Hi! This is the home of @artbytesslyn and @artdicoi's concept for UNTITLED MONSTER PROJECT, a sapphic graphic novel about monsters! More info below!
Daisy Strangehands is a newly turned vampire trying to figure her shit out in the monster haven of Moonrise City, sheltered in the Carpathian Mountains from a bitter human public. She joins a gang, gets paired up with a werewolf butch with an attitude, and meets all kinds of monsters along the way!
UMP is currently being pitched on the market, but the process takes a while. In the meantime, we'll post comics, art and characters here!
Franc (@artdicoi) is the artist and Tesslyn (@artbytesslyn) is the writer, but a lot of stuff here is super collaborative between us. This is a story we've been making through our entire 8 year relationship! This is mostly just a place to have fun and enjoy some lesbian monster content. Since we're trying to avoid spoiling the book, there won't be a ton of story-based content here. Just fun character interactions and such.
Important things to note:
-Franc is they/them, Tesslyn is she/her.
-We speak English, German and Romanian here! Franc is a Romania native, so questions in Romanian or about the culture of the book can be directed to them!
-This story takes place in Romania but characters are from all over.
-Book One is completely written and thumbnailed, and Books 2 and 3 are planned!
Anyway, this blog is already on Twitter but we wanted a place for it here on Tumblr, too.
After the amazing @jawsstone did their charity stream for Mermaids I was lucky enough to win a prize from one of their raffles from the kind and talented @artbytesslyn! I had the choice of a few different options for these bottles and I just had to pick this gorgeous green potion of healing!
Also, even just off that little glimpse of the artwork alone, you should 100% have a look at ArtByTesslyn's Facing The Sun!!
