Cirrus Markone from my After Atlantis series. He's a genetically-engineered super-wizard who hates everybody, or at least pretends he does. He's more or less on the side of the good guys, and becomes Jayesh's unwilling mentor. Cirrus's brand of mentorship is, "Suck it up, wimp." Oddly enough, this is very good for Jayesh, who tends to be kind of mopey and self-pitying.

Jayesh couldn't explain the sense of grief and compassion inside him. He placed both hands on the silky feathers and drew on his healing shard. He sensed the life in the quetzalcoatl's great body, life mingled with magic. It reminded him of Suntala, but not quite. This creature was huge and blazing and alive, as if a shard had melted and run into its bloodstream. But that life was leaking from many wounds, both inside and outside. He found four hearts, one central one and three secondaries. A secondary heart had been shot through, and was draining the pressure of the rest. The creature's entire magical being strained against the damage, trying to heal it. Jayesh focused on that heart, first. "Come on, boy," he whispered, drawing in the creature's own magic. "Work with me." ... For the first time, the creature stirred, lifting its head out of hiding. For a moment it hung a few feet above the humans, watching them with its yellow eyes, the feathery crest standing upright, like a question mark. Then it relaxed and rested its chin on the coil they were touching. A third eyelid closed over the eyes like a gray film.

--- A scene from my upcoming book Sanctuary. Only Jayesh would be compassionate/stupid enough to try to heal a wounded quetzalcoatl. It’s so magical that the magical feedback almost kills Jay.

Concept art for Sanctuary in the After Atlantis books by K.M. Carroll. Personal project, but the clothes on the guy (and his hair) are very inspired by FFXIV.

The first 12 pages of my comic project, After Atlantis: Spear of Fire. I got the whole fight scene finished and just have a few more pages to go, so I thought I'd show it off. You can read more updates here: https://www.deviantart.com/michellekessler/gallery/83986158/after-atlantis-spear-of-fire-comic

You get a lot more badass with your powers when you become a dad. Even if your fire shields aren't that great at repelling bullets and you wind up absorbing most of the impact energy into your arm …

Jayesh shares an eggroll with his tiny dragon, Suntala. Suntala attacks it at once and Jay is amused. Also, why is ramen so beautiful?

Zero and Max, converted from Destiny characters to my After Atlantis universe. So they can have solar lion powers now. :-D

Jayesh and Gladiolus from my After Atlantis books. It's a world similar to My Hero Academia, where everybody has powers due to the collapse of Atlantis and the magic that was released into the world. Jayesh is a healer who inadvertently gains fire powers. This works out about as well as you'd expect. Gladiolus is a very sheltered girl who has a wind power she's never been allowed to use.
