In one of the previous Writing Spicy groups, aluminumbrat illustrated this gorgeous lil piece of me adding peppers & eggplants to a blender and making fountain pen ink out of it.
aluminumbrat adds: “If you’re gonna write spicy, you need spicy ink! And you write *really* spicy so I thought jalapeño pepper ink would be the best for penning erotica. ”
So this time around, I reached out to them to see if I could commission them to make something quite similar, but maybe with different things going into the blender, like kink toys, or books — still with the peppers, of course.
They were game!
aluminumbrat adds: “You were very clear with the vision – an illustrator’s dream, honestly! We knew books had to be there…the first sketches I did were of stacks of books and peppers!
”
We chatted a bit back & forth, and eventually they sent me this rough sketch / mockup:
Then I sent them some reference photos of fountain pen ink bottles, and books, and the Sugarbutch brand palette.
aluminumbrat: “It was very cool to see your fountain pen inks and fave kink books!
The Sugarbutch brand palette is very timeless, kinda fancy/classy. So I added amber details in as a reference to whiskey
”
They sent me back this sketch, to approve of the colors:
And then they got to work on the final pieces! They even posted a little video of painting the portrait of me
aluminumbrat: “The original illustration didn’t have your face in it, so it felt right to finally paint your portrait. ”
I love them! Thanks so much!!
Aluminumbrat is available for commissions if you find yourself in need of some skillful art! Thank you!
aluminumbrat: “Thank you for working with me! I had a total blast and can’t wait for Writing Spicy to start. Also, regarding commissions: yes, I’ll draw almost anything for money.
