Here is another fanart cover of ACOTAR serie I made as a gift. I had a lot of fun to do it, I had less than a week before the birthday so it was a challenge. Like for the precedent cover, I also made the typo of the title. Acowar is my fav book of the serie so I was really happy to do a cover for it !
I change my way of presentation ! Even add a mock up !

“I had everything. I was everything. Position, power, money, masculinity, the stimulus for submission. My men quivered before me, my scent crazed and confined the strongest of man into devotees. My presence was powerful, my mouth spoke nothing but truth fulfilled commands—victims could only pray I was feeling merciful. My hands evinced nothing but death; my fingers grabbed and tackled, shot mercilessly and took away God’s gift of breath. My heart was too dark to ever feel remorse, to ever indorse morality; to ever feel.
It was not until she had entered my life,—she who had the lasting impact of an interjecting knife, for whom I had prayed, to the God i hated, to be my rightful wife—, she had ignored me, she had frowned and turned away, that I had found myself weaker than a pathetic kolibri. I could not avail an inch of my hand forward, afraid she’d disapprove henceforward. I couldn’t raise my voice, for one flinch from her would drive me to raise my carnage upon my own being; put an end to my corrupt destroys. After her, is when I learned what a man really is.”
— Tomie Yamazaki, “Chaos x Kindness”, 2024.

Drawing skeletons is goofy ahh
Ngl Ianthe is my fav character ever. The way she acts, totally careless of others but following some sort of fucked up plan she made, very girlboss of her. And also I LOVE how Muir potrays her, as a tall seraphic crazy lady thirsty of blood but yet very pale and weak. I haven’t read Nona the Ninth yet, I hope to see her again there.
Imagine a whole book abt her tho (delusional)

You ever think about Hans Christian Anderson's Wild Swans but set in a fantasy historical c-drama where the Empress Dowager curses the 12 imperial princes?
Well apparently I did, so I made a little cover for that hypothetical situation and had a lot of fun with it!
