An image from The Saint and The Scholar. Connie, an academic in their 30s, is casually chatting. Connie sits on an office chair in a dated office cubicle, leaning against a desk to their left. Connie has dark skin and glasses, and their hair, photo leached slightly blonde, is short and afro-textured. They also have a thin but noticeable scar crossing from their hairline to their right eyebrow. Connie wears a sleeveless black academic robe, a checked teal shirt, and the sleeves of their green jumper are rolled up, they have khaki coloured trousers. They have some office papers on their lap. To their left is an old white PC, which is lighting them harshly in blue. Their elbow sits on the keyboard, and behind them is a blackboard with engineering diagrams and writing reminiscent of ogham script. They have a case of floppy disks and a pile of yellowing textbooks on the desk, alongside a green mug and a screwdriver. Connie has adorned their office with family pictures, pictures of friends, stickers, and herpetology, nature, and union posters. Illustration by me.
An image from The Saint and The Scholar. A short sword has been stabbed through the heart of Tohko, a young woman wearing old-fashioned mens clothing. Blood streams from the wound on her chest and from her mouth. Tohko has short black hair and light brown skin. She falls backwards against a starry background. A halo of gold is around her body. Illustration by me.
An image from The Saint and The Scholar. A blurry picture of Rio, a young woman wearing a turtleneck, cast in neon blue, and smiling at the camera. Her hair is a mess and neon red blood streams down the left side of her face. In the place of her left eye there's a star. Her right eye is neon pink. Distorted spirals radiate from her head in alternating neon red and neon blue. When they overlap there are streaks of neon pink. Illustration by me.
An image from Living Dead Youth. Joyce, a young person with short hair and a scowl, shoots a pistol, standing with their back to the viewer. They are bathed in red. They wear a leather jacket and a black handkerchief is hanging out of their right jeans pocket.
