Tales From the Flat Earth has some INSANE dick jokes in it. They are proper disgusting and I am having a great time

These two books are the start of The Flat Earth Series by Tanith Lee. "Night's Master" and "Death's Master" are filled with humor, magic, sex, different gendered people, and are just great reads. She started writing them in 1978. If you are familiar with the Sandman series written by that guy, you may recognize some of the characters having the same name- he never gave her full credit. I look forward to reading the rest of this series and more from Tanith Lee....say her name...

So I've finally gotten around to reading Tanith Lee's Flat Earth series. 

If, like me, you're experiencing the joys of this series via audible, I'd advise listening to it with your headphones in public. 

The demon x spider sex porn was an unexpected surprise… To myself and my neighbours. 😆

Tanith Lee, from Night’s Master

So over the past month, I've been slowly reading Tanith Lee's Flat Earth series (no relation to the conspiracy theory). It's this crazy elaborate collection of stories about anthropomorphic personifications doing weird things in a vaguely bronze age setting.

The stories are super bizarre, and you have to have a very high tolerance for strangeness and horror, but they're written so beautifully that I'm in love. It's seriously hard to pick a single scene to paint because everything Lee writes about is so gorgeous.

For this illustration, I chose to paint the dark queen of Sheve. Partially because I liked that she's one of the only kind, reasonable people in a sea of chaos, and partially because I'm a sucker for elaborate hairstyles. All Lee's descriptions of smoke-like hair ornamented with moons and stars got me in the mood to paint.
