Everything about this drawing makes me happy, but the detail that makes my Undead heart sing is the yellow-covered copy of Dracula. It's the 1897 edition, designed to evoke the appearance of the 'yellowback' - the cheap sensational fiction sold at railway stations at the time. Dr Watson was mentioned reading one in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. (Above is the miniature version I made for my haunted dollhouse.)
Cover me in sunshine...Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world's been spinning since the beginning....And everything will be alright
What can I say, my little nosferatu loves yellow. Get some sleep, Aurik.
watercolour and gouache with coloured pencil detailing, a little white ink for highlights.
Three people - um - friends - um - menaces to the general public (yep, that'll do) getting together to solve a murder over coffee. One of them is only holding theirs. Come on, guys, feed the vampire.
Saw a drawing template by the brilliant @albanenechi and thought, "It's my goobers!" and decided to try it on my dubious people-drawing skills. More to come.
Today, I worked on my most disturbing writing project that, if illustrated, should look like this:
And then I walked past a mirror and realised that, I kid you not, I looked like this:
Fudging reindeer Christmas pyjama bottoms...
I should rebrand myself before people decide I'm the "last person you'd suspect"-type horror movie villain.
Wanted to draw something but my holidays end tomorrow and I'm as motivated as an undead potato right now.
I've already got around 1,800 things to do in the first week back, it means I have to visit basically every office on campus and it's going to be absolute shite.
What's not shite, at least I hope not, is this fresh upload:

(I don’t know why the link looks like that, just my luck, my Internet is messing with me right now)
Anyway, enjoy a Frankenstein Monster having a crush that doubles as an existential crisis while I go and try not to turn into mash.
Erik.
(More Woolly Erik here)
why is daroga so fat
Because of magnificent fur:
But I don't generally assign body shapes to my goober cats unless it's explicitly in the design of their human counterparts. So he can be anything you like.
Small cats are not always small characters (case in point: Kitty Cherik). I draw whatever best showcases my perception of the character.
(Drawing is from this comic. All Phantom of the Opera art here)
*gestures vaguely* And here are my horrors.

If you end up reading it, let me know what you think, I wish for your feedback!
If you want to share your writing, send me the link, and I'll give you a follow, kudos, crumpets, whatever it is you people do there (lordy lord, I feel like a relic)
I think my profile picture deserves a spotlight:
I drew this with a pen on its last gasp:
Obsessed with the clean 6-inch gaps between them. @vladimirsangel I love your Pierce, he looks like a Christmas elf beside the others, bless him.
And of course they are talking about chicken.
Dumb sketches because I got obsessed with their height differences. Sorry it's so rough but my brain is like tangled wool tonight
Feel better soon @purrlockswatson!
Have a better day @blackforrestpunk!
(I don't know what they're talking about. Something fun)
Susan Kay's Phantom // L'Opéra des Vampires by me. (Full except and context below cut)
I haven't yet uploaded this part of Gothic Tales because this "tale" is undergoing severe redrafting, but this scene stands thus:
(Anyway, chapter one of Gothic Tales is up on AO3!)
My Erik is very talkative. I also had to take care to make him more gremlin, since he's often too wise and sad.
I think a lot about how Madeline swore to change when it's too late. Maybe it wouldn't have been different anyway. Maybe it would have been too late even if Erik didn't leave that night.
I used to be mad that my star sign's ruling planet is Jupiter because the god Jupiter is a bit of a cur, but LOOK! I made little stimming paws when I saw this!!
(Side note, no, Meta, I'm not using the fudging app, you sneaky little fopdoodle.)
(Reaction image is BBC Purrlock)
(Oh wait, I've actually drawn Jupiter/Zeus as a cat!!)

@blackforrestpunk @vladimirsangel and a fungal guest who has escaped containment.
The only context I can provide is the Zombie Aiden drawing. The rest is what happens when you let people communicate almost exclusively through jokes, art, and hyperfixations.
