My OC, mimic!Cesar Hernández, as Saint Sebastian (reference image below the cut!). He is from my horror fiction series ‘Hail, True Body’, which you can read over on Ao3! HERE

You can also learn more about the series through my pinned post on my blog! This was my first time using Procreate and actually trying my hand at digital art properly so whilst it isn’t perfect, I am proud of how it turned out :) really tried to capture that old style painting of saints vibe that I’m a big fan of.

The Good Samaritan: Chapter 13

HAIL, TRUE BODY - Part 5

When Cian pulled away, he wished, just for a moment, to drag him back in. To hold on so soundly that his knuckles cracked with the strength of it, to never let go ever again. To hide himself so wholly and completely within the only person left in the world that he could trust that he’d never have to leave it again. Secure and safe and protected.

Cian pushed the hair out of Mark’s face, eyes roving down the just-healed injuries he himself had stitched back together in the tiny bathroom of the apartment. Mark saw the worry, the guilt in his gaze, and his chest ached once more at the reminder that it was because this person cared.

And what a precious thing that was to have.

Or: What is unsaid is, finally, said (somewhat).

Amidst the loss and confusion of recent events, Mark Owens falls into a crisis of faith like never before. It certainly doesn't help that God is silent despite his cries, pushing him ever further onto a path of revenge. Cian Daniels is trying his best to keep this kid as safe as he can whilst meeting Mark halfway, before he can get himself killed.

A direct continuation of 'Mimicry'.

Please check the content warnings in the beginning author's note.

'Hail, True Body' is a religious horror series that focuses on what it means to be human in a world that God has abandoned. For Mark Owens, 1993 is shaping up to be the worst year of his young life - and that's saying a lot all things considered. When his best friend Cesar Hernández calls him one night in October, Mark ignores the broadcast warnings to help him out. But Cesar is acting... strange.
