Artist commentary for Maid in Spades:

Max Wright ✑ booklet commentary

Taking the motif from Willow Ascenzo's Rust Servant and completely changing the genre was one of the more fun piece ideas I've had.

Maid in Spades is a piece written for the Handmaid, reimagining the character in a swinging bundle of positive vibes. Now, I could try and justify the choice of genre here by referring to her past, how she is a tragic character with a pure heart, how she was nurtured into evil... but the truth is: this piece doesn't fit the Handmaid in the slightest.

But really, it was never meant to.

The song is very uplifting, but you can't really draw Handmaid without making her glare really hard, can you?

This is a piece I did in reply to THIS remix, by wellmanicuredmusic, of Cobalt Corsair. So this is a remix of Rust Servant, a swingin' romp that uses the same thematic material in a jazzier way. Does it fit the character of the handmaid? Nope, but it was never meant to.
