I’ve spent hours comparing Digard’s illustrations to other artists of her era, and one thing’s clear: she didn’t follow rules. Her work has the exaggerated curves of classic glamour illustrators like Alberto Vargas, but twisted into something surreal. There’s also a hint of underground comix like 'Zap'—think S. Clay Wilson’s chaotic energy, but with a focus on feminine power instead of anarchic violence. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was influenced by the fetish art of Eric Stanton, too, given how she plays with dominance and submission in her imagery. But what sets her apart is the way she merges these influences with almost mythic proportions—her women feel like goddesses from some forgotten pantheon. It’s less about imitation and more about alchemy, turning pulp tropes into something transcendent.
Digard’s style is like nothing else—it’s bold, unflinching, and drenched in surreal sexuality. I see fragments of influence everywhere: the anatomical madness of Hajime Sorayama’s robots, the fluidity of classic Disney animation (but warped), and even the theatricality of burlesque posters. Her work doesn’t just borrow; it cannibalizes and rebuilds. There’s no single 'aha!' inspiration, just a riot of visual languages mashed together with fearless confidence.
What fascinates me about Digard’s style is how it echoes the freewheeling energy of '70s counterculture. Her art doesn’t just exist—it vibrates. I’ve always wondered if she drew inspiration from the surrealist filmmakers of her time, like Alejandro Jodorowsky. His movies, like 'The Holy Mountain,' have that same blend of mysticism and bodily excess. And then there’s the manga angle: some of her compositions remind me of early Go Nagai, with his over-the-top, almost grotesque character designs. But where Nagai leaned into mecha and action, Digard’s work feels more like a fever dream—part pinup, part psychedelic manifesto. She might’ve also absorbed something from the French bande dessinée scene, where artists like Philippe Druillet played with cosmic scale and ornate detail. Honestly, her style feels like a cocktail of all these things, shaken violently and served with no apologies.
Ushi Digard's writing style feels like a wild collage of underground comics, vintage erotica, and psychedelic rebellion. I stumbled upon her work while digging through old 'Heavy Metal' magazines, and her raw, surreal art immediately stood out. You can see traces of European avant-garde influences—maybe a bit of Jean Giraud (Moebius) in her fluid lines, but with a far more unapologetically sensual edge. Her stuff doesn’t shy away from the bizarre, either; there’s a dash of Salvador Dalí’s dream logic in how she blends bodies with landscapes.
Digging deeper, I think she borrowed from the pulp fiction illustrations of the '60s and '70s, where artists like Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo mixed hyper-masculine fantasy with exaggerated femininity, but Digard flipped it into something subversive. Her women aren’t just passive muses—they’re towering, otherworldly forces. The way she exaggerates proportions feels like a nod to underground cartoonists like Robert Crumb, but without the self-deprecation. It’s like she took all these gritty, hyper-stylized influences and remixed them into something uniquely hers—unfiltered and defiant.

The novel is mainly about the forgotten British poet/writer named C. J Richards who lived in Burma/Myanmar in colonial times and he believed himself as a Burmophile. He served as I.C.S (Indian Civil Servant) and when he retired from I.C.S service, he was a D.C (District Commissioner) and he left for England a year before Burma gained its independence in 1948. He came to Burma in 1920 to work in civil service after passing the hardest I.C.S examination. He wrote several books on Burma and contributed many monthly articles to Guardian Magazine published in Burma from 1953 to 1974 or 1975. Though he wrote several books which had much literary merit to both communities, Britain and Burma (Myanmar), people failed to recognize him.
The story has two parts: one part is set in the contemporary Yangon (then called Rangoon) in 2016 context and a young literary enthusiast named “Lin” found out unexpectedly the forgotten writer’s poetry book and there is surely a good deal of time gap that led him into a quest to know more about the author’s life. The setting is quite different comparing to colonial Burma and independence Myanmar (Burma), early twentieth century and 2016 which is a transitional period in Myanmar.
The writer’s life is fictionalized in the novel and most of the facts are taken from his personal stories and other reference books. It is a kind of historical novel with a twist and it has comparatively constructed the two different periods in Myanmar history to convince readers, locally and abroad more about history, authorship, humanity, colonialism, and transitional development in Myanmar today.
"When beloved falls,
her two demon souls combine.
Humanity in her is long gone,
and chaos will arise.
And when blood spills,
precipitated is her enchantress guise to surface.
Together at the price of her pain,
death is inevitable."
A soul so dark and corrupt deserves no salvation. They say: "She who dwells in darkness, forever shall not descry light."
But what will ignite between two people when that same evil existence, a woman, freely lets a man wreak havoc in her already not-so tranquil life?

Diane denies her monsters; Matteo embraces them. But can she learn to accept herself? Or will she end up being the destruction she feared she would become?
For five years, Mira poured her obsession into The Reckoning of Caelen Mors—a dark fantasy about a ruthless duke and the woman he becomes dangerously fixated on. At 2:47 AM, exhausted and alone, she died at her laptop. Her final words still glowed on the screen: "Duke Caelen finally showed her his true face. It was nothing like she imagined."
She woke as Isadora Vess—the secondary character from her manuscript—in a silk bed, in a monster's house, with servants calling her by a name she'd invented.
The problem: Mira remembers writing this world. She knows every dark secret. She knows how the story should end. Except her memories are fractured. The manuscript was never finished. And the characters have evolved without her input, making choices she never wrote, saying things she never scripted.
Worse—Duke Caelen knows she's different. He's been waiting for her. Across seventeen timelines, he's seen her arrive at this exact moment. And in three of them, everything burned.
Now Isadora must navigate a world she created but no longer controls, surrounded by men who each want to use her—a charming prince offering escape, a dark count offering power, and a villain offering the only thing that might be true: the answer to why she's here, and what happens when an author gets trapped in her own story.
Because in every version where Isadora arrives, the empire falls. And Caelen has been waiting a very long time to see which ending she'll choose this time.
"It was a cold winter's night as I walked home. A simple night, until it crossed my path: a wolf almost ten feet tall, with huge teeth and fur as black as the darkness. I never believed in fairy tales, but this was no hallucination, not even a misunderstanding. It was something I couldn't explain. And even less so when this creature turned out to be more like the man I loved than I could possibly realize. At that moment, I discovered that even in the most unlikely situations, we can feel pleasure. Even though he was a wolf, I could feel that my feelings wouldn't change, even if it meant my life would be turned upside down in a new world, involved in a war, and with creatures I didn't know existed."
