2016 in Art

2016 in Art

A break down of the art I did in 2016. A best approximation of it, anyway. Went off of when I scanned it in because I had no other way to figure out when I actually drew it. This excludes any critical book scenes. January None. February March Robo-Knight v3 design Balon April Ra'uw'la Crying May King's Head Cyclone's Head Farrco's Head Spellbinder's Head June Cyclone, vaguely tired Lapadj the Kharatzara Sarela the Szarehan July None. August The spike in...

Themes Moving Forward

Themes Moving Forward

Some Threads that Bind the Tempest allusions For the first four books in the series, there were clear elemental and color themes. How to Stop Wildfire was red and fire, Harmonic Waves was blue and water, Threads that Bind the Tempest was yellow and wind, and Of Fractured Edges was green and earth. But those are the first four themes: What are the The Adventures of the Trinity and the Ones themes moving forward? The answer lies clearly within the...

Egyptian Influences

Egyptian Influences

I'm a bit of a history buff. Egypt was one of my first interests and because of that the series has a variety of Egyptian influences sprinkled throughout it. Religion is a large point where I draw from Egyptian mythology. A few of the Gods in the pantheon of my series are Egyptian in origin. Ra. Osiris. Isis. Anubis. And so on. They function similarly to their Earth counterparts, but with my own take on them, of course. My own...

Sargon and Resonance

This may seem a bit redundant as a person's body...

Contradictions in the Process are Opportunities for Advancement

Contradictions in the Process are Opportunities for Advancement

There are times when I hit a snag along the line. The internal version, updated every moment, of the world and the events spirals along and maybe goes against what I've put forth as canon so far. What I believe is canon conflicts slightly with what is canon in the print. It is never a hard conflict; just like a phrasing stumble that has put me in a bit of a corner. I get extremely frustrated when this happens. Part...

Actual Racial Diversity in My Characters

Actual Racial Diversity in My Characters

In an other post I talked about gender diversity in my cast of characters. That is all well and interesting and relevant to current society and the state of media, but a bit immaterial in the Empire of my world as gender doesn't really have meaning asides from personal preference. A moot issue. A issue that is slightly less moot in the Empire is a individual's race (species, if you are unfamiliar with my lingo.) As in, whether an individual...
