Going to surpass this level of detail in the Dunsany illos, apparently. He's worth it. Fewer plant puns though.

Normally, he's the one to drink her blood, but when sick her lover's blood will also do... But if she's not getting better? Got to do what you got to do to keep your favourite servant alive 🙈 mylord.shimaira.com 🖤📚😱🌈📚💙📢📚🌍🌶️📚🩸🌈💜

Am I exhausted? Idk, but falling asleep playing an ARPG seems to indicate so 🙈🫩😪

Semi-regular reminder to artists that you can help maximize the number of reposts you get by adding brief descriptive alt text to your images that gives some idea of medium and subject. You don't have to write a novel to reach out to the part of your audience that relies on alt text 💜

Although Canvas of Scars is a very personal journey not written/illustrated to be 'horror,' the art in it has been described as 'nightmarish,' and that's pretty accurate. If you're looking for something extra dark right now about survival and the nightmares that come with it:

I know we're all stretched thin and trying to manage multiple disasters through mutual aid right now but if you have a few bucks left, my friend's medical horror keeps going and she hasn't gotten any donations in a couple weeks. She sure could use them. Please share gofund.me/44f378445

Me, working from home: <busy in a word doc> Me, suddenly: <insert long string of cussing> Hubs: ah, yes, I know the meme. I know exactly what happened. And yes, that was indeed what happened 🫠

Gonna be me, but playing until 3am (maybe later, maybe sooner, depends on the sleep levels 🙈)

So my book buying ban still lasts until the end of the year, but also this was too good not to snap up, even though I already owned like five of these prior 😂

This is all my state is doing about the situation. Please, please donate to food banks if you can, even donating food if you live in Ohio helps! Kids are literally getting boxes of ramen and macaroni and cheese for Halloween. This is so dire. You can't live on noodles.

Update on the hardback project: - talking about extra art commissions... might total 10 as a friend donated/gave me an early xmas present 💜 - hardback cover assembled 🙌 Left to do: - splice the side and bottom artwork (top was already done) - place all the frames (3x442) into the book 🙈🙈

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others. 🔖 story: mybook.to/RXIIkD 💌 itch.io: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/on-demon-wra...

Sharing this again. I have no physical or emotional energy left for active marketing. There's been a lot happen. So I'll just ask nicely. Please buy my books.

Election day in the Netherlands. Just got back from voting 💪🍅 Here's to hoping my fellow country people won't vote for the class clown and/or bully this time, but considering how many are adult toddlers who fear "outsiders" and/or are selfish pricks… 😩😩😩

One of my besties gave me money as an early xmas present for more art 🥹🥹🥹

I cuss and so do my characters 🙈 Meya even does so in historical ways (the story is set in the 13th century) The amount of cussing def changes per character and situation. 📚💙

Also got to love her reaction to me showing her the sexy art I got of a FMC… Cos she didn't blush or blink at the pose, the smackable butt… No, she got almost upset that she had dark hair cos it was distracting from the rest of the image. Like, mom, the book's published! 😅 her hair's black, cope! 😂

So eh, still doing this... And also commissioning even more art cos my mom convinced me I am allowed to spend the money, simply cos I don't waste any money getting shitfaced every weekend at a bar like so many others seem to do 😂🙈 So yeah, thanks mom! 😘
