10.08.25 #Drawtober2025 Day 8: Post-Rant Clarity

Percy is comforting… in his own way.

#TraitorandtheWretch by @mythjae.bsky.social

Rephrasing of a popular tumblr post, in three parts.
1. Percy holds Knell by the collar with a skeptical expression on his face. Knell explains, “But I could kill you!”
2. Percy yanks him closer, his face inches from Knell’s “Yeah? So could another human being. So could a dog. So could a dedicated duck. You’re not special.”
3. Under a caption of “Post-rant clarity”. Knell walks behind Percy with a fond smile on his face. All while Percy is in the foreground looking panicked, thinking “Holy shit, I could’ve died.”

10.07.25 #Drawtober2025 Day 7: Expectations

Making #TraitorandtheWretch art until it finally releases on 10/10.

Knell from Traitor and the Wretch. Caption “He looked at him like he was the Sun…”
Expectation: Knell looks up, hands clasped with a wide-eyed look of wonder on his face
Reality: Knell’s face is scrunched-up, hands in a raptor-claw stance

10.10.25 #Drawtober2025 Day 10: Archetype

#TraitorandtheWretch It’s here! It’s finally here!

The conceit of novel came from the idea of what would happen if the two minor bad guys from any other fantasy story came together.

Congratulations to @mythjae.bsky.social on the successful book launch!

Knell and Percy drawn to be the traditional bad guys they were meant to embody in a more abstract style.

Knell is shrouded in darkness with a pale, outstretched hand, mouth open in a silent shriek.

Percy is hunched, enshrouded in Knell’s cloak, wielding a long, white dagger.

The cover for The Traitor & the Wretch (by Jasmine walls and Rowan MacColl) drawn by Amy Phillips. A black and white illustration, done in a charcoal-like grey scale style showing Percy, a rough mercenary looking man with short black hair, a scarred face, and a dagger in hand, surrounded by stylized knives. The bottom half show Knell, a greasy, ragged, and malnourished man surrounded by chains and decaying skeletons.
