Chapter I: Nocturne

Nocturne design board, Chapter I of The Afterdark Collection: full moon in a gothic arch, a moth and daffodils in tattoo-flash linework

Darker than yesterday. Stronger than tomorrow.

For the ones who come alive after midnight. Nocturne is where The Afterdark Collection begins: a full moon rising inside a gothic arch, a moth drawn toward its light, and daffodils opening where no sun reaches.

The moon is the collection's oldest symbol: cycles, return, the things that come back. The moth is devotion, pulled toward light in the dark. The daffodils bloom anyway.

Where the art sits

  • Back: full moon in a gothic arch, a moth with open wings, framed by daffodils
  • Sleeves: daffodils, crescent moons and stars down both arms
  • Chest: crescent-and-star sigil, left chest

Chapter I of 8 in The Afterdark Collection. Made to order on washed black.
