A series of messy, messy doodles I did for an original story meme that I never got around to finishing, based on my Neo-Victorian Vampire Epic-in-the-Making, “Carpe Noctem”. @,@ 1.) Setting the scene. 2.) The Protagonists (left to right): Cadmus, Caroline “Caro” Carlisle, and William “Liam“ Glassing. 3.) Supporting characters (left to right): Evelyn Carlisle , Stephanos d’Sainte Jeanne, Nurse Veera Lakshmi, Archne . 4.) The Traumatizing childhood: Remember that time when you walked in on your mother being eaten by a vampire? No? Maybe it was just me, then. 5.) Minor antagonists: Nurse Angeline Fairfield, Avery Halloway and Caro’s phobia…mice.

Gregory Keyes. Another rough for what may or may not become a finished illustration some time in the future. You know you’re going to have a good time reading a book when the ambiguous trickster god refuses to address your male protagonist by his name the entire story, opting instead to refer to him as “Pretty Thing”. Karak, you rock. XD

Gregory Keyes. This is a rough for something I might possibly paint in the future, provided I get off my lazy ass and frickin DO IT, based on a particular scene in “The Waterborn” by J Gregory Keyes. IT’S SO BROMANTIC. D: Perkar and Ngangata, best bros forever!
