My contribution for Inktober 2017.
I haven’t worked with ink/ traditional media in years. Doing this was rather nerve-wracking, but I was determined to do at least one thing for Inktober this year!

From my upcoming fic This Side of Paradise (the canon bookstore AU)

The first time Credence saw a moving painting, it was inside of Borgin and Burkes. It was a painting of Saint Sebastian, speared to the trunk of a tree with dozens of arrows, spiked like an urchin, trails of blood oozing sluggishly from his wounds. 

He had nearly jumped out of his skin when Sebastian’s head had lolled over the curve of his shoulder, the brush strokes juddering to life, and Credence could hear Sebastian’s weak moans of pain. He had backed hastily away, nearly crashing into an intricately carved cabinet and almost knocking over a glass display housing a heavy golden locket engraved with a serpentine ‘S’. 

Credence had hurried out of the shop, not wanting to think about how the spikes of arrows reminded him of the spears of light the Aurors had aimed at him in City Hall not too long ago. 

Coming soon.
