Someone Challenged Me To Write A Romance.

Making a Nosferatu bag. Paused and went, "Oh no, it's Bitsy!"

Do you see it? Yes?

Yes.

Vampire Bitsy:

Thank you, @frommarshtheycome @blackghostm2o & @vladimirsangel for the tags, I'm honoured 😭 10 favourite films in GIFs:

For someone who claims to be a vampire, I react very badly to getting my blood sample taken. Once, I looked so horrified that the nurse was afraid I'd faint and gave me a juice box.

So when I was editing this story just now, I was squirming in my seat. (This is not the worst scene. The other one is a spoiler, so wait a few weeks - if you actually want to suffer through it, that is, and if I actually stick to my plan). That probably means I've done my job well, but WHY did I do this to myself?

Content warning: blood, needles, mild body horror, strangulation, decapitation, Sarah being Sarah and enjoying the gore a bit too much

Feel free to tell me what you think, I'm not holding a sword. Or a needle.

Thank you @windforkthewriter for sending a 💀 in my asks for an excerpt!

Phantoms of the Opera + Laplace's Angel

@sonntagskind Voilà, request received. To everyone else should did not ask for Phantom pain, je suis désolée.

More Phantom: The Persian (cat), POTO adaptation review/rambles, Send me an Angel (of music)

Holy crisps.

Storyboard done. Got out the calculator, and found out I have to do around 100 panels of Cat Phantom drawings. (It's an animatic based on the song "Love me Normally")

Please regularly come to yell at me about this project because I really want to finish it, but I don't know it I have the strength to do so.

Break time. I hope you've all been secretly wanting to see Cherik in a corset because, eh, that's what's happening now.

Tiny Erik is here to say cheers to you!

His hat looks CURSED off-camera, so I gave him some juice (it's Lego, and I can't say how much I love that piece). He still looks a little frightened and brain-off, as Aiden says, but I think he's buzzing inside about so many good stories about him!

Konrad and I have just proofread chapter 29 of the webcomic. I'm so incredibly happy that I've covered the next 10 months with enough comic chapters.

My visit at the doctor today was pretty sobering. Tomorrow I'm going to see another doctor for other problems.

Due to my state of health, it took me about 4 weeks to draw chapter 29. I'm currently putting off the next 3 bonus chapters. No energy for storyboarding.

But I am soooo happy. Chapters 16, 17 and 18 are already prepared in Tapas. I can't wait to read what you have to say. 😍✨✨✨

Too tired to draw, so I'm whipping out this old thing. It's me and the geniuses I share joint custody of a braincell with - @blackforrestpunk and @vladimirsangel . If you feel particularly un-brained today, it's probably my fault, I was forced to pummel the braincell because of a series of circumstances that led me to interview a vet and snail around on public transport for hours. But I had pizza, so that was all right.

(See here for context)

Some time ago, I said to a friend (you know who you are) that Cherik had a big sword, and I remember this meme by @1loveonelifetime

Of course, I had to make a Kitty Cherik version.

More POTO cats drawings here!

Wrong answers only: What's Erik saying to the Persian?

I found this among my Pharoga doodles (don't ask; they'll come up to menace you soon enough). I've clean forgotten what I was going to caption it. It looks like ✨️drama✨️.

So, wrong answers only: what's going on?

(More Persian and gremlin bald cat Erik here and here.)

If a pole dancing vampire isn't what you wanted to see today, you know better now, yes?

My vampire Pierce knows how to pole dance. I'm not sure what to do with that information, but it's there. He did ballet, that's actually plot relevant, but this... Well, he's having fun.

(I have a lot of less unhinged WIPs on the way, but I'm low on vivacity right now, I need to drink blood)
