Hello #PortfolioDay!
I’m Runo, a freelance fantasy artist specializing in characters ✦🌿
A black and white drawing of a character with curly horns and long dark hair worn in two loose braids, surrounded by a forest background and a decorative frame. There's a scar running across their mid chest and ribs. The character is gently holding their hands over the scar, with a calm expression on their face, eyes closed. A black and white drawing of a long-haired character with antlers and fluffy ears, portrayed against a forest background. A circular shape frames their face from behind, and multiple sparkly shapes decorate the portrait. A black and white drawing of a character with long dark hair and curly horns, surrounded by stylized foliage. A symbolic dagger seems to be piercing their throat. The character has a calm expression - eyes closed and a subtle smile on their lips. A decorative and detailed black and white portrait of a long-haired character with pointy ears. They are dressed in fancy clothing and wear jewelry. Their eyes seem to be slightly glowing as they gaze at the viewer.

E.M. Anderson | the author too hot for BlueSky @elizmanderson.com · 2d
and here's a static cover reveal post for people who want to skip the book trailer and/or hate videos! cover art by Lucy Rose

THE LORD OF THE WOOD releases in July 2026, from @hanoversquarepress.bsky.social! #author

preorder now: gatheringvolumes.com/item/44euZQq...
the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood, framed in gold with gold flowers against a dark teal background around the edges. The cover is teal with a stag of flowers and foliage growing from a twisted tree with flowers growing around it and black ooze dripping from a branch overhead. the title "The Lord of the Wood" is in large white serif text to the left, with foliage growing through the letters closest to the tree, and the author "E.M. Anderson" is in all-caps yellow text at the bottom. the tagline, in smaller yellow text, reads, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..." "When lonely clockmaker Arthur Throckmorton loses his way in an enchanted forest, he meets the hero of his childhood bedtime stories: the Lord of the Wood. But instead of the mythical figure of his dreams, the Lord of the Wood is a grim man turning into a beast and losing power over a dying forest. If they can’t save the forest before he becomes a beast completely, Arthur will lose the man he's falling for—and never see his family again." Text is in a textbox against a murky image of a forest, with the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood below the text, all against a dark teal background with gold curlicues in the corners. The cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood on a dark teal background with golden leaves overhead, surrounded by yellow text reading: plant magic; sentient forest trying to oops! murder people; intensely homoerotic shaving scene; the one who heard the stories and the one who was in the stories; hopeless romantic who's clueless about his own sexuality; Beauty & the Beast inspired by not a retelling; dual-POV brother/sister; love interest turning slowly into a beast; wound-tending.

A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background.

Please call your senators and representatives and tell them to remove these provisions and protect trans healthcare!
Cis people, this is your time to shine.

Make sure you contact your senators here - Democrats control whether or not a budget with anti-trans provisions passes.

There are many that would devastate the trans community.

Know what creates empathy? Books. Reading about people unlike ourselves and experiences we'll never have. Which is why some people want to remove those books and discourage reading. Kids and adults should read widely. Most spend their spare time online, which is where indoctrination often begins.

"but art should be accessible" it is, you can learn to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, make pixels. right now, starting today. art has never been more accessible monetarily nor physically than it is now in this age. access to artist labor and machine production is not an accessibility issue.

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage?

This is a GIFT.

"You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here.

People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.

In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?
