hi, i'm dove gray 🕊️
writing adult fantasy LAMB OF GOD, about a disgraced priest and misanthropic sorcerer tasked with escorting the child of god on her journey across a dying land to receive seven blessings and ascend to sainthood.
i draw them frequently and post writing updates here!
penance tightening the laces on crow's corset, while crow looks into a mirror with a grin. aneska, lamb of god. crow finishes a bow in aneska's hair. she holds a book in her lap and looks up at him with a small smile. penance laying back on white sheets. a cut of light lays over his bared throat.

sorry for always bringing up scent when writing romantic/erotic fic as if it’s my fault that one of them smells like some scrumptious perfume oil and the other wants to take a bite out of them

like real people do
penance presses crow back against the railing of a balcony, kissing him, as crow grabs fistfuls of penance's shirt.

my other palettes and notes on colors!
1. the first iteration was a bit closer to my initial design's color scheme, with dark emerald and berry pink. it's a little too flat with all the shades of green, not playing enough with hue, but i really loved the emerald/berry color combo. this one also includes a dark colored corset, which we found an important element for the final design. 2. this one referenced shiny meowscarada's color palette, and it just doesn't work to me. way too flat, especially with the cuts in the pants just being another shade of green. i like the more blue-ish leaning green, but in combination with the very yellow gold, it wasn't doing it. 3. the best of the three imo, but still not it. this one referenced a picture of a venetian carnival mask with peacock blues/greens. the sleeves were the constant annoyance in each palette, not wanting them to blend too much with the corset, so they would have to contrast whatever the corset color wound up being. this was the color palette we liked the most, but the light colored corset was the sticking point. i took this palette and tried one more time. (also, the stockings are too dark here, they offset the balance of everything in a bad way.) 4. the fourth try! the dark corset helps to sort of ground the eye in the center of the design, with lighter colors radiating out around it in the sleeves and pants. the gold is allowed to be a little more prominent (the cuts in the pants, the lining of the corset as seen at the bottom), and the greens feel like a proper gamut of hues, less flat. the pink gets to come in just a little within the shadows, which deepens the indigo color of the ruffles and makes their pink eyes pop. i like the indigo/peacock green a lot! i think the design hopefully reads as busy but harmonious.

exorcist
sacha volkov. a 'mercenary' or traveling priest— an exorcist without tie to any one church hired to escort groups through the dangerous territory between the Saint's protected sanctuaries. the violet tassels are embroidered with a short psalm and indicate his patron saint, the Seventh, Our Vestal of Innocent Love. how well he upholds his vows to them is debatable. he hails from Valkaan, a mountain settlement in the God Spine. the valks have long practiced hunting paternships with the mountain range's whistling wolves, and old partners are remembered by fashioning their pelts into trimmed cloaks, baby blankets, etc. sacha feels that taking up as a traveling priest is best for continuing that tradition, and his partner, kisa, has proven reliable even against devils. his relationship with god is defined by isolation and ever-present danger, but also by the beauty of the world and the fleeting connections he forms within it.

i don’t intend to represent any one culture or people 1:1 in fantasy, but that bit is at least partially inspired by the legacy of the irish wolf. give the topic a read

i have an inordinate number of ocs with one blind eye, perhaps a subconscious projection due to my own severe impairment in one eye. or perhaps i just think eyepatches are sexy
