That would be lovely, but it depends on how my tests look tomorrow - I don’t want to accidentally pass it on!

Finally leaving this cursed flat for the first time in 7 days for a little walk outside (with a mask on) because I am CLIMBING THE WALLS I do think I am starting to look more human again though!

Ngl I thought I would enjoy drawing the red suits more, but kind of obsessed with how the king of spades turned out!

I am, sadly, still ill with Covid, however it has given me the chance to doodle more of these custom playing cards! I’ve now finished all the hearts suit bosses

I’m tempted, but I’d have no idea about how to get it printed! I’d maybe have to do a kickstarter or something

I have Covid, and now that the horrible fever and muscle aches have passed, I’m bored out of my mind! So to pass the time, I’m designing a custom deck of playing cards, for my own amusement

Accidentally rediscovering my inner book goblin and read 8 trashy (but thoroughly enjoyable) novels in the space of 6 days, this is the effect my gremlin of a best friend has on me 😂 Sadly my binge listening must stop as I have run out of audible credits and they cost so much these days!!

So my flatmate eventually took pity on me (my attempts at a new profile photo were not good…) and took this for me!

No, a general email expressing interest is fine! If you want to include further information about your work you are welcome to, but this is not required at this time, we may ask later once we get further down the line. We are trying to make this list as inclusive as possible!

Spent ages working on a custom book jacket for my best friends Christmas, but a printer error at the shop meant it’s the wrong res🫠 and they wouldn’t reprint / refund, claiming I sent the wrong file size, so now I won’t be able to give her a good copy in time for Xmas!

Fathomfolk character art!

First up my three POV characters by @jennicoutts.bsky.social from L-R

Cordelia: seawitch, who knows what side she's on
Nami: know-it-all water dragon, never saw a bad decision she didn't fancy
Mira: exhausted half-siren, fighting every microaggression since she was born.

Over the last year or so I have gotten into drawing characters for my writing projects, it really helps me get a feel for their personalities and stories! This is for my latest WIP, 40K words and counting 😊
