Did this one for a graphic novel called Amaranth Chronicles, he’s a Captain in the sort of Merchant Marine Navy they have in the story.

The following is Tarja's uncut speech from The Amaranth Chronicles: Deviant Rising. I'm posting this here because it's undoubtably going to be edited down and possibly diluted as a result. "...You are all singular unique beings, but those in power act to hide the truth, they create a world where your potential is suppressed. Your capacity for action hindered... hindered because they fear you… They fear what you could do. They create a world where you are nothing more than small pieces that do as they will, because the alternative is a world where everyone has the ability to change that world. We look back at the past, we look up at the stars, and we look forward into the future as we’ve done for centuries. But it is not in these places that we find our celestial gift. The truth reveals itself when you look within yourself and find an emotionally compelling vision and purpose for your spirit. Something that invigorates you with the spark to feel alive inside and that you have a burning desire to become or accomplish.” “The average and mediocre man has spent his life majoring in minor things. He’ll never reach his purpose because he has allowed his fears to paralyze him. He has allowed the world to tell him he is powerless to change his life let alone the world. He has been taught to be a victim of his circumstances. Since he cannot believe he can achieve what he wants, this lonely, dimly lit man will never take strides toward what he really wants. This is why some people flourish and some people are simply trying to survive. When a man has only been trying to survive and has not taken direct and decisive direction to thrive, inevitably he’ll lose hope and the promise of a great life. The beauty of his dreams will slip away back to the noise of the universe in which it came.” “Nurture what it is inside you as much, if not more than, you tend to those outside pursuits. Take the time to plant the seeds you need to grow a healthy crop of self enlightenment. Take the time to make yourself large in your own estimation, and so will you in the estimation of the world.” “Large people don’t only exist at the top of society, they aren’t only the rich and powerful, in fact some of those people are very small people. A large person is someone who takes every opportunity, who takes them and makes the most of them, a large person might start out begging for food, and finish their lives serving it to others. The point is that the large person acted, and they acted because they took the time to grow themselves to a place where they could. I see large people all around me, I see it every time someone tries to make their lives better, every time someone takes the time to consider the why of a thing instead of simply accepting what is.” “So friends... look into yourselves and throw off the lies you’ve been told your entire lives and take charge. Take charge of yourselves to change the world around you. Every one of you has this power; the power to grow yourselves into something large and into something that can reach out into the world around you and make a change.” “How very bad it would be for those in power if everyone knew they were just as capable of changing the world… How very disruptive would it be for people to know that we, as human beings, every one of us, have absolutely amazing powers.” “As we find ourselves exploring a vast and awesome universe, probing the boundaries between thought, energy, and matter as we travel faster than light to distant star systems, colonizing the heavens themselves, one universal truth is made self-evident, There is no wonder out there that can compare to what’s inside all of you. Don’t let that go to waste. Don’t let them cram you into the little box they’ve made for you.”

Over the weekend I was in Chicago for a wedding and had a chance to meet up with a few very righteous Inkshares author’s whose work i’ve been following very closely. It was a real honor to meet these guys and was really inspiring to find people facing a lot of the same publishing challenges Chris and I are but who are much further down the rabbit hole than we are. Somehow this entire process seems less daunting...
