One webtoon-styled page for the illustration of an excerpt from the amazing work of @elecktrum - The White Armor Ball - a Narnia fanfic.

Just a few words of a character (Silvo's here) can be turned into a toon page which took a whole week to complete. Now I understand why artists' health is so horrible.

My Chronicles of Narnia story, Black Dwarfs, Blue River came into being from a variety of directions and, as with most of my longer stories, over an extended period of time. The idea first grew as I was writing Into the West, and then it broke loose. I very much wanted to isolate Edmund and let him give free reign to his snarkiness, while at the same time learning a thing or three about diplomacy.

Initially I wanted each chapter to be 1000 words long, but that proved impossible almost from the start. While I know when to stop, I don't like to when I'm on a roll.

I decided Edmund would learn about being a smith mostly because my father was a welder and since I was little, I knew more about metal work than any other kid in my grade. A lot of what Edmund observes in the smithy and the smells and colors, I picked up when visiting my father's shop.

Despite knowing that, I did a ton of research. Like, insane amounts of research. Watching videos and interviewing people I knew who made weapons and grilling my dad without letting on he was contributing to a fanfic.

Edmund's fatigue at the end of the fic is based on my own after my first blackbelt testing - a year of hell that culminated in a solid week of non-stop hell and oh, good lord, I was whipped. Edmund got to share in my fun.

Brickit and Brint very quickly became near and dear to my heart, and I felt so awful about Bricket's past that I decided to marry him off. Belana - whose name I borrowed from a lovely woman who translated some of my stories into Russian - has been waiting in the wings for a very long time. If I can wrench my brain out of Final Space for a little while, I promise to finish her story.

I want to write at least one more story directly around the Blue River Smithy, because Brickit and Belana deserve children and Cousin Biss needs to find a wife worthy of his surliness.

Greetings from Hoth! I was wondering if you were going to be offering your latest Avocato artwork, 'The Fiercest' in your InPRNT store. That is some seriously jaw-dropping work you did there, and I kinda sorta need that on my wall.

Hello there, thank you so much for showing interest!

And maybe? I need to check the copyright stuff with Final Space. I have seen people selling pins and stuff and i think the show is partnered with Redbubble and usually takedowns are because some people claim their work is official or use the official logo buuuuuut better be safer than sorry.

In any case, whenever i upload a new piece into my store i make a post about it so keep checking this blog in case i make an update!

'Peter, shivering with cold, leaned out into the darkness and pulled the Door to. It scraped over ice as he pulled it. Then, rather clumsily (for even in that moment his hands had gone numb and blue) he took out a golden key and locked it.'

That's all well and good, but who gave Peter the key?
