An untitled, unfinished slice-of-life paranormal romance novel set in a "cozy" post-apocalyptic future. The story revolved around Timothy, a man cursed to sprout mushrooms on any surface he touches, and Pentralys, an extradimensional eldritch being who must continually possess others' bodies in order to physically manifest themself on earth. Timothy agrees to act as a host to Pentralys, and thus begins a very slow-burn romance between them...
I wrote about 60k words of this before I finally accepted that I am not the sort of person who can write without a comprehensive outline. Were I to return to this story, I'd probably have to rewrite the entire thing. Maybe one day I'll do something more with it, but for now, here's some art!

Timothy and Pentralys dancing together, in one of the brief moments where Pentralys can manifest their physical form outside of Timothy. (Drawn August 2019) Timothy and Pentralys with their shapeshifter friend Corkscrew. (Drawn August 2019) A portrait of Timothy, from when I was experimenting with photo studies. (Drawn December 2020) The "true form" of a Voidspawn, Pentralys's species. (Drawn November 2019) Ruka, a side character from the novel. His plot paralleled Timothy's in that he also had a romantic relationship with a Voidspawn, except in his case it was pretty toxic. Even though he wasn't in the story much, I thought about him a lot. I might one day write something about him on his own. (Drawn March 2020) Ruka and Yaronon, the Voidspawn he summons and has a secret relationship with.
