Dustjacket cover of Satisfiction Book Box's special edition of Cry, Voidbringer, illustrated by me, Elaine Ho. A girl stands on a mirrored liquid surface, looking away from the camera, towards a woman in a red dress, who stands on an elevated rock in the background. The environment is bleak and steppe inspired. The edges are swirls of the void, with stars located inside it.
Hardcover design of Cry, Voidbringer. The title and author name is embossed in silver foil, with four symbols in each of the four corners of the cover: a sun, a star, a wheel, a lotus. The back of the cover has a caption that reads "We have no names. Only our marks".
Endpaper 1 of the special edition of Cry, Voidbringer. It's a sweeping landscape of Xinquha in the morning, and a monsoon rains in the background. Enormous clouds take up most of the painting, illuminated by the morning sun.
Endpaper 2 of the special edition of Cry, Voidbringer. This piece illustrates the icy peaks of Iskantupu. Two heavily clothed men sit on domesticated ibexes, their hawks hovering nearby.
So thrilled to announce that Cry, Voidbringer is @satisfictionbox.bsky.social's book for May!
I had the pleasure of illustrating the dustjacket and edges for my own special edition, which was a goal I'd always had as an author/illustrator. This was a dream come true π
Gold text below a 3D paperback of Elaine Ho's CRY, VOIDBRINGER. "Tyranny doesn't happen in the blink of an eye. It is a slow descent, helped by those who think they have no power."
Dive into @artofelaineho.bsky.social's dark political fantasy CRY, VOIDBRINGER, where a former child soldier finds herself responsible for a girl with dangerous powers...
Perfect for fans of THE FINAL STRIFE and THE UNBROKEN!

as a sidenote it's one of the reasons why cry voidbringer was about choosing to live with an imperfect family, albeit pushed to the extreme
for me, family is inextricably bound and it's impossible to cut ties, so it's a lifelong lesson in learning how to deal with that
(sometimes unhealthily)
there are families far worse than mine but my god there are some days where it is incredibly difficult to be around them
me, gripping this manuscript WIP in my hands: I HAVE TURNED DOWN SO MANY COMMISSIONS FOR YOU, SHAPE THE FUCK UP
