Came across this little chap while cycling today. It’s a slow worm, a kind of legless lizard. It just suffered a run-in with a predator and lost the tip of its tail, which they can cast off & which grows back. I persuaded it to leave the road so that it wouldn’t be run over by another cyclist.

That Beren postcard looks familiar ... ;) “Beren recovers a Silmaril” (watercolour, 2001), part of my series of paintings inspired by the Lay of Leithian.

Lineart of the illustration for the final chapter of my DBD fic The Case of the Stolen Barrow. archiveofourown.org/works/586340... Since today is the anniversary of cancellation day, a reminder that @netflix.com still owes us a second season of this amazing show. #SaveDeadBoyDetectives

I just put up some new prints at my shop, inspired by #DeadBoyDetectives and Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Please note that the DBDA drypoint etchings and cyanotypes are hand-printed and will therefore all look a little different. Here’s the shop: khorazir.storenvy.com

Companion piece to my drawing of Edwin and his pony. Here’s the link to the other piece: bsky.app/profile/khor... #DeadBoyDetectives #SaveDeadBoyDetectives

Ink and watercolour art of Edwin and his pony, probably during the summer of 1916 before Edwin returns to St. Hilarion’s for Michaelmas Term (for the last time). Hope the poor pony didn’t get drafted into the Great War, as so many horses were at the time. #DeadBoyDetectives #SaveDeadBoyDetectives

Short but hilly mountain-bike ride today near Eibach with beautiful views made special by fast-moving clouds casting shadows on the landscape.

Printed my second Payneland etching plate today, and also made cyanotypes from it. Will bring some of these prints and those from the first plate to the London meetup. They will also become available at my shop lateron. #DeadBoyDetectives #SaveDeadBoyDetectives

Linearts of two Payneland pieces: Edwin with his beloved pony (George imagines it to be a grey mare), and Charles with a wolf/dog he meets while hanging out with his friends (Jayden said his own favourite animal was a wolf, so I extended that to Charles). #DeadBoyDetectives #SaveDeadBoyDetectives

In case you have Tour de France Payneland or Johnlock needs, I’ve got you sorted. #DeadBoyDetectives #SaveDeadBoyDetectives www.tumblr.com/khorazir/788...
