Edwardian Gothic Monster Boyfriend
Expectation:
*bitterly* "Are you afraid? You should be."
Favorite book: Paradise Lost
Hunts and kills his prey in the forest with his bare hands
Bad Boytm
Compellingly ugly
Reality
*on the brink of tears* "Please don't be frightened. I'm not as scary as I look."
"OMG This is just like in my Jane Austen books!"
Has never killed anything in his life.
Actual sweetheart
Just plain ugly
Fan art of @theboarsbride 's best good dude Edgar Ignatius Cushing, from The Monster and the Butterfly, a Beauty and the Beast retelling that cleared my skin and watered my crops.

[Image ID: a digitally drawn bust portrait of a victorian woman with pale skin and shorn dark blonde hair, wearing a high-collared yellow dress with white lapels. she is looking wistfully at the viewer, her mouth slightly open to reveal the gap in her front teeth. there is a significant scar over her right eyebrow and her right eye is covered by a brilliant green-and-gold swallowtailed butterfly with a golden eye-like design on the base of each of its wings. /End ID]
more friendly fire, this time of @theboarsbride of her lead lady from her story "the monster and the butterfly," sophie wickes! i had a blast drawing sophie and i only wish i had gotten around to drawing her sooner--go check out "the monster and the butterfly" on tapas or ao3 💜

Commissioned an Edgar Cushing plushie for myself because he gives me the happiest of thoughts. And after The Monster And The Butterfly ends, I’ll definitely be crying. So…. unofficial FaeCrate Hangover Plushie for TMATB? :3
Edgar Cushing is owned by @theboarsbride

Decided to put the 80s Fantasy Book Covers I've done all on one post cuz I'm pretty proud of them/the progress I've made in just a year
Here's the ones for 2023
(Click for better quality)
@theboarsbride 's haunting gothic tale "The Monster and the Butterfly" which you can read here
@rosesnwater 's lush and lovely "Netvor" a webcomic you can read here
And from last year in 2022
(Also realized both these people are on tumblr so I csn actually tag them and hopefully they like what I've done 😅)
@shannonhale 's amazing "The Goose Girl" which I've loved since discovering it in my middle school library
And @malindalo 's beautiful "Ash" which was the first queer fairytale retelling I ever read and will always have a special place in my heart for that
Definitely recommend reading all of them!
Here's them all together
2023

"...She would run until morning to ease the ache: swifter than rain, swift as loss, racing to catch up with the time when she had known nothing at all but the sweetness of being herself.”
― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
I made a day time version of this image in 2020, and I have made this night version to more fully reflect my vision and growth as an artist.
