Chapter 28 of A Veil of Lies is up (this time with a working link, unless tumblr is mean to me again). Quite a bit shorter than other chapters, but be nice to it, that just means it's still a tiny baby chapter.

Fanart for the story "Darkrai's Guide to the Care & Keeping of Humans" by the amazing @purple-tumbld! The scene where Darius/Darkrai receives a hat so that his poor night-sight adjusted eyes can have a rest during the day always stuck with me, and so I decided to FINALLY draw it.

I'm once again playing with art styles, trying to figure out how I truly like to do things (answer: different every time). The background was quickly thrown in there and cursed with the blur filter, because backgrounds will never be my favourite thing to draw and if I can find work-arounds (like tracing an in-game screenshot and then blurring the hastily put down colours), I will. Unapologetically.

If you haven't already read the story, please do! It's set in PLA and gives you a wonderful manual on how to get along with trainers (but really, read it. It's an order this time)

A Veil of Lies is back from hiatus, enjoy the newest chapter!

(Edit 24.03: Wait was the link never here. What. Tumblr. Tumblr why do you betray me like this. Well. Uh. Guess link now included but in a very unsexy and unappealing way: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28486989/chapters/138046318 Sorry for that! But also it was tumblr's fault. Curse you, tumblr.)

darkrai was endlessly accommodating of others in a way cresselia never understood. she found it wasteful and undeserved, and sometimes it was

#darkrai #cresselia #look at them

#darkrai #cresselia #these designs instantly became canon in my head #they are so cool

redrew my favoritest scene...

small ramble under the cut

IT LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL IN THE DAPPLED SUNLIGHT LIKE. This is such a gentle image of it. The way Darkrai rises from the shadows all menacingly or whatever but then the sun comes out and the sunbeams fall upon it like they do the rest of the garden makes it clear that Darkrai is a harmonious part of the natural world. That one 10 second scene does such a good job at characterizing the pokemon as a whole. it's such a powerful yet still subtle example of visual storytelling ...

Also here's a version without the sunlight (not sure if i like it more or less)

#pokemon #darkrai #yes PLEASE #the original scene is already so pretty but this just made it 57x more amazing #tcg art vibes honestly #the card i'd spend 150 on in a heartbeat #if i had the money #anyways #art

I played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky for the first time a little while ago and was reminded of how very wholesome the PMD series is. So here are some completely self-indulgent drawings of my rescue team. Shout-out to anyone else that has played the game with this specific combo!

Thank you so much!! Black Pearl. And Darcy as the flag. Certified genius.

An idea came to me while researching Pirates of the Carribbean, and so here is a half hour scribble of the funniest thing on earth (this is also AVoL fanart):

About A Veil of Lies (2)

Heyho, everyone.

I’m very sorry to have to announce it, but for the foreseeable future, I’ll have to put AVoL on hiatus. I won’t get into the specifics, but a main reason is that writing’s just not working properly for me and hasn’t done so for the last months (it seems I have worked myself into quite a bad writer’s block), and that constantly trying to pressure myself into just, finally, getting something out, is just making stuff worse. There’s some more reasons, but I’d rather not share.

Anyways. I am very sorry for this, but hope you all understand and can forgive me. I don’t know when I’ll be back to publishing semi-regularly.

Also, AVoL WILL be finished. There is no doubt about that. Just, for now, I need a longer pause, hence the hiatus.

With that, I wish you all a good day/week/month. Stay safe.

About A Veil of Lies

No worries, nothing bad's happening! I am not abandoning the story, not deciding to take a thirteen year hiatus.

However, I do want to give the update that the next chapter might need a while longer until it's finished to a publishable degree. My summer has gone in many unexpected ways, some good, some not so good, but they all came together to make me have less time and drive to continue working on the next chapter(s).

So, yeah, this is just a notice telling y'all "Hey, it'll need a while longer until Chapter 27 is published." Currently, I'm aiming for the end of September, but I really cannot promise anything. If it takes even longer, I'll publish another update on here.

And also, I apologize to everyone who has commented and not yet gotten an answer! I will try to answer all the comments, at the latest, when I publish the next chapter. Until then, know that I read and loved every comment, and I am so very, very thankful for all of them.
