#Introduction

Hi there! I'm Farah, a French-Algerian illustrator who loves drawing #fantasy and #gothic #art. I also love cooking vegan food, hiking and listening to all kinds of music — right now, a lot of psychedelic rock and jazz.
If you'd like to see the process of creating an #illustration and follow the journey of an aspiring published artist, I'll be mainly sharing about that!
Nice to meet you!

Do you know any novels (not graphic novels) with goth main characters?
It doesn't matter what genre - romance, mystery, thriller, horror, urban fantasy, young adult, new adult ...
But no Dark Romance please.
Bonus points if there are also queer characters - not necessarily the goth character(s), but that would be nice, too.

Currently, I am reading the YA novel "You've Goth My Heart" by L.C. Rosen and am enjoying it. 🖤

Please #boost.

The cover of Black Sabbath's 1970 debut album was shot at Mapledurham Watermill, Oxfordshire. To get the right light, the shoot was conducted at 4.00 am. Contrary to popular belief, the hooded figure is not Ozzy Osbourne, but an 18-year-old female model. The model was chosen for her short stature, to make her look overwhelmed by the eerie landscape. To enhance the photo's uncanny feel, a smoke machine was used and the shot was taken with film used for aerial photographs, which gave the photo its pinkish light. The film was also boiled then frozen to make the image grainier. Props included a stuffed crow - named Yorick - who appears on the back cover and, apparently, a live black cat. The photographer swears the model is holding the cat though the model says she has no recollection of this. #music #metal #gothic #weird #history #folklore #art #photography #psychogeography

Retoot für mehr Reichweite:

Ich möchte ein weiteres unkommerzielles Buchprojekt machen, weil mir das erste so viel Freude gemacht hat.
Thema diesmal: Stimmen aus der Schwarzen Szene - Interviews mit Goths.

Aktuelle Sachbücher über die deutschsprachige Goth Community gibt es wenige. Deshalb möchte ich gern Interviews machen und diese in einem kostenlosen Buch zusammenfassen.

Alle Details gibt es hier:

Gern boosten. 🖤

Update:
Zurzeit habe ich 17 beantwortete Interviews. Ich hoffe, es werden insgesamt 20 (weil das eine schöne runde Zahl ist), oder vielleicht sogar mehr. Ihr könnt noch teilnehmen bis Halloween, 31.10.2025.
Ich freue mich aber sehr über frühere Einsendungen.

Now I'm back from travels, starting updates on ForgeFyre again (a folklorey/clockpunk/gothic multimedia story I wrote two chapters of along with an an artist called Hannah Milburn some years ago - now reposting them on a forum so they're somewhere for someone to read).

Page 9 is now up, this one is mostly an audio update:
