At last finished my part for the #UnDeathGhoap ghoap server event !! Worked on a piece to go with @whyausername.bsky.social 's lovely yearningful ww1 au fic that really got the worms wiggling (read it here ! archiveofourown.org/works/90620506) #ghoap

first pic of a 2 part illustration of a quote from themanta's ww1 au fic, reading 'and some things', with a hopeful soap leaning towards a fresh faced sitting ghost turning towards him, seemingly about to kiss; in a dawn like dreamy atmosphere.
Both pics are meant to evoke a certain glow and fade of ghost's perspective and memories that he has kept throughout the years.

second pic of a 2 part illustration of a quote from themanta's ww1 au fic, reading 'were just too wonderful', with a desperate ghost kissing a worn out, tearful but smiling soap, the both of them worse for the wear, covered in mud, scratches and blood, in a dusk like reddish atmosphere. Both pics are meant to evoke a certain glow and fade of ghost's perspective and memories that he has kept throughout the years.

When you're secure in yourself and your community, your self worth cannot be weaponised to hurt those who'd love you for who you are (but your scorn can spite those that'd try to make you thankful for making your existence disposable). Stay safe, stay true, Cheers !! #pride #johnsoapmactavish

$fanart illustration made for pride 2026, featuring john soap mactavish from call of duty mw (reboot) as central subject, inspired by comics, inspirational posters and sticker aesthetics as well as physics and astronomy, with a queer rage/stubborness/empowerment subtext and a star warsy kind of vibe; and reads 'cowardice won't erase us'. Most words are bright white with splatter effects, except for us that is in a rainbow gradient. Soap is in a getup inspired by his nautilus skin (sleek and dark modern gas mask outift), and is looking over his shoulder towards the upper right corner, at a distant point; his eyes glowing. A bolt of brilliant white light from the top right pierces his temple, with a star-sun effect at the surface, and scatters into a pride flag rainbow on the other side of his head in the background, in reference to the phenomenom of refraction. The right half of the background is darker and emits an ominous red rimlight along Soap's profile-back. There is a dark blue solid frame, and glowing star shapes are scattered over the whole picture. The composition and elements in the picture are inspired by visual representations of black holes, specifically quasars (accretion disk, redshift, astrophysical jet) and the white light could be coming from Soap rather than going through him, or going in both directions.$

#dh #daud #knifecrow (initially sketched for the #dhkinktober2024 prompt corsetry) When then there's rain in Dunwall -

digital coloured fanart of daud from dishonored (game), in an emogoth vibe.
The air is dense with fog, cold and dark.
Daud is sitting in a shell/flower shaped armchair, slightly slumped forwards, seeming torn and regretful. His makeup has streaked down his cheeks. His hands are loosely clasped around a skull shaped (corvo's) mask in a white and pink peony wreath resting in his lap. A crow feather shawl is curled around him. An ill fitting corset droops from his chest, in steel boning, with feathered and royal themed fabric. Water surrounds the chair, and rises to his mid calf.

Made myself a little design challenge (pick 4 characters, roughly design 4 outfits with dresses, roll to match), had fun, decided to make them a lil setup each, and experiment with new things while at it. This one was könig + cyber-streetwear base, spooky flavoured for october.😘👑💅

Digital painting showing König (cod) as if you were encountering the character in a spooky themed visual novel game, likely a dating sim.
He is dressed in an outfit that hints to his og design as well as some of his spooky themed skins (the wolf, arachnid, deep lord) and is a nod to tacticool clothing styles :
- a latexy mini dress with a crown shaped cutout on the cleavage zone, a spiderweb pattern, and an eye holed hood that can zip all the way up
- fingerless gloves
- unzipped wide jacket with puffer and camo elements, as well as a crown shaped patch on the arm
- thick mid calf socks
- pouch thigh bands
- combat boots in a cyber fashion style
He is posed somewhat suggestively, with a hand set on a cocked out hip, and the other resting on a knee, looking at the viewer. It's night, and he seems to be lighted by a streetlamp coming from the left, but also by some mysterious green highlights coming from the right. His hood is drawn up and conceals the right side of his face, and the eyehole has a firery, green wispy effect coming from it. His slick and dark clothing contrasts his pale and hairy skin.
The overall mock interface is styled in a mix between mw2 and spooky cute games.

The first picture is a wide shot of the character, labeled ????? and reads : You stumble upon a mysterious figure; to which there are 3 choices of reaction :
- Approach
- Run ! For !! Your !!! Life !!!!
- Psh, who cares about mystery ? Move on.
It is assumed the viewer chooses approach - the choice is highlighted and a cursor made of an upside down wolf head is hovering over it.

The second picture has the character, still named ????? and now much closer to the viewer, speak up and say : 'What are you doing out so late ? Isn't it past your bedtime ? Don't you know it's dangerous to be outside at night ?'; to which the choices are :
- “Isn't your granny expecting you ?"
- What was that sound... ? Nevermind. Run !!!
- "Well worth it to meet you, Gorgeous~"
- "Truth, King. But the Hunt stops for no one."
None have been selected yet.

It all started 20 months ago when bestie went 'jack from ac syndicate looks a bit like könig' and the mental image of könig in full cosplay going ‘draw me like one of your brit creeps’ has (cursedly) haunted me since... and turned into this. Happy Halloween ~! 🍬🎃❤️🩸

Spooky/Halloween themed digital painting in a sort of comicsy-trashy style of könig from cod dressed up as jack from the ac syndicate dlc, captioned Trick Treat ? HAPPY HALLOWEEN2025.

There are elements from könig's halloween skins included in the design, like his arachnid skin (spiderwebs) or his trick or treat skin (touches of bright colour, tacgear details, carved pumpkin painted hood), but the overall design follows jack's silhouette, with the top hat and great coat. He's laid out across a couch, half wrapped in a fur blanket, and seems to be expecting you. One hand holds his head up, and the other rests on a knife besides a strawberry layered cake topped with three little ghosts that have the iconic bloody tear tracks from his orginal mask. The colours and values suggest it is nighttime, with mostly cold hues. There is a hint of warmer colours that suggest firelight coming from out of frame. There is a mix of ominous elements like blood splatters spread across the picture, and cuter elements like heart shapes or sparkles. The text itself is rendered like sausagey ballons, in reds to pop out from the blueish background in a show of questionably corny taste.

Never forget who you are or who you can or could be, and why it matters. Stay safe, be proud, Cheers ! ~✨ #ghoap #pride

illustration made for pride month 2025 with a team theme, meant to tie back to inspirational posters and stickers. It consists of a picture of a close up upright shot of soap leaning on ghost with their ghost team masks on, fully covered up, both looking at the viewer. Ghost has a patch on his jacket that reads 1 4 infinity symbol and just below below infinity symbol 4 1. The diagonal reads 141 as a reminder to their team name. In the background is the classic rainbow pride flag following a vanishing point in the bottom left corner to evoke perspective, on top of which is drawn the outline symbol of two flags placed right behind ghost and soap's figure; one red and one black. Soap and ghost are meant to mirror those, as ghost's colour themes are mostly dark or black, and soap's mask is red, with his head resting under ghost's. The colours are very bright and brush strokes on the characters are meant to mimic a rainbow feel more than a realistic treatment. At the front a big text is displayed that follows the lines of the flag and reads : no one fights alone, taken from the in game dialogue, where soap learns that he can actually rely on ghost, and that ghost, for all his misgivings, is still able of care and trust. On top of that is a layer meant to evoke twinkling light effects and a slightly mystical but camp feel, with stars and mimicked glitter.

Here is my entry for the #GhoapIdesOfMarch, got worried for a bit I wouldn’t make it but I did ! so lo and behold, folklore mashup dionysian fae AU, hope you’ll like it ! <3 ✨ #kheyescomics #kheyesart

3 page grayscale comic of a soap ghost könig (technically platonic) AU in a medieval catholic inspired fantasy setting with a ‘what if Price was basically Dionysus in his empowering aspect and had found Simon (09 Ghost backstory style) and offered him his protection’ premise; with Soap, Ghost and König as transmasc people (and a true name gives power subplot used for trans affirmation) more focused on vibes than historical, anatomical or setting accuracy and details, though some effort went into crafting slightly different ambiances for the different characters and story.
Soap meets Ghost in a spooky forest though the how and why is unclear, and thinks he is a demon come to tempt him, which, fair, since Ghost does suggest a deal, and looks pretty demonic with his horns, misty smoke, extra teeth on his cheeks, mystical and threateningly ominous way of speaking and gratuitous amounts of lipstick. Soap refuses at first, demanding to know Ghost’s name in order to banish him. Ghost is amused at Soap’s bravery, and reveals several names that seem to resonate with Soap and elicit quite some amount of dread. Soap asks what Ghost wants from him, showing true fear. Ghost becomes pensive, asking if he’s correct in assuming that Soap is like him. He then latches onto Soap’s fear, which doesn’t seem to be about dying or anything of the like ; but rather because Ghost seems to see through him to his desires, in a ‘if you knew this and offered it to me I could never refuse’ way. Ghost says that he would, and that the people around Soap would never. He then delivers a neat little speech that sums up Soap’s sad little life, past present and future. Soap, after some deliberation, asks what is the catch.

Ghost announces that for that he needs Soap’s true name. If given, Soap would lose everything else: his people would reject him for being himself. Soap stammers, saying he is Joan MacTavish, which isn’t his true name. Ghost asks confirmation, and receiving no answers, prepares to leave. Soap suddenly states his name is John. The deal is sealed. John asks Ghost about himself, concluding that he isn’t really a demon. Ghost reveals he is a vassal to some other entity, and that his true name is Simon. John is interested in Simon, and asks if he can come with, since he can’t stay where he used to. Simon agrees, though perplexed. John asks if he will get as big as Simon, who states he doesn’t exactly make the rules; and John is short already. John proceeds to ask about Simon’s inhuman characteristics, which Simon replies is up to John. John refuses, stating that it’s spooky. Simon replies good heartedly that he is the fear of many. John after a beat, decides to empathise with that, stating he isn’t good either, but that they could learn. Simon is moved, and tells John that he’s in fact pretty sweet. John gets embarassed, and shuts down the conversation by stating that Simon will provide him support Simon didn’t get as he was alone, and so that they are ‘quits’. After a time skip, we see a new character panicking after seeing a shadow in a woody area, mirrorring the start of the previous page. This new character, (König), starts feverishly apologising on the religious assumption that what they’ve been told is right and that they are a dirty sinner whose deserved comeuppance is finally here. This gets quickly interrupted by someone shushing them. John, visibly older (and hairier) states that they may be scary, but that there’s no need to panic, as they were just passing through and about to leave. König in a good hearted, brave but misguided intent addresses John, saying that as a human, it’s never too late to turn back.

John, surprised, starts giggling, struggling to explain. He settles on saying that ‘Maybe Simon's a devil, but he made an honest man out of me’. Simon makes a joke about his big words compared to his short stature. John replies in mock offense. König is flabberghasted, then quickly weighs their options between an ominous church tower and lively banter ; they snap, and reach out for John, saying that if what they’re witnessing is true, they’d like to come with; they carry a secret they wish they could speak of without it meaning their end but rather their absolution. John asks if they’re who Simon sensed, and Simon answers that it’s likely; his form shifts from a devilish appearance to one more angelic (König’s shift in perception) and asks if König wants to come with them, losing ‘all they never wanted to gain everything they never dared hope for’. There is another time skip, then a fourth character is speaking to Simon like they’re meeting after quite some time; it’s Price, the entity who helped save Simon initially. They show concern over Simon, seeming to genuinely care but also being a bit distant and out of their depth. Simon answers that things are going good for him, and that he appreciates what Price has done for him and what he has gained, in spite of the very heavy ‘price’ he’s had to pay and shoulder to get there. He’s focused on his inner thoughts and happy, thinking of what has helped him decide it was more than well worth it; an ending picture/tableau of a semi circle of him, König, John, someone who is intended to be Kate Laswell’s wife, Kate Laswell, and Gaz in a rather playful setting that could be a picnic. Gaz is reading a book aloud, probably a fairytale, with THE END written on the page he’s gotten to. There is some flowery ornamentations that spread from Simon, who looks restful and appreciating the feeling of being surrounded by people he esteems and loves ; like the ending to any good happy end folktale.
