How to Stop Wildfire Eighth Anniversary

How to Stop Wildfire Eighth Anniversary

I find myself here, eight years on, without too much to say or reflect on in anything particular. Over this year, I’ve written things outside my domain and written more in it (including finishing The Lost). I’ve felt free to explore other ideas and random projects. Not much has come from it, realistically, but it has felt good and fun. I wonder if part of me is avoiding focusing too much on book 11—because it’s starting a big new part...

Commissioned Art of the Three Great Fallen Angels!

Commissioned Art of the Three Great Fallen Angels!

I wanted to get professionally done art of the Three Great Fallen Angels: Capraeaura, Alexia, and Malnoren. They are important, striking characters that have been part of the mythos for a long time so it was time for them to be professionally done by AR Sullivan (all half-bodies). I provided sketches old and new of each, and a rough shot of how I wanted them posed. Alexia’s outfit I wanted to be more yellow/robe like than the sort of ‘copy’...

Commissioned Art of Fa'quiehja

Commissioned Art of Fa'quiehja

Malcolm Zfnoc finally gets his best friend/ally professional done: I commissioned AR Sullivan to do Fa’quiehja, also the first Fravier done professionally. As seen in my December 2022 art dump, I prepared a lot for this. I wanted it to be of the Fa’quiehja of after Amethyst Shards. Sketch Started off well! Main thing was the addition of the cloak, slight finger shape tweaks, and a change to the outfit. Boom! All looked good! Final And here’s Fa’quiehja! His outfit...
