A page filled with four drawings. On the top right, a young man’s side profile with long locs ties back in a low ponytail. On the bottom right, Pit-Fighter Vi wrapping boxing handwraps around her hand. On the top left is the side profile of a foot soldier wearing a helmet and holding a spear. Behind him is a white and red square pattern. In the bottom left is a fox standing on snow, arching its back in a defensive stance, looking at the viewer.A painting of a big rock sitting on smaller rocks, surrounded by the ocean. The big rock is triangular, with it's flat side facing the sun. The rock has blue highlights in it's shadows, it's tip at the top has a light shade of orange, and the side facing the sun has purple highlights on it. A spread with five drawings in it. On the top right is a bright blue shark basket with card games in it. On the top left is a young man with short hair wearing headphones and a flowy long-sleeved top with his arms open, drawn with only black linework. On the middle left is a blueberry with bright purple highlights. On the bottom left is a bright blue and pink lobster, its antenna are making a heart, its got a small heart in between its eyes, and the highlights in its eyes are also tiny hearts. Lastly, on the bottom right is a drawing of a man walking, facing this side profile. He’s wearing green cargo pants, a white checkered long-sleeve shirt with the sleeves pulled up to his elbows, a dark blue cap, and dark blue bag around his shoulders sitting by waist. He’s white and has a ginger goatee, and is drinking an orange drink in a see-through cup with a straw. There’s bright blue bounce light on the shadows of his shirt.A sketch page with several people on it. There is a older woman with a beret and rectangular glasses, a middle aged man with a mustache and stubble wearing a baseball cap holding a small flag in his mouth, an older middle eastern woman wearing a head scarf and a warm coat holding onto a bus grab bar, the side profile of a young woman wearing a scarf and a high hair bun, a young black woman with an afro and glasses leaning her head on her hand and pointer finger, the side profile of an older man with a big nose wearing a flat cap, and a younger woman with long straight hair wearing a bandana on her head while looking up. There is also two very rough gesture sketches, one of a man wearing a beanie and leaning against a wall, and another of a woman standing wearing a beanie with her baby strapped to her front torso and a backpack on her back. The sketches are done in dark blue with the gaps in-between them being a bright pink.

2 - A businessman stares at his shadow which has horns and a tail.
3 - The central image is a customized pentagram sigil with the name VIRGIL MORA around it in a circle
4 - A weeping man is crouched in a tunnel cut off from the light outside 
5 - A man in a white suit is back-to-back with a man in a black suit. They are holding hands

If anyone has an in-development novel and wants to exchange #betareading , I'd really like some new eyes on my MS! I like queer lit, SF, and fantasy, YA or adult. Mine's a queer-led far-future SF coming-of-age YA with a sapphic romance in it. I'd like authentic volunteers, not paid pros please.

Hey Bsky! I was wondering if someone w/ a KU subscription outside of the US or UK could do me a favor? It'd require downloading my book, Ocean's Blood, & navigating 2 pages in. That's IT 🙂 I want to test a theory. I'd offer an ebook as payment, but since you're on KU already... ;-) #booksky
