Harrow and one of the most gut wrenching quotes ever conceived

A portrait of Mercymorn the First from the locked Tomb series. She's in front of a black background with a white halo behind her. Rays of light emanate from the halo, giving it the effect of a solar eclipse. 
She's surrounded by flowers, blue daisies, pink roses, lily of the valley and wood sorrel. 
She's frowning at the viewer.  ALT

“Yuck! Pfaugh!”

If what you feel is new,
That’s just first bloom
(Who are you? Where are you growing to?)
As you inch towards the clues
Bless whatever brings you here and to

this started off as a quick companion sketch for my Nona (& Friends) playlist, but of course became something much more involved. If she’d had a portable tape player, I feel like Nona might have taken some moments to relax like this.

Only funny to me
Kind of mean

A portrait of Augustin the First from The Locked Tomb series. He is in front of a black background and surrounded by flowers. The flowers are astilbe, purple asters and orchid cacti. 
His expression is slightly sullen and hard to read, he isn't looking directly at the viewer. 
He's wearing a white dress shirt and a black tie. His suit jacket is absent. 
Behind him is a faded blue halo, rays of light emanate from it, giving it the appearance of a solar eclipse.
The picture is kept in cool, blueish tones.   ALT

Cytherea as Dulcinea, lounging in her sickbed, dressed in torn blue-white sheets, stained with blood that seeps out from her chest. Behind her is mirrored the shadowy form of Palamedes opening the door. This drawing is illuminated in the form of a medieval text, with a sheaf of blue green leaves arched over the top. Bottom center is a stylistic interpretation of a ribcage with blood seeping on it. Left and Right are dark blue columns with a base of blue-green waves. On left is a layer of blue & white thorny vines, a layer of blue green flower bulbs, a layer of white flower bulbs, and the words "for the beauty that withers and dies" twined in red script around the vines and flower bulbs. Right is a layer of vines and blue green leaves and one large flower bulb, and illuminated text, with flower petals and leaves twining into the text, are the words "You’re going to die spewing your own lungs out of your nostrils, having failed at the finish line because you couldn’t help but prattle about why you killed innocent people, as though your reasons were interesting…" Bottom center is a stylistic interpretation of a ribcage with blood seeping on it.ALT
