Night at the Vampire Castle- Previews (Patreon)

My art is now featured in a real published book, coming out this month! I'm very hyped about having the chance to contribute some illustrations to Hari Conner's Night at the Vampire Castle. This is a collab post with Hari, to give you and their patrons an exclusive look at my art of the bonus romanceable characters in the book.

Hari is one of my wonderful online ‘studio’ mates, we share our daily plans and progress over discord (and usually shout at eachother to rest). You may know them from their finished fantasy romance webcomic Finding Home, or maybe from their graphic novel I Shall Never Fall in Love, a Jane Austen inspired queer rom-com. OR from Into the Dungeon/Into the Tower, choose your own path games which I find so delightful. 

Hari’s characters feel so grounded and alive and interconnected, I am always charmed by everything they make. They strike such an excellent balance between the sobering real struggles of the characters, and light hearted moments where they get to just be silly and have fun. ALSO the art- absolutely edible forest and countryside scenery, and Hari, like me, goes kinda nuts on research, so their regency graphic novel is just insanely good. 

(It is SO funny I love it)

Night at the Vampire Castle:

For me these bring back the feeling of playing the goosebumps choose your own adventure stories, but with less deaths (maybe?!) and also the option to date the monsters. It kinda feels like playing a visual novel/dating sim with many different romances and paths, but it’s on paper so it smells really good and you can get a pencil and tick off your achievements. I love this format okay.

Along with the main three characters, there's a bunch of side characters you can befriend and sometimes romance, and the two characters Hari asked me to draw turned out to be my favs, I am nothing if not predictable :P.

They say:

I love getting in touch with artists who have specialties in the exact thing I'm commissioning them for, eg. queer suggestive drawings of men with heart and depth, B&W ink style, outdoorsy characters with a lot of emotional nuance, sexy werewolf, etc.

You can order it here!

Here is my final art for the book!

Andrei -

Andrei is my absolute favourite guy, he's kind, sturdy, has a car. Please save me from this chaos.

Look at him. Waow.

Luka-

The goodest boy, has a collar and everything.

A little text preview! I've loved reading Hari's more adult stuff, its excellent >:).

You'll probably recognise a lot of the other artists if you follow me, a lot of us do nsfw stuff ;).

Order it here!
Thanks for reading :3
