CHAPTER TWO: ARIADNE

this chapter is about 3x the length of chapter one; hope you guys don't starve this time lmao

this chapter introduces the woman who raised keia, ariadne. when keia was a newborn, ariadne found them in a stream at the outskirts of her village. the two of them form a very close mother-and-child relationship, despite being so different from one another and ariadne only being twenty when she found keia. she will go on to become very important throughout the rest of the story so stay tuned :)

available to read now at thicker-than-blood.com

art fight attack on @/Doodlebones on af!! my first attack of the year, which i did in 3 hours on the first day. really happy with this one!

i tried to focus most on mood and getting the rendering to an acceptable point in as little time as i could. also insta cropped out the hands but i guess that's ok since i wasn't really focusing on anatomy for this one anyway 🤭

my art fight is the same username as here! i'm on team mystery; oooo you wanna attack me so bad OOOOO

the first of a handful of free splash arts i'm doing! this one is for @jaxrius 🌟 thank you for letting me draw your oc! :)

i'm doing these character splash arts to get some more up to date artwork to use as commission examples! if you're interested in commissioning a piece similar to this, check out my vgen -- splash art commissions like this one are currently 30% off and you don't need an account to get one :P

feels good to draw something for myself again after having been burnt out and away from my tablet for a long time! here is kaz playing one of his many instruments. apologies to any cello players if there are any mistakes; i cannot play an instrument to save my life but this idea needed to get drawn #meliorism_ocs

genuinely no clue how engagement works anymore so uhh?? #originalcharacter #ocart #clipstudio #sketch original character oc character design character art illustration drawing clip studio paint ??????? by @mel10rism

commission info! read caption for more 🌱

EDIT: i am now focusing on taking commissions via vgen. please go to vgen.co/mel10rism to commission me -- no account is needed!

original below:

please go to mel10rism.carrd.co for my full terms of service! there's nothing out of the ordinary, but i wanted to make sure everything is covered, so it ended up being pretty long :')

speaking of length, i wrote that a commission can take up to 12 weeks, but they generally take 1-2 weeks. however, since i also draw as my job, i included such a long timeline in case i get bogged down with work all of a sudden. quicker turnarounds can be arranged!

want to commission me but have something else in mind that isn't listed here? send me a message and we can talk about pricing! im happy to do other forms of art not listed here :)

ALSO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG TO POST AHHHHH by @mel10rism
