Finally sat down and read Lacrimore by @focsle. Super enjoyed it and had to paint something about it.

Doctor Vandorus Lasuri, one of the main characters from the book <3

Commissioned a marvelous Vandorus from @Georginoschka over on Twitter!

[Image desc: A traditional ink illustration of a scowling bearded man holding up a black scarf that's wrapped around his hands. He's wearing a long frock coat embroidered with abstract syringe patterns. A syringe, pair of scissors, and pocket watch hang from chains at his waist. The background is made up of abstracted architectural features in geometric and floral patterns, and three pointed windows with floral medallions between them. /End ID]

There he is, my favorite complicated boy. Character from LACRIMORE. Synopsis, purchase options, all that, HERE.

[Image desc: A blue toned digital illustration of a bearded middle-aged man in profile, cropped from the shoulders up. His skin is a darker mid-tone and his hair is black with grey streaks. His hair is long enough to be a bit disheveled looking. He's holding a light-colored syringe on a chain and is looking at its contents with a slight frown. He's wearing a collared fitted coat. The background has roughly drawn abstracted architectural details. /End ID]

Death of the Author and all that etc. etc. etc. but I also feel compelled to let people know that Vandorus is Canonically Pretty.

“I can feel the maid’s footsteps in my veins as we speak. So light, but there, sure as my heartbeat. I know a bird takes wing behind my eye, and there are echoes of a creaking stair in my inner ear. I mapped your route from the library last night down the tendons of my arm. There’s a sight in this place. And more. There’s the ability to truly know—as Lalichai said—all the wisdom this plane denies us.”

-- Excerpt from Lacrimore [Amazon] [Gumroad]

[Image description: Waist-up illustration of Vandorus and Sivre in a dilapidated room. Vandorus is a bearded middle-aged man with brown skin and black hair, wearing a grey frock coat embroidered with an abstracted syringe design. He’s holding the forearm of Sivre, a middle-aged woman with brown skin and greying dark brown hair, who is pulling away from him with a look of contention. She’s wearing a green vest embroidered with an abstracted candelabra, and has a long red band pinned at her throat.]
