a colored sketch of two women, duskily backlit by sunset light, as they stand in an embrace. Idony (R) cups Vera’s (L) face, looking up into her eyes softly with a sense of relaxed certainty. Vera’s eyes are closed and her brow is furrowed, but she leans into the touch, one of her hands coming up to grasp Idony’s forearm and hold her closer.

Lisle’s arms wrap around Viola’s waist from behind, embracing her tight; Viola leans back into her happily. Both are smiling, eyes scrunched or closed entirely.
an illustration of Helen Sharp and Madeline Ashton from Death Becomes Her (musical edition). It is in sepia, and Helen is holding a softly smiling Madeline’s head gently in her hands, pressing her lips to Madeline’s forehead.
an illustration of Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp from Death Becomes Her (musical edition). It is clearly after some sort of performance, the light dim and the marquis of the theater glowing in the settling night. Helen has arrived to meet Madeline at the stage door, bouquet of flowers in one arm as she is pulled in for a kiss by a waiting Madeline.
an illustration of Helen Sharp and Madeline Ashton from Death Becomes Her (musical edition), sitting together in the living room area of Madeline’s house. The sunlit windows let in warm, idyllic light, brilliant as it hits Helen, who sits on the couch with an open binder full of writing on her lap. Helen is laughing at something Madeline has said. Madeline sits on the floor, her back against the couch seag and her phone in hand as she watches something on a laptop. They look peaceful, and comfortable, and things look good for both of them.
An illustration of Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp from Death Becomes Her (musical edition). They sit with their backs to a cityscape during sunset golden hour, sharing a pair of wired headphones plugged into an ipod that Madeline holds. Helen leans into Madeline’s side, her purse in her lap as she closes her eyes, smiling to herself. Madeline is smiling too, her eyes just a bit open to peek sidelong at Helen.

an illustration of madeline ashton (L) and helen sharp (R) from musical Death Becomes Her. They are in their early-show costumes and kissing; Madeline is sitting on a desk with Helen standing between her legs. Madeline has one hand threading through Helen’s hair and the other hand tugging at the back of her shirt. Helen has one hand cupping the place between Madeline’s jaw and neck, and her engagement ring from Ernest is visible on her ring finger. The embrace is intimate and illicit, the piece’s tone dark and occlusive save for the bright, glinting warmth where passionate light filters through and strikes them.

a close up (!) gloomy + warm-lit illustration of Madeline (L, blonde woman with fair skin and purple eyeshadow/clothing) being embraced by Helen (R, red haired woman with fair skin, a low cut red dress, and pointed ears/fangs). Helen has one hand under Madeline’s hair at the base of her head, and the other hand bloodied and poised to cup the side of her throat. Madeline’s throat is very bloody and has clearly been bitten by Helen, who has blood staining her lips and dripping from her chin. Both women appear quite pleased with their circumstances, smiling, eyes closed or heavy-lidded 😌
a painting in warm sunset pinks and purples and reds, featuring two women (one in a blueish draped dress with a lowcut back, with blonde hair, fair skin; styled to resemble Megan Hilty in the OBC role of Madeline Ashton) (one in a red lowcut dress and mantle, with red hair, fair skin; styled to resemble Jenn Simard in the OBC role of Helen Sharp) kissing and awash in light. Helen sits and Madeline’s hands are on Helen’s hips, tugging her lightly closer. Above them twinkle stars in the constellations of Leo and Taurus
a study painting of my oc idony, a fair-skinned woman with bright orange hair basking in sunlight happily against a summer blue sky
a painting, candlelit and rose-toned, of (musicalverse’s) Death Becomes Her characters Madeline Ashton (L) and Helen Sharp (R). The illustration is a fairly close-cropped shot of both of them, Madeline with prominent vampire teeth, satisfied and heavy-lidded as she nestles her chin against Helen’s shoulder, one hand curling around to gently pull Helen’s shrug-robe away from her shoulder, exposing bare skin. Helen, featuring a few bloody bite marks on the top of her breast, neck, and shoulder, is leaning back into Madeline’s embrace, their cheeks touching as Helen turns to look at Madeline, expression darkened and a bit slack. Behind them is a window, dark and blue, speckled with rain. No one will disturb them tonight
a painting inspired by The Kiss (Klimt), featuring (musicalverse’s) Death Becomes Her characters Helen Sharp (L) and Madeline Ashton (R). they are in a pose similar to The Kiss, framed with a nouveau-flavored border resembling both botanicals and vertebrae. Helen wears forget me nots in her hair, Madeline wears heliotropes and a daffodil, and the bottom of the painting is decorated with asphodel. Both women are loosely serving as each other’s light source here.
madeline ashton (resembling obc megan hilty) and helen sharp (resembling obc jennifer simard) laying together in the grass amidst many blue flowers, madeline holding helen’s face with a soft, doting expression on her face. helen’s eyes are closed, but she pulls madeline closer. helen has a sprig of blue flowers - forget me nots - behind her ear. someone has finally remembered she is there and perhaps had never stopped thinking of it

two women — one dark haired (Vera) with glasses, one ginger (Idony) with marks on her cheeks — stand together in dim light. They are illuminated by a cup in Vera’s hand shining softly. Idony takes Vera’s hand, lacing their fingers together and squeezing tight where Vera hesitates. This is loosely inspired by the Ace of Cups tarot
a sketch with color of two women, both with similar features (pale skin, rounder / small faces, dark hair, and piercing grey eyes). The woman to the left (Taisiya) looks older and more confident, and has long hair with a few scattered braids and the sides shaved. She also wears odd glasses that seem to go through her nose and not over its bridge, has a dimpling beauty mark on her cheek, and has bigger, more goblin-cat like ears. Her pupils are also goatlike. The woman to the right (Vivien) looks younger, crankier, and paler, and her hair is cut raggedly in a bob that gets longer at the ends around the face, almost like wings. She has streaks of red-black paint (…) down the inner corners of her eyes and cheeks, framing her nose in an almost barn-owl manner, and her lips are stained messily red. Her eyebrows are absent and replaced with what look like severely fucked up piercings, and she wears silvery eyeshadow, and her ears are far smaller, only barely pointed.
