Sneaking in just before the deadline for @carryon-reverse-bang 2023, I’m so so thrilled to present my artwork and the accompanying first chapter of The Vampire Knight and the Chivalrous Dragon written by the talented @scribble-tier.
My idea was based around the English legend of St George and the dragon- an excuse to live out my dreams of putting Baz into shiny armour to match his glossy hair. Jude ran with it and is giving us a slow burn fic filled with class division, familial obligation and sword fights!
The artwork is only half of the original image I’d intended to create, so the final full piece will be released later on, accompanying whichever chapter feels most appropriate. I can’t wait for you to see the full thing and I’m so excited to read the rest of this story. Thank you @scribble-tier for picking my prompt, it’s been great working with you (: Hope you all enjoy!
Summary:
Basilton Grimm-Pitch is set to be a knight of legend and renown, with a powerful bloodline and training like very few knights before him. But when he's tasked to slay the beast setting fire to the kingdom, he grapples with how to decline without tarnishing his image or going up in flames himself.
And then Simon Snow is one of the missing.

Big thanks to the lovely supportive folks in the CORB discord, sorry if I’ve missed tagging you, I am terrible at this stuff and have no idea what I’m doing 98% of the time 😅
Happy Sunday everyone! Thank you for the tags today @nausikaa and @youarenevertooold, and everyone who’s tagged me in the past week! There’s so much good work being done right now!
I’m still working on the next chapter of my CORB story, but I’ve begun work on my COBB collaboration and will share a few more than six sentences today—I’m not entirely sure if I’m off on the right foot. I’m hoping the whole thing will look better when I’m finished 🤞
They’ve gone racing across the lower field just now, Dev pulling Baz by the hand, crowns of wild flowers winding around their heads. That will have been Baz’s doing; Dev may have made a start on his, but he’s not got the patience to have finished it, not so that it would hold together at least. They throw themselves down on their backs in the plush green clover, Baz facing north and Dev south, heads on each other’s shoulders as they stare up at the sky. I can just make out their small faces, laughing and serious by turns as they whisper in each other’s ears. What I wouldn’t give to be that young and resilient again!
I’m happy they’re close. I’m happy that in the midst of their darkest hours, they’ve each had a hand to cling tight to. I know well enough how much they’ll need someone to depend on as they grow.
So I know I haven't done something like this in a long long long time but I've been bored today and I came across @wervty 's picrew and could not resist making all the characters I like in the Simon Snow books by @rainbowrowell so here you are fellas :) (This is part 1) (Things in () are my notes on each character/ship lol)
Simon (I killed so many things for you) Snow Salisbury and Tyrannus Basilton (I am hopelessly in love with him) Grimm-Pitch (OTP!!!!)
(Queen) Penelope (Cute knees) Leigh Bunce and Shepard (From Omaha) Love
Agatha (take my heart I'm a useless lesbian) Wellbelove and Niamh (Honestly, you can take my heart too) Brody
Ebeneza (Angel, sweetheart, did not deserve it) Petty and Nicodemus (I only tolerate you cause you are Fiona's boyfriend) Petty
Lady Ruth (Sweetest grandma alive) Salisbury and Jamie (You're a cool uncle) Salisbury
Ebb’s the nicest person at Watford. Younger than the teachers and surprisingly powerful for somebody who decided to spend her life taking care of goats.
“What does being powerful have to with anything?” Ebb’ll say. […] “I’m not a soldier. Don’t see why I should have to fight for living just because I can throw a punch”
A WIP? In my Wednesday? It’s more likely than you’d think!
Thanks to @artsyunderstudy and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe for the tags (and a very I am sorry to everyone who tagged me during The Very Dark Fortnight)
My comic book students asked how to translate a book scene to a comic page and I grabbed a book I Definitely Do Not Read And Would Never Post Fan Art For as my example and turned to a Very Random Scene That I Have Never Wanted To Draw Super Bad to show blocking (which is all the color shit in the background)
Now that I have a new group of students, I am working on finishing this to hopefully post. And look! It’s Ebb!
I no-pressure tag @krisrix @foolofabookwyrm-activated @facewithoutheart @themandilorian @otherworldsivelivedin @mostlymaudlin @prettylightsbigcity @fatalfangirl and anyone else who wants to play (this also counts for Sunday!)
