I really like the art I did this year! I did/made 132 pieces this year. This has beaten my record of 114 from 2020. Considering I work full time and do 100000 other things, I'm super proud of myself. It's like 1 art per every 3 days. I struggled choosing a piece for certain months because there were so many I really liked.

I used a lot more references and forced myself to colour more and tried different poses. I also tried New Styles (like 4 times but whatever)

I would like to return to more digital art in 2024. But I want to continue as I'm doing now. Maybe do backgrounds again, lamao.

[jessread-s]

Thanks to the Fable app and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

✩ 🧛🏻🩸Review:

Mahurin’s newest release is one you’ll want to sink your teeth into! 

Picking up six months after where “Gods & Monsters” left off, “The Scarlet Veil” follows Célie Tremblay, the first female Chausseur, as she investigates a string of murders in Cesarine—all of the bodies drained of blood. When she stumbles upon the body of an old friend, however, the investigation becomes personal. Determined to avenge her friend, Célie attracts the attention of the killer and learns that he has special plans for her. 

I want to start off this review by talking about my love for Célie. I’ve always admired Lou from the “Serpent & Dove” trilogy for her courage and brazenness. But it wasn’t until I read from Célie’s point-of-view that I felt seen. As Mahurin so beautifully puts it, “she’s softer, more sensitive, even emotional” and she isn’t less strong because of it, as “strength comes in all shapes and sizes, and soft girls aren’t weak.” Célie is such a special character to me for that reason. I am the sensitive girl that feels so deeply. I see so much of myself in Célie and I’m so grateful to Mahurin for that. 

Another aspect of the book that I love so much is Célie and Michal’s relationship development. They are actually enemies turned lovers! Despite Michal being a vampire and Célie being a human, the two have fangtastic chemistry. Célie fights against it because she believes him to be a monster and she despises that she even feels drawn to him. Her inner turmoil creates sexual tension that is unmatched and left me craving more long after the novel’s end. 

As with her other novels, Mahurin’s world-building in “The Scarlet Veil” is captivating. She does a beautiful job explaining away the absence of the Éternals in her previous works and transporting the reader to the Isle of Requiem. I really enjoyed learning about the history, customs, and abilities associated with Mahurin’s vampires and could not get enough of the nightwalkers making up the ensemble cast. 

The element of mystery woven into Mahurin’s dark and fantastical world with the added bonus of vampires make this book my favorite of hers! It is so special and I hope that others will love it as much as I do!

Who is Jim????

Jean-James Tremblay aka the chill Canadian vampire from Quebec? Jim for short. He speaks French and although it is a different dialect, Lestat is totally into him.

I ship it. Lestat going to great lengths to secure an ice rink so Jim can have his hockey time. What a great guy!

*spends way too long looking at the menu even tho there’s a long line behind me* can I get a uuuuuuuuh Jeanie Tremblinie F4 please…and is it possible to make that a Queberta combo with an Alberta A3? If that’s not possible at this location I understand

"i just try to walk and talk like you for political reasons its not like i like you baka"

thanks for understanding that if you try to ask me for anything in the vein of ship art it's going to be either in the form of "whats a normal people thing to do?? food?" or "i misinterpreted your original intention on purpose because i can't play it straight"

Quand l’immortalité est à nos portes.

Mélanie Tremblay.

Tuer la mort. 402 pages.

Guy Saint-Jean éditeur.

Alors qu’ils sont en vacances en Toscane, Ryan Beckham, agent du FBI, et Lily-Rose L’Espérance, journaliste au New York Today Journal, reçoivent un appel du service de police concernant une mort suspecte. Un cadavre a été repêché près du porte-avions USS Intrepid, amarré au quai 86 à New York. L’autopsie révèle que la victime a fait l’objet d’une greffe expérimentale et qu’elle est morte empoisonnée. Les autorités découvrent non seulement que l’auteur de ce crime serait une femme, mais qu’il s’agirait probablement d’une scientifique chevronnée. Celle-ci est par ailleurs très active puisque la liste des victimes s’allonge : on localise d’autres corps qui ont fait l’objet d’interventions chirurgicales audacieuses suivant le même modus operandi. Qui est cette Savante folle qui pratique des expériences sur des cobayes humains au mépris de toutes les règles éthiques et des protocoles de recherches en vigueur? Pour sa deuxième enquête à l’heure du journalisme 2.0, Lily-Rose L’Espérance doit donc remonter la piste d’un génie qui cherche par tous les moyens à repousser les limites du corps humain grâce aux nouvelles technologies. Quelqu’un pour qui visiblement la fin justifie les moyens…

Mon avis :

La plume de cette écrivaine devient meilleure avec ce deuxième tome. J’ai apprécié le fait que le récit est entrecoupé des articles de journaux que la journaliste écrit et des pensées de la savante folle. Ce qui permet d’accélérer le rythme de la lecture. Le journalisme prend toute la place dans la vie du personnage principal. Les recherche que Lily-Rose font n’arrête jamais. Elle a toujours de quoi à faire. Parfois, sa vie ralentie à cause du doute, mais ce n’est pas plate du tout. L’idée des greffes est intéressante, jusqu’à où peut-on aller avec la science?

Connaissez-vous cette autrice?
