In my life, I have had some artistic projects I started to dedicate some time to. So far, there are two I want to showcase on this website, an old one I did as a teen and one I am working on again.
The first one I called “Crows are watching”. As a teenager, I wanted to create a story with original characters (all of them dogs), very inspired by the media I liked at the time and some morbid curiosity I developed at that age. It never became anything; it went through three major revisions, but I never wrote a serious script for any version. The only existing data includes old drawings and my recollection of it. I plan to use this page to catalogue my past ideas, post the old art, and maybe restart with both hindsight and a few more years that separate me from both my Warrior Cats phase and my youthful inexperience.
No matter how much I might laugh about my past self and his weirdly macabre tendencies, this story stuck and meant something to me. I still think that some ideas had potential when handled more purposefully.
That being said, I have to give a content warning for topics such as cannibalism, drug abuse, hallucinations, starvation, and more. As mentioned, I was just learning about morbidity and my affinity to the topic. Sadly, 13 is not a good age to tactfully explore these topics.
Crows are watchingThe second one is a passion project of mine I want to get back to. It is my worldbuilding project I started in Inktober 2023, inspired by Monstergardens' worldbuilding videos on YouTube.
I wanted to make a dark fantasy world on my own, focusing on a magic system around parasitism. I did not finish this Inktober, like so many others, but the idea still clings to my mind like a particularly stubborn tadpole.
For now, this is just a work-in-progress worldbuilding concept. There are no characters, nations, continents, or climate zones yet, just a concept I want to explore.
Beforehand, a content warning for themes like body horror, parasitism, medical horror, coercion, and harm to children.
The concept is as follows:
Magic comes from a fungus-like organism that fuses with the spine of the host.
