“If vice had a taste, it would have been that of Nikolas’s mouth: The bitterness of tobacco was mixed with the sweet aroma of cheap beer and a hint of sleep.” Nikolas Vesa and Kilian Morgenstern from Prima Materia — On Matter and Decay by Lance W. Bones (yeah, it’s me!) Book 2 coming Fall 2026. 🥀

I have 2 more slots available for May so if you need some character art or covers by June, this is your chance! 👀 I will prioritize covers and bigger projects but feel free to email me and I will find you a spot 🫶

The moment I invested 70% of my energy into my author’s journey, I started living off my artist’s career. I started creating stories and drawing characters when I was 12. Now I’m planning to make a living as an author, in case I can't draw anymore.

Thanks to a super kind fellow artist, I’m finally offering my services on VGen, starting May ‘26. 👀 My waitlist is now open. Let’s follow each other there!

Look at these STUNNERS. Fresh character art drop from @wendibones.bsky.social! Elias Batesian, recently resurrected revenant and once-Watcher, now wearing his heart-mage's scars and tattoos as magic brands. (A Villain's Hope by S.E. McPherson, book 2 in the Heart-Mage Trilogy)

Lol I totally forgot to post the full illustration for the bookmark here. Nikolas and Kilian turned out so cute and the cathedral design was fun to do 🖤 Characters belong to @wendibones.bsky.social

Anyone available for a character art cover with a detailed framed background for my book? I want a new cover showing the main characters. 👀 No extreme realism. Self recs accepted. I’ll consider the artists I follow first!

“You’re the only one of us who can planeswalk, Remy.” “The only one who’s done it without losing a piece, you mean.” Magister Lady De Veend and Remy Morel from Prima Materia — On Matter and Decay by @lancewbonesauthor (yeah, it’s me!) The book is going wide soon! #darkacademia #darkfantasyart

A portrait of Remy Morel from my debut book On Matter and Decay. It took me a while to grasp his features, but I feel quite satisfied now! I may offer some quick portraits like this one in the future. I may need to practice them a bit more. Magister Morel belongs to Lance W. Bones (yeah. It’s me!)

I got @wendibones book this morning and am so excited to read it, but as an artist, you know I had to peel away the cover and see the designs beneath. Look at this beautiful book! #novel #lgbtqia+ #lgbt #onmatteranddecay

THE HOLLOWED NIGHT. ISSUE 2 INCOMING.

Being allowed to starve or even simply go hungry in 2025 feels like one of the greatest cruelties. There is simply no reason or excuse for any person on this earth to be without food in the world we live in. Not in Palestine and not in America. Not anywhere.

Two artists I had GREAT experiences with were @wendibones.bsky.social for character art and @jbruceart (insta/threads, I don't think she's on here) for map illustration.
