Quick sketch of my newest vampire. Unlike Pierce, October is a classic toxic heartthrob vampire with broody antihero problems, a long, bad history with damsels, and he rides a motorbike. In black leather clothes. Oh, geez.
He and Pierce are blood-feuding rivals.
Well, to be clear, October is out to get Pierce, but Pierce has a bit of a weak spot for people who hate him, as it were, so it's a one-sided relationship. On both sides.
I'm tired, so have some Pierce being unintentionally funny.
All of these happened during intense scenes or fight sequences. I didn't realise as I was writing that they're pure slapstick. All the Gothic elements of toxic people, betrayal, loneliness and misery are present in the story, but as Van Helsing puts it, King Laugh refuses to be shut out. Sorry, Pierce, you have a kooky author.
Hiii, just wanted to say hi and ask how your Halloween was?
Have a lovely day/night
- Jam 🐝 ✨️
Hellow Jam, thank you very much for asking! It always makes me happy to see your little frogger picture!
My Hallowe'en season has been bonkers! I was burnt out from Inktober and also the case-of-internet-identity drama came right on its heels.
It's fine, I'm fine, at least I can have a laugh making Sherlock memes about it!
The most spooky thing I did this year was make a bunch of costumes for my stuffed Purrlock and rant about how Kindle had the AUDACITY to recommend me a Christmas romance on November 1st. Me, whose library is full of rubbishy vampire fiction side by side with Victorian horror classics! All good fun.
I hope you had a good halloween & a lovely day/night!
@blackforrestpunk asked @vladimirsangel for a Dracula pinup. Who am I if not a provider of cursed things?
Don't let Aurik see this, please, I have no intention of horrifying him. Unless he wants it for his collection.
Monster pinups are a thing now. Oh yes, I still owe Vlad a Gossamer pinup. (Why is this my life now?) Grinch pinup here.
What are your "Oh no, if people I know read this, they'll be concerned," writing projects?
I don't often talk about these original characters, Lolly and Stephen Wargrave, since their story is quite twisted and hard to make into funny posts. Well, I had the urge to cattify them today, and it's sort of funny, so here they are.
These gory weirdos are brainrotting me now, so maybe I'll blab about them again soon.
@blackforrestpunk and @vladimirsangel ! I drew so many cat comics that they'll need a whole new post. Oh, and there's me:
Vlad, you win Design Choice Headache Award, combats and plaids are no joke to draw. Aiden, gold star fashion choice.
@blackforrestpunk Gruel is served! (Pt. 1 here)
Send this to all your favourite moots and pass the pumpkin round! KEEP THE PUMPKIN TRAIN GOING 🎃🖤🎃🖤🎃
Oh my, oh my, I got two pumpkins!
Mr Pierce took them and made a train for his rats.
why is daroga so fat
Because of magnificent fur:
But I don't generally assign body shapes to my goober cats unless it's explicitly in the design of their human counterparts. So he can be anything you like.
Small cats are not always small characters (case in point: Kitty Cherik). I draw whatever best showcases my perception of the character.
(Drawing is from this comic. All Phantom of the Opera art here)
Oscar Wilde WOULD be a social media fiend. He'd be right at home there. Anyhow, I don't have a head for business, so um, this is my marketing plan.
Apparently, we at Purrlock Holmes Books are not good at marketing, mostly because I put Oscat Wilde in charge. He IS an early influencer and social phenomenon, but he's completely forgotten to do our advertising.
Anyway, the "221B" discount code expires this week, send me your comms this weekend (before March 3rd) to get 25% off your order:
