Hello, all!
So, since it's been awhile since I've posted any updates here, I thought I'd come share a few of the things I've been working on.
1. "Nebula." This is a crowdfunded digital painting, and seems to be coming along nicely. The landing page is
HERE, where you can contribute to the project and see updates as they are made. US-based contributors will get complimentary prints!
2.
Memoirs of a Tourist. "The story of one ancient and young, a far-traveler who walks in eternity, the realm of pure potential, the realm of infinity." This started out as an OC I created for role playing on Tumblr, but she took on a life of her own, so I decided to give her a place to tell her story. I've got a few entries up, little blurbs and drabbles and thoughts of the character, but I'm going to start the actual story tonight. I've plotted out the first full storyline already and am literally itching to get into writing mode. There will also be sketches, drawings, and paintings pertaining to the storyline, and the project is open to contributions to help support it. Here, have an excerpt from some of the existing writing:
Dreams, too many dreams that sear themselves across my consciousness, choking me, smothering me. I gag at the stench of burning flesh as smoke blinds me. A layered, maddened scream tears through my hearing, shattering into laughter that sounds like broken glass scraped over stone, and I turn my head, feeling a sticky wetness against my cheek, trying to see the source of that chilling scream, though my stomach coils in horror at the thought. All I can think of is Run. Run. Run. But I can’t— they won’t allow it, these youthful and ancient men with insanity in their eyes that stand around my prone form. I just want to wake up. I am drawn from my burned and broken body like a last breath. I see a stoppered bottle from blurred vision-- how can I see with no eyes? It is an ornate thing, this bottle, gilded, filigreed and encrusted with amethyst, something that might hold perfume. It is so much larger within. This will house you temporarily until an appropriate body is found, they say. You will forget, they say. But you will remember one day, and when you do, we will be waiting. There is a liminal echo of command, of threat to their words.3. I am once again holding Discounted Character Portrait Days! I'm open for $10, greyscale, head-and-shoulder digitally drawn portraits until next Friday, 5/17. Check out the landing page for this project to request a portrait commission.And, that's about it for now! I hope everyone is having a fine week.
