My most anticipated book of 2025 was #Alchemised by @senlinyu.bsky.social and I knew that I would need to draw something for the story. I posted this a while back on my Instagram but am now sharing it here! Hope you all like 🥀

Kaine Ferron in a black robe and Helena Marino are standing with their back to each other, heads lowered. Between them is a Shadow of their kissing silhouettes.

For years people made fun of big tech for inventing things that already exist and they responded with their magnum opus: inventing fascism. Incredible work

I wonder what you could have turned into without the war 🌹

the pursuit of moralizing fiction is in fact a fascist movement and more importantly, it seeks to deny individual thought by replacing it with group adherence. if your morals are broken by a work of fiction, your morals were not real in the first place.

hear me out, THIS time "finding some fictional element from pop culture that mostly women like and deciding it should be destroyed because it's... making society immoral or something" is DEFINITELY going to get us back on the good timeline. we just need these chicks to see reason

It's fantastic to see all the love that #Alchemised is receiving, congratulations to @senlinyu.bsky.social ! I'm really honoured I was asked to draw two #maps for her dark fantasy story 😊

INTERVIEW: with author SenLinYu Author SenLinyu has been a semi-anonymous force in the speculative fiction fanfiction spaces for years, where they developed their dark and unflinching characterizations and lyrical prose to a rabid r...

Interviewer @bethtabler.bsky.social was privileged to talk with @senlinyu.bsky.social , an author she’s been reading for years and greatly admires as a lover of the morally ambiguous.

i got into alchemised recently and made a first warm up-drawing to get familiar with the characters 🌙 #Alchemised

Reading Alchemised in the open is a wild game because I'll be reading the most heart wrenching line and will have to force a straight face and take deep breaths to stop myself from curling into a ball and cry.

Thank you will never be enough @senlinyu.bsky.social

Ahhhhhh this is amazing!

“A healer and killer, circling slowly, the push and pull inexorable.” | drawing this was about as painful as reading the book, but I still couldn’t stop until it was finished 🥲 (I’m at chapter 48 and hanging on by a thread. This book is incredible)
