I highly recommend making those long term plans and sticking to them hard folks. This life has been 6+ years in the making, and there's still a way to go, but mornings like this it just hits. Also, my girl dog is a model.

These are some of my favourite ‘older’ High Fantasties. They might be considered slow-paced by most standards now, but the atmosphere, characters, philosophical riddles and metaphors fill me with a sense of warmth and wonder.

There may not be a lot of the battlefield clashes (often a staple of the fantasy genre), but there’s peril aplenty, and often of a far more intimate kind.

These three titles/trilogies are very different from each other, but my fondness for them is very similar. Not just escapism or comfort reading (although they can certainly be that, too), these books have things to say. And I love the way in which they say them.

Earthsea trilogy, by Ursula K. Le Guin (1968-73)

Riddle-Master trilogy, by Patricia A. McKillip (1976-79)

Fortress in the Eye of Time, by C.J. Cherryh (1994)

It will take 6 years to do all the embroidery on the dress, after all I can't do anything about it as I am a fabric designer 🧵🥻

ON the Left we have our Challenger: Chacha! Today(this week) she faces the immovable Fae Queen, will Chacha's charm manage to let her pull ahead?

I haven’t been very active on this account because like usual, I’ve been drawing frantically, but unlike usual, I’m so absorbed that I don’t feel like taking the time to critique stuff online. I also unfortunately am not getting much done on my webcomic. I'm obsessed with the goal of getting hired as an animation storyboard artist, and I concluded I need more than my own original scripts to get there. So I assigned myself two fan storyboard projects to force me to work in new styles. This is the first set of character designs for the bigger project based on the Riddle of Stars trilogy by Patricia McKillip. I’ve tried to draw these two, Morgon and Deth before, and never had it turn out, so this is exciting. The focus here is to work out a style language. I ran as many lines together as I could, going for a Legend of the Seven Seas aesthetic, and I drew very detailed hair and eyes, pulling inspiration from anime. There’s one more thing I want to try - taking out some of the lines and making the rest not black (Klaus-style) - but these drawings are a good start. Now I get to decide on a scene to storyboard and I might go all out - for the climatic ending of the second book. That will give me a good idea if Deth’s design holds up ;) Incidentally, there is a character in this series named Lyraluthuin, which is my screen name for most of my social media accounts. Not a coincidence.
