preview of my piece for @tltfashionzine 💀

illustration of Mercymorn the First from The Locked Tomb series. she's a young white woman with long, brownish pink wavy hair. she's wearing a long red dress with puffed sleeves and an iridescent robe on top of it. beside her, there are photos of dead apricot trees. the dried flowers are the same color as her hair. there's also an excerpt from Harrow the Ninth that reads: You noticed the colours first, beneath that harsh and unlovely light: that the hair was a dead flower or apricot colour.

another illustration of Mercymorn. she's wearing a brown leather waistcoat and a brown knee length dress. in her right hair she's holding a sword which is resting on her shoulder. she has a bright pink crown braid. on the left there are two images: one is a picture of peaches, and the other is the peach color. there's another excerpt from Harrow the Ninth which reads: she had bound back her peach-coloured hair as though it were a wimple.ALT
another illustration of Mercy. she's wearing a long, slit side reddish brown dress. in her right hand she's holding a glass of wine. her hair is bright orange-red. next to her there's a photograph of a yellow rose and an excerpt from Harrow the Ninth which reads: The Lyctor at his left was combing out her hair—it tumbled in a heavy mass around her shoulders, that curious heart-of-a-yellow-rose colour, that pinkish, reddish, goldenish shade that was not entirely appealing.ALT
