I found the full image of the beastiary I did for the SCP wiki

These were so much fun to do and perhaps I will try to do more in the future.

Caaan we know more about Denis? Like what does DIMV stand for? And how do they get along with other anartist/do they know people like Ruiz? ^^

Thank you so much for asking about them OMG 🥺

Denis was an orphan who only had his name Denis, no surname nor nothing so, he met people in his life, mostly his art teacher who considered them their own kid. This teacher was the one who taught him all about anart and there he developed his own techniques.

DIMV is the achronym of the names he took. Denis Ignatz Meier Vogel. Meier Vogel being her teacher's surnames and Ignatz being the name a grandma they met in one of their journeys gave them.

They barely know any other anartists like Ruiz or Pico, he knows about AWCY? but prefers not to interact with them. They are kind of a lonesome person but gets along rather well with kids.

Denis is quite eccentric but they change a lot in the modernity.

If you want to see what kind of art they do you can look here.

Demon in My View was started on my much beloved Mac, but transferred to my beloved IBM Evita-- a desktop IBM with Windows 95-- after Mac's final fatal fall.

Demon is a story I have written many times in many ways. The core plot is a very simple one: The main character, Jessica Ashley Allodola, is a teenage writer who discovers that her characters are real. Needless to say, as a teenage writer, even before I was published, the idea intrigued me.

Demon's first incarnation was begun in the same blue CVS notebook as Forests. It included bookstore scenes where Ash was visited by her character in a creepy interlude during a book signing... where her "fan" began to speak to her about her characters, about things the fan has no right to know, and indeed about things Ash isn't even quite sure of herself.

By the way, this happened to me during my Demon tour, I swear. If you happen to know who the young man in the burgundy velvet suit-- not sweating in the middle of July-- who came up to me was, tell me. I lost his email...

Another incarnation of Demon's storyline involved a lot of online interaction, as I played with the possibilities of the internet-- where you really have no idea who you're talking to, where people share more information then they ever would in real life and where people can be almost anything they want to be with the virtue or a screen name or a yahoo ID.

Yet another version was actually finished, with a different breed of vampires. The main character in that one was not a writer, but many scenes-- including her confrontation with Dusk, the powerful vampire who has confronted her-- were used with minor changes in Demon in My View.

On my first day of eighth grade, during one of the endless assemblies, one of my friends made a quip about "bore the students to death day." It was a quip that prompted me to start writing to pass the time, inspired Jazlyn's first day at school, and thus caused me to begin writing what would be my second novel. (Yes, at this point the protagonist was named Jazlyn. The change will be explained later.)

Demon had two major plot problems: One: I had no idea how Jessica *did* know what she knows about vampires and their world. Two: Why didn't they just kill her?

So, needless to say, the little demon crept from beneath Esc and burrowed into my brain. I ranted to my friends, most importantly my friend Jessica, my most loyal reader-- this still before I was published, when only my friends read my work-- namesake for about a dozen Jessicas, Jessies and Jess's, and a great fan of Aubrey's. She made a demand: "I want you to hook a Jess up with Aubrey."

And inspiration was found. Jazlyn's name was given to her mother, and Jessica's name was given to my protagonist. Quickly the book was finished, Jessica was thrilled, and since by this time I had a contract with RandomHouse, I had another book to give them. Life was fine.

FunFacts about Demon in My View:

Demon's working title was "Bitter Life," titled after a poem of the same name written by Jessica.

Demon's musical inspiration came from 3rd Eye Blind (Jumper, London, Burning Man, Narcalepsy), Garbage 2.0 (especially Push It) and No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom" album. Originally it mentioned Jessica listening to Jumper as she wrote and waking up to the line from No Doubt's "Spiderwebs": "Now you go too deep... you wake me in my sleep."

Demon was written half in my red reclining chair (while I worked on Mac) and half in the basement, as my sister and cousin painted the laundry room next door. By the end of those few weeks, they hated Garbage, and could sing the four songs from the album nearly by heart.

Demon originally contained scenes between Jessica and her mother, scenes between Jessica and Siete, and all sorts of fun stuff in bookstores, but most of it ended up removed. :(
