Thought I’d share this fourth-wall-breaking little bit I drew of Lune & Gabryl. It’s not an illustration in the book, but it’s still one of my absolute favorites of them 😂 I just love how the anatomy, poses, and likenesses came out.

The purpose of the artwork was to print out and include in the swag bundles for people who ordered in the first couple of weeks after release. (I have leftover bundles, tho. So anyone who orders a book from my Etsy shop usually get the goodies too 😉). Reviews are super helpful for indie authors, so if you have an Amazon or Goodreads, I would be eternally grateful if you left a review (doesn’t have to be long or in-depth if that intimidates you. It can literally just be “I liked it.”😂)

The thing is. If Zezri's dad hadn't been a jerk with serious favoritism issues who nourished that girl's sadistic streak instead of curbing it, Zezri and Lune could have been besties.

I can easily see Zezri and Soaron hanging out with Lune, Kenneth, Soni, and Darat. I mean, that gang would have been an absolute Menace to society—but they would have had fun.

Just a doodle from last year that I don’t think I ever posted here. I used Lune as subject matter when I was practicing in a different drawing program. I need to draw this costume design again sometime.

Bless us, great writer, with your WIPS

😂 Will do! These are all randomly selected from various chapters in the document, so here ya go!

Most mornings he woke feeling as tired as he had when his head had hit the pillow.

Gabryl, of course, was perfectly at ease, waiting patiently for an answer.

Lune sucked in a breath and ran her fingers through her hair.

She was content to let them keep their secrets.

Aril’s brows drew together in a fierce frown.

The war was plain on her face.

Lune’s sword weighed heavy on her hip.

@fairytale-lights here is the link to one of my character playlists on Spotify that I mentioned. I have a folder for Jade Torch playlists on Spotify. I know my Gabryl, Kenneth, and Zezri & Gardzrin (they share a playlist) ones are public too.

As a disclaimer, I make character playlists as a mix of "this song vibes with the character" and "oh, this specifically relates to the character" 😂 with an occasional "this character would listen to this and vibe with it"

So it's a little chaotic 😅

So um, just wanna say two things. One, I LOVED Jade Torch: The Killing Thought, and am so doing a mini review of it on Tumblr!

Two, and this is minor, but I wanna apologize if I upset you by admitting I kinda ship Matsen and Lune. I really do like them, together and separately, but I just needed to apologize in case you were upset by it (and also so that I can clear my own conscience over the matter.)

One question...any chance we could see more art of Matsen?

Thank you, and have a great day!

I’m so glad you liked it!! Thank you for picking up a copy!!😁😁

And no, you didn’t offend me, but I can tell you they for sure won’t be a canon couple. In book one, Lune is 14 and Matsen is in his mid-twenties. (I can’t remember his exact age off the top of my head, and I know I didn’t mention it definitively in book one, but I do have it written down somewhere lol) So they’re definitely not a thing. Matsen does not have a squeaky clean rap sheet, by any means, but there are some lines even he knows are not to be crossed. So given the ages I’ve settled on for them, that’s not a direction I would ever go with the story.

Matsen art is something I want to do more of, for sure! But I can’t make any guarantees about when or how much. I know there’s a little bit on Patreon that I haven’t shared here because it’s spoiler stuff. I can also check to see if there’s any on Instagram that I haven’t shared here, but I’m not sure 😄

Thank you! And I really am stoked to hear you loved it!😁 If you would leave a rating/review (doesn’t have to be long) on Amazon and/or Goodreads, that would be amazing too! Those help us indie authors out massively!😅

Happy Appreciate a Dragon Day!!😄✨

So a little over a week ago, I purchased a Huion Kamvas Pro 16 so that I could start utilizing Photoshop again for some of my digital work. So far I’ve been really pleased with it, and here is an informal little review for this week’s video. I hope you enjoy it/find it useful!
