Also on super hot days I think he just doesn’t bind and his monks and nuns pretend not to notice his chest is slightly more pronounced under his habit.

Gunter binding.

I want to do more than just draw head portraits, so I’m playing around with action poses. Usually I use bases or trace reference photos for my artwork but I’m trying to learn how to not have to trace stock photos/photos of myself. In this, I’ve added notes for what I need to not do in the future. (Couldn’t be bothered to fix it in the sketch.)

I think the more time passes after Gunter’s body is changed the less dysphoric he feels and the more he just sees his new body as a minor inconvenience. He doesn’t like binding, but like running his abbey, it’s just something he has to do.

As a bonus, testicular cancer runs in his family so he doesn’t have to worry about that anymore.

Au where Lawrence died years ago and he's a ghost and doesn't realize it because he's so absorbed with his work and everyone else is just like yeah that's the resident Vatican ghost. Don't tell him he's dead we did that a couple of years ago and a window exploded

My novel is currently on sale on itch.io for anyone who is looking for a queer book to read this month!

Brother Gilbert is up there with one of the most sad and wet characters I’ve ever written. (Wet literally as he does almost drown….among other things…)

what if i told you that 90% of damsel/knight interactions in medieval arthuriana go exactly like this

If I can’t read the river scene of Decessit Vita Matris by the River Dart, then a river in the Alps is just as good!

Sadly, no hot selkies or sea monks were seen on my Alpine vacation, but you can certainly see them in Decessit Vita Matris!

This book is perfect if you’re looking for something queer to read during pride! (Or the rest of the year!)

You can buy the ebook on itch.io!

Or if you prefer the physical book, you can buy it on Amazon!

(You can also order it through your local indie bookstore!)

John and Gilbert pride icons. I’ve been having a lot of fun drawing these!

I’ve already drawn ones of Hervör, Cellanus, and Felix.
