My art pieces for the 2025 Rusty Quill Big Bang, hosted by @pilesofnonsense ! I worked with @darcydoescosplay to illustrate their fic, Why Are You Still Fighting?

[kricketbug]

These are my pieces for @morning-softness fic, Just Close Your Eyes and Pretend That Everything's Fine ( : I'm so glad i was (finally) able to participate in the Rusty Quill Big Bang @pilesofnonsense, and so happy that I got to work with Anna and @alieu-drawz (who also made amazing art for this)!

This is a sick fic and hurt/comfort, which means we get to enjoy lots of skrunkly Jon (top tier). it WILL hurt your feelings but I've heard it will also pat you on the head and kiss your forehead at the end too if you can make it. Doing some Gerry/Jon/Martin art was so fun!! Please go check it out.

It's Rusty Quill Big Bang time!!

This year I was so excited to work on @organchordsandlightning (aka SupposedToBeWriting)'s fic Space Opera (Wrong Set). I love this fic, it's so creative -- it's very steampunk space opera and that inspired the style of these images, which references woodcut illustrations.

i finally can share my small but fun contribution the 2025 Rusty Quill Big Bang: i had my chance to illustrate this gorgeous story

since the image can give certain things away if you really squint, i am publishing it now, as the corresponding chapter is out 💜

RQ Big Bang 2025!

I had the fun of drawing for Morning_Softness's fanfic Just Close Your Eyes And Pretend That Everything's Fine for the Rusty Quill Big Bang this year!

It was an honour to work with everyone and it was a truly wonderful experience <3
