MY DEAR VICTOR

“My dear Victor,” cried he, “what, for God’s sake, is the matter? Do not laugh in that manner. How ill you are! What is the cause of all this?”

“Do not ask me,” cried I, putting my hands before my eyes, for I thought I saw the dreaded spectre glide into the room; “he can tell. Oh, save me! Save me!” I imagined that the monster seized me; I struggled furiously and fell down in a fit.

Poor Clerval! What must have been his feelings? A meeting, which he anticipated with such joy, so strangely turned to bitterness. But I was not the witness of his grief, for I was lifeless and did not recover my senses for a long, long time.

This was the commencement of a nervous fever which confined me for several months. During all that time Henry was my only nurse. I afterwards learned that, knowing my father’s advanced age and unfitness for so long a journey, and how wretched my sickness would make Elizabeth, he spared them this grief by concealing the extent of my disorder. He knew that I could not have a more kind and attentive nurse than himself; and, firm in the hope he felt of my recovery, he did not doubt that, instead of doing harm, he performed the kindest action that he could towards them.

Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus, Mary Shelley (CHAPTER 5)

ah, to be cared for! the unconditional depth and gentleness of it. also have you guys ever listen to the ost for the korean frankenstein musical. sometimes I think about how musical!victor uses his henry's (dupre in the musical, not clerval, but henry all the same) head for his creation. that's also an unconditional something!!

ngl I considered attempting a full bernie wrightson homage for this, but then I thought about how I like having fun and that would totally ruin my hands for the week and settled for drawing a bunch of lines until I got tired of drawing lines lmao

#mary shelley's frankenstein #victor frankenstein #henry clerval #komiks tag #for context. i usually enjoy drawing a lot of line heavy illustrations #i do most cross hatching by hand and just. really love drawing lines #however. bernie wrightson's frankenstein illustrations are operating on a whole different level of Goddamn #i did a master copy of one of them once and couldn't draw for two days after i finished #which is an extremely unrecommended condition to find yourself in which is why i gave up on trying to achieve a similar art aesthetic #i do find myself going back to edward gorey a lot tho

He’s not going to cry. Neither of them should be crying, preferably, but it definitely can’t be both, because that way only leads to disaster.

I just finished reading Rotten Work by ShanaStoryteller and it completely suckerpunched me with uncle-nephew feels so have an emotional Jin Ling with Wei Wuxian

#i was originally going to colour this normally but i actually love how jin ling is determinedly attempting to dress wwx in jin gold #so i ended up leaning into that instead because it's SWEET darn it #this picture became me having too much fun with hair tbh i really enjoy drawing jin ling's hair #mdzs #jin ling #wei wuxian #wwx #jl #wei ying #the untamed #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #my art #ah cross hatching my worstie #i never know if i love or hate it but when i use it i always go overboard

My piece for Hateno Hideout's Midna's Merry Mix-Up event! I got @artistalyna! You said Wind Waker was one of your favorites, so I took it as a much appreciated excuse to draw Telink! I hope you like it!!

#legend of zelda #wind waker #loz #ww #telink #lou draws #yesssss FINALLLLLyyyyy I get to post it!!#I need to talk about how much I love this #and also hate it because the king of red lions is HARD to draw grrrr #and I'm still not a hundred percent sure about the cross hatching... but I don't know that I'd like actual shading better #so it stays #hatenogiftexchange
