves his son with the worst gay couple ever <3

Going back over my old art for all of these characters makes me wince. So making new art feels a lot better

Ahhh the pains of being an artist (old stuff always makes one want to jump off a cliff)
