Title: The Poisoner's Triumph
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Aurelio Merlo
Rating: T ( L0 N1 S0 V0 D0 )
Warnings: Very long hair as substitute for clothing, glowing magical liquid
Notes: So, back when I was still figuring out How To Art, I did 'A Glass of Poison'. And I wasn't happy with it, so I did it again about two years later. (Both versions are in that post.) So, when I came back at it for a third pass, I decided to do something a little different, but still much the same theme. And you know what? It still looks like crap, but better crap. *laughs* Sometimes, you just can't win.

Title: Too Lazy for Judgement
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Noctis
Rating: G- ( L0 N1 S0 V0 D0 )
Warnings: A shirtless dude
Notes: August's Mayhem By Magelight starts with more of Aurelio, as he calls himself in modern AUs, lounging in dangerously little. This one was proposed by Pillowfort30Mice, to whom I am grateful, because there are only so many scenes I can come up with in a year.

Title: A Featherless Blackbird
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Noctis
Rating: T ( L0 N2 S0 V0 D0 )
Warnings: One piece of barely-cloth
Notes: Hmeeerrhhh… I'm not thrilled with this one. I think ten years later, I may have to rework Aurelio a little. His skin's low resolution and his lines are a little weird. I've been tweaking him a bit, but I think I have to do more of that.

But, here's this week's Mayhem by Magelight! :D The gentleman in question does occasionally have to take off the excessive amount of leather and let his skin breathe.

Title: Like Any Other Day
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Noctis
Rating: G ( L0 N0 S0 V0 D0 )
Warnings: None
Notes: A certain Blackbird is expected to make an appearance in Autumn Grove, soon, which means I should get used to slipping him into bullshit doodles. So, here's Magelight's Noctis sitting around the garden in his underwear.

Title: On the Subject of [Redacted]
Fandom: Vexation of Spirit (Shadow Unit/Magelight Chronicles)
Characters: Chaz Villette , Noctis , Hafidha Gates
Rating: G ( L0 N0 S0 V0 D0 )
Warnings: None
Notes: Here's me still fiddling while Rome burns. Also, technically, probably spoilers. Meh. The conversation happens, but you'll have to wait to find out what it's about.

Title: His Excellency and Her Asskicking
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Artemisia , Noctis
Rating: G ( L0 N0 S0 V0 D0 )
Warnings: An ankle. Gasp.
Notes: While the rest of my portfolio burns down around my ears, have a blast from the past, done up all shiny new. Presenting the Avernine Envoy and his secretarial golem, Artemisia. Discerning Vexation readers may recognise one of these individuals. Those who appreciated last year's Christmas wallpapers may recognise the other.

Title: The Weapon of the Wood (Prologue)
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Mocker ♂, Noctis ♂, Artemesia ♀
Rating: G- (L1 N0 S0 V0 D1)
Warnings: Foul language, dark deeds, and gin.
Notes: The Unspoken, who numbered several tens, at the start of the War of Dominion, which lasted close to seven hundred years, were nearly obliterated during the war. Five worth speaking of survived it, and one of them died a hundred years later. Two were divided over her death, and one of those two has just discovered another of their number, presumed dead for centuries, may yet live. This is not actually the commission! This is the prologue to the commission, which I had to write, in order to screw my head on to do the commission. Consider it an introduction to some of the background, if you haven't read enough Magelight to know Mocker, his troubles, and his bizarre sense of humour.

Title: A Glass of Poison (Redux)
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Noctis
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: So, I remembered staring at this image for days, at one point, and I couldn't figure out why the glass wasn't behaving like glass. Having since acquired a clue, I tried again, with much less shitty results.

Title: Not While I'm Working
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Nox
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: If I shoot this for wall-hanging size, I think I'll do it in 4×5 instead of square. The really ugly parts are toward the outer edges, in the back, but so's some of the really nice stuff, so… I can rearrange things. This is an example of what you're supposed to do with raytracing. Yes, that puff of smoke is actually reflected in three of the cans on the shelf. I've never gotten anything I didn't mean to be a mirror to do that, before, and it's awesome.
