This piece has been affectionately titled My Man's a Noodle since it was just a rough concept sketch, which I feel like is important to know for the overall vibe.

A piece of spot art drawn for @vinvalenzine! Although the version used in the zine is cropped down and edited so dramatically that it's almost a different picture...I did that a lot. For some reason.

(This one goes with Control or The Lack Thereof by @vinjaryou!)

My illustration for the cover of @vinvalenzine! Of all the work I did for the project, this is the piece of which I'm most proud—it's super exciting to finally be able to share it properly!

Vincent struggling with the modern day coffee ordering process. Genesis could be helping, but why would he do that?

This one is my main piece for @vinvalenzine, drawn as the companion to a fantastic fic titled Venti, Vidi, Vincent by my bestie Jess. We had a ton of fun going back and forth with little details between the picture and the fic, getting input from each other, and ended with a really fun final result on both sides.

Vincent with a new chocobo friend, ready to take on the world!

This is another piece drawn as spot art in @vinvalenzine; the final print version didn't include the background and had slightly different lighting to make it stand out better against the graphics used in the zine itself.

(This one goes with Birds of a Feather by @skadren!)

red thread

a future imperfect

once a monster, always a monster. is it better to embrace what you were made to be, so that you can decide what kind of monster you become? eternity may hold the answer.

red thread

who you were matters; what you did has shaped what you are. if you are to atone, atone for the blood you spilled, not the agency you failed to usurp. Vincent Valentine. Turk. Dogsbody. Assassin. Kidnapper. Torturer. Before SOLDIER, before the Wutai war, the Turks shaped the world of corporate espionage, eliminating ShinRa's enemies by whatever means necessary. Who better to become the vessel of Chaos?
