We survived the first week and we're 41% funded! Read our Kickstarter update here

Our supernatural neon-noir visual novel Burn the Midnight Oil still has a little over halfway to go to our funding goal. Keep spreading the word, leave a rating on our itch.io demo if you haven't already, and reblog our posts when you're able so we can reach more people! 🫶✨

Peaceful slumber 🌷🌸

Wanted to do something pretty ✨ I like to think this is Silver's point of view (he's swooning)

[vibatu]

Just a Mhin headshot to figure them out~ Got a Kuras & Mhin idea swimming around in my head for the future and I realized I never truly drew them, so, let's change that.

✦ Deltarune Cards ✦

Created these last year as a class assignment, I was deep in the "DELTARUNE TOMORROW" trenches then, so I made my cards Deltarune themed

Caged Charlatan

I GRADUATED, I'M FREE 🎉Of course the first thing I had to do was finish was the Vere sketch.

As for the idea, I was just thinking about Vere and his lore... he makes me sad. To live imprisoned and chained to follow other's orders. I'll keep exploring methods to create even stronger compositions in the future, but nevertheless I wanted to capture that feeling, mostly through color and overall atmosphere, and Vere's expression. My idea was making a piece where we as the viewers first just go "ooh pretty, graceful..." as a first impression, but the closer you look, he doesn't look particularly joyous or flirty... and you realize, a gorgeous prisoner is still a prisoner.

I shall make a separate post later on with extra words related to the whole "I graduated" thing. So many ideas I want to make 🥀

As a treat, here's some closeups 💖

I had to nerf the file size for social media, my beloved 10k pixels tall monstrosity <3

I got this idea for last year's Halloween, and only now have I finished it. Woops. Also, happy birthday, Keir! (it's been over a month)

Vampire! Vespersona / Vampire Hunter! Keir (6.7k words) - AO3 link

⚠️ CW ⚠️ the game's rating applies imo, but in specific: mention of knives, blood, corpses, cremation and death; angst & denial; it is mentioned in passing and condemned in the fanfic, but a nameless adult character that is NOT part of the main cast is hinted to like children. Please, take care.

There have only been two times in Keir's life when time seemed to stand perfectly still. The first time was when his mother died; the second, when his partner was found dead one early morning. The third and last time came when one starless night, after following the tracks of a vampire for what seemed to be ages, he was led to the courtyard of a decrepit manor, where in the line between the darkest gloom and grey moonlight, things that should have burnt and gone up in ash for the better good long, long ago stood.

Close upssss

The yearnerssss

I think Keir looks like the guy on the left (minus the stache) under the mask while he feels like the guy on the right with that thing wrapped around his face

Stunning lol can't help but wonder if the guy can even breath properly

[whereporygon]

Can't take full credit: the original joke was that the pic on the right was how Keir felt mentally/saw himself, but @vibatu made it better

More dragon bois :3 sketched this in class months ago, decided I wanted to take it further and color it all pretty

✦ Enki & Silver fullbodies ✦

Fullbodies for the dragon guys! :3c I can't really come up with a long post description, other than saying I'm so happy to finally be able to share these <3

Some rambles under the cut~

For Enki, me and Leeni were done with his art for a while now. But I wanted to have both of them posted at the same time. Still, when I finished Silver I revised the piece to polish up any details I missed out. Leeni also got the idea to change the shape of his earfins slightly, so that's a small upgrade!

For Silver, god, he's such a pain (affectionate). What took the longest was figuring out his clothes. It was a careful balance of keeping it fancy but not too fancy, since this is supposed to be his "main clothes", or he's at least he's wearing them very often, so they had to be comfortable looking too. Initially I drew him with a more smug, cocky expression. But honestly it was way too attractive, so I had to tone him down

There had to be a lot of gold, of course. My favourite part was giving him those claw thingies on his hand~

Sprite art by @vaultureculture (a million thanks again for bringing Juno to life 🌷 especially with all that flavor under the cloak that deserves its own post)

So, Juno Montoya a.k.a. Vesper 🏹✨ a plain Jane Doe with absolutely nothing wrong going on with her nor her lineage, and who surely gets everything she wants in life!

Before getting sick, she manned the closing shift at The Grapevine, the family-run bar, and every month hunted in the forest to supply it with game, which is what she was mostly known for topside.

Zoom-ins and further info on Juno below the cut!

Divider by @cafekitsune

✦ In a less roundabout way, Juno is in her early thirties and stands 175 cm (5' 8") tall.

✦ Personality-wise, Juno is to be reckoned with, but also warm and approachable, and has become more reserved since the threat of sudden death began to loom over her head. She still is a witty tease (see: The Bit™), but overall has less enthusiasm and openness than usual.

✦ Twenty years ago, her father got sick with fractum anima and left for the marketplace too, leaving with nothing but a note apologizing for all their grief. She got her love for astronomy from him and left home similarly.

✦ Her "Ideal Partner" is like that because the man she was about to marry a few years ago (a seminarian of the Solar church) broke up with her to resume his studies, after five years of dating, over a letter. It is still a bit of a sore subject for her.

✦ Is a Virgo!

Vespersona with & w/ cloak ✨

Julie d'Aubigny called, she'd like her flair back.

I commissioned @vaultureculture to get a couple of sprites of Juno done, and not only did they catch my vision just right, they elevated it.

The majority of the color scheme and the ribbing on the sleeves, for example, was her idea, and so was the chain and the combination of this mask, the skull of a deer, and some arabesque patterns to make Juno's mask (and also the concept of putting them along the edge of the cloak). Chef kiss, absolutely mad designing skills.

You'd never guess this woman was a barmaid every day of the week and a huntress twice a month, but she has no reason to bring her hunting gear along with her on this trip, to be fair, especially when she has clothes in better condition.

College is driving me insane, recharging batteries by allowing myself to sketch personal stuff otherwise I will go mad 🥀 Have a Vere wip. I'm surprised I managed to get it to look this presentable in one sitting lolol

"what's the worst thing you can do as an artist" is not "shade with black" or "not use references" or whatever the worst thing you can do as an artist is hate yourself. and that includes the person you used to be

[androdragynous]

"look at how bad my old art is" "this was so cringe" "it's embarrassing to look at this" what are you gaining here? belatedly being your own bully? is it more acceptable to hate a kid if it's the kid you used to be? shut the fuck up. be kind to yourself or don't say anything at all. people are really not laughing with you when you mock yourself and if they are maybe consider hanging out with nicer people. imo.

[androdragynous]

this also goes for having your personal blog tags be like "nobody cares (name)" or "shut up (name)" or whatever. why are you being mean to yourself. its not preventing other people from being mean to you just because you get the first shot in it just means you get shot twice. how is that better. how is any of that better
