A mostly YA commission- that Iron Widow cover was tricky!

Of these I’ve only read the Narnia, but I liked drawing these. You can get a custom print of your own favourite books here

You were merely wishing for the end of pain, the monster said. Your own pain. An end to how it isolated you. It is the most human wish of all.

There is not always a good guy. Nor is there always a bad one. Most people are somewhere in between.

another dp x dc prompt that will not leave my brain unless I write it down :

tim drake in a desperate attempt to save/revive a loved one (can be batman, superboy, or whoever else) turns to the ghost king for help

danny, meanwhile, already have been warned by clockwork to not meddle with this particular timeline decides instead to help in some other means

#a monster calls #this is very much based from that one dialogue from #tim drake : i called you it was to save her it was to heal her! #danny : i did not come to heal her #tim : yes you did! #danny : i came to heal you! #dp x dc #help in other ways can mean literally anything #but for me I'm imagining gk!danny taking one look at this very depressed and on the brink of snapping teen and thinking : #he needs someone right now #danny would've suggested therapy but from his own experiences he knows that teen vigilantes very much hate that idea thank you #also just me remembering that time where tim tried his hardest to prove batman was alive and literally no one helped him #my boy was all alone during that arc :(( he needs someone and who better than the newly summoned ghost king #could be braindead shipping #braindead shipping #braindead #dp x dc prompt #writing prompts #danny phantom #ghost king danny #tim drake

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

I got this novel a while back without knowing anything about it. Apparently most people I know had read and loved this book, but I knew nothing about it. When I was in the bookstore I decided to pick it up because of course a story with other stories within it and a monster had to get on my shelves, and I am very happy I got it. It perfectly fits in that section of my books that have dark fairytale vibes. The story follows Connor, who one night wakes up exactly seven minutes after midnight, to find a monster out of his window. This monster that takes the form of a tree explains he was awaken by Connor and that he will tell him three stories, and then Connor himself will have to tell a final story. This is the premise for a very touching story about grief and coming to terms with one's negative emotions. I did get a bit teary to the end, but it's honestly a very soft story. I don't even know if soft is a word that makes sense, what I mean is that the subject that are discussed in this book are told in a very delicate way that makes them approachable without making them feel overwhealming, but still hitting very hard from an emotional point of view. As you might know I love the trope of stories within other stories, so that was a great bonus for me, and the darker tones of the story made it perfect for fall. It's a book I would very much recommend, especially for autumn.

I don’t have a type…

Ok I absolutely LOVE any media when there are themes of grief, love, loss, death, mortality, morality, self discovery, etc. When it revolves around family or some sort of family unit and there’s a bit of ✨magic✨ like some sort of supernatural force, a curse, or an ambiguous/ unconfirmed magic source. It gets me hooked EVERY time it is so specific but I live for it.

Some close-ups of a recent commission. Some very fun/tricky covers to draw!

I’ve only read one of these ones, I don’t think there was much YA literature around when I was a YA myself actually.
