Hey, so we're about a week away from learning if I'm going to have to rent goats and film them taking over my garden because I lost a bet.

There is still time for you to preorder this book to make sure I lose.

I am VERY DIVIDED about this, believe me.

Black and white art. a bunch of small birds noisily chasing after a big eagle which is rushing away from them down towards the bottom of the page. 
This is bird mobbing: the behavior where small prey Birds en masse attack a predator like a hawk or an eagle. By rushing at the predator making lots of noise they can often scare the predator away and occasionally kill it. see the link in the next post. 
The link above is to the artist's shop if you want to buy a print of this art.

Mixed up a bunch of sparkle paint for lilies and couldnโ€™t bear to waste the rest, so have some arches.

doing image research for European pine martens & if a red fox is a cross between a cat and a dog, a pine marten is a cross between a cat and a stoat. & I'm just in love with their big floofy razored paws. if not friend, why friend shaped?

The finished headscarf! The indigo is a tradition of the Tuareg people (like Ousmane, the OC I threw into this historical AU to fit @taplingzines.bsky.social queer history zine), and the color was so rich and fun to paint

A digital illustration, the current draft of the Prince's Fighters novel cover. The protagonists stand against a backdrop of a map of the world. Derrek, on the far left, is the tallest of the three: a soft faced, pale human man, with golden brown hair and green eyes, dressed in bronze poofy pants, a white poet shirt, and a blue doublet. Khanaarre, on the right and almost as tall, is an elf woman with red-brown skin, dark hair and eyes, dressed in tight fitting green coat and trews. Standing between them, much shorter than either, is Elana, a bronze-skinned human woman with short dark hair, dressed in a light blue chiton and bright red chlamys, holding a rapier at her side. To either side of her stand Rennin, a bronze-skinned human man with a shaved head, dressed in gold-colored hopliteโ€™s harmor and a red chlamys cloak, and Orland, a tall pale red-headed man in a steel bell cuirass with jointed pauldrons. At the very back of the party is Veralar Tann, a tall and olive-skinned woman with spiky blond hair in a blue jumpsuit. They are all flanked by neoClassical columns and Art Nouveau lotuses, with the title The Prince's Fighters above and my byline below, all in black and white.

Do you like epic fantasy? Sword and sorcery? Wizards and elves and dragons? A little bit of romance and a lot of conflicting motives and loyalties?

Maybe check out my serial novel?

I just dropped chapter 52 of 70:

First photograph of a sculpture of a Werewolf-goddess holding the moon with Candles on the moon 

During the dark winter days the moon is lighting up the darkness.
The wolf takes the form of a goddess, because they both share a fate. Once seen in high regard both have been shunned by humans leading warfare against nature, the wolf & the female body
Both them became associated with sin & evil forces, degraded by the urges & greed of mankind
Sun carrier became sun eater disregarding the cycle of rebirth, goddess became the evil witch...

Winter slowly fading & in many folklores the wolf was animal of this transitionary time between "life & death"
Wolves mate in the deep of winter now the she-wolf is symbolically carrying the young sun into the new year.
