a digital painting depicting Nona and Camilla from the locked tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. they're doing a runner's pose, with one knee bent and the other on the floor, their hands on the bent knees. on the floor next to Cam there's a dictaphone. the background is their dinghy apartment, beige walls with cracks on them, in the bottom right corner the wallpaper is torn, showing bricks. behind Nona there's a poster of two purple flowers. on the wall next to Cam there's Nona's drawing depicting herself holding hands with Cam and Pyrrha. there's a bookcase with a radio on top of it and a cactus with googly eyes. on either side of the bookcase there's an armchair and a chair with a pair of jeans hanging on its back, on the seat of the chair there's a clipboard with sunglasses on top of it. on the wall there's a patch of bright light coming from the window.ALT

Nona and Cam commission ✨ they’re doing morning stretches (pre-Varun). details under the cut

I don’t know when I’ll finish this comic, but for now here’s an Alecto wip

two vertical panels depicting Alecto from the Locked Tomb series. in the first panel she's standing in front of a mirror, staring angrily at her reflection. in the second one she holds her sword with one hand, with the other she holds her long hair, ready to chop it off.ALT
three panels depicting Alecto and Pyrrha. in the first one Pyrrha is standing behind Alecto, who's glaring at her, still holding the sword to her hair. Pyrrha smiles and says "here kiddie, let me". in the second panel Pyrrha is braiding Alecto's hair, while Alecto is still glaring. the third panel is a close-up on Pyrrha's arms and hands, still braiding Alecto's hair. Alecto looks back at Pyrrha, her expression softer now, curious.ALT
three panels. in the first one Pyrrha is braiding Nona's hair in the kitchen while she is eating pikelets. the second one has Camilla washing Nona's hair, Nona's laughing with her eyes squeezed shut. the third panel depicts Nona with the kids, Hot Sauce holding Nona's braid to her face imitating a mustache, while Nona and the other kids are laughing.ALT
two panels. in the first one Nona, Pyrrha and Paul are in Drearburh, lit by two candles, with skulls used as candleholders. Pyrrha is on her knees, holding Nona to her chest, and Paul is holding Nona's hand and saying "it's finished, it's done." in the second panel Pyrrha and Alecto stand face to face, both smiling, Pyrrha holding one of Alecto's braids and saying "you can't take loved away"ALT

what if the vengeful soul of the earth remembered the people who cared for her and braided her hair every morning. what then

(bonus because I know this is what you guys wanted and I’d hate to disappoint)

two panels depicting a coffin in a room with purple walls. on the first panel a dark silhouette is standing in front of the open coffin, where you can barely see a blonde person's head among lilac flowers. on the closed half of the lid there's a plate with strips of meat. on the second panel a hand in a black suit sleeve is reaching into the coffin. we can see the person's head more closely but it's still mostly hidden by the flowers.ALT
two panels. on the first one a hand is reaching from the coffin and grabbing the arm of the person from the previous panel. on the second one the person in the coffin is sitting upright: it's Ianthe. she's grabbing Palamedes' arm, who is bent over the coffin. in his other hand he's holding a broken mask, its many pieces glued back together. Ianthe is looking angrily at Pal and saying "you're fucked, my lad"ALT

So that new short story, huh? (I know Ianthe’s face is supposed to be covered in “bloody kisses”, but they didn’t look right to me. but I did put them under the cut)
