Incredible books. I’ve posted about the first one before, but I finally got around to reading the sequel and I highly recommend both.

Rex is a Good Dog. Rex knows he is a Good Dog because when he follows Master’s orders, the feedback chip in his head tells him Good Dog.

Rex is a genetically engineered cyborg supersoldier furry Bioform who has been sent to “intervene” in a Mexican civil war by a shady American private military contractor.

And because it’s written by Adrian Tchaikovsky, of course there’s a swarm of sentient bugs. Her name is Bees. Bees is bees.

Just occurred to me that I never posted these images and they've existed for months. Here's a little environment guide I made during artfight for those wanting to draw my Knight characters. The planet Ettera is dominated by crimson and orange flora, tough and hardy like the rest of its inhabitants.

The images above are just a few snapshots of the planet.

(Some bonus lore from ages ago but still very relevant. Further info under the cut)

It is common practice in Mountain Knight society to worship storms, which are a highly common occurrence in Srati and the Ihmna Stretch. They place a lot of importance on them - cyclones and hurricanes are revered for their power and might, and are respected as one would respect a person.

They believe that the electrical energy that you have inside you rises up to the heavens when you die and lives within the clouds, forever dancing in the winds and rain. Sometimes, the deceased come down to visit the ground in the form of lightning. When it is storming, it is a time for spiritual reconnection and communing with the divine. Instead of churches or temples Mountain Knights have 'lightning fields' which are stretches of land with tall tower-like structures scattered around. These objects are built to attract lightning strikes during storms.

The phrase 'Lightning runs beside you' is a common goodbye for Mountain and Kaata plains knights, who adopted some of their culture. Its shortened into one word. It essentially means those who came before you will guide you until we meet again, like calling upon ancestors to protect you. On the flip side they can also be invoked in anger - calling it down to strike someone you hate, but it is said that the ancestors will only listen if they believe the other person has truly wronged you.

FINISHED BAHAMUT! All 7 First Brood siblings are now complete after 3 years of work!

Pencils + a compilation of everyone together :) Still interested in drawing Midgardsormr down the road (he has been heavily requested!) but for now I’m just happy to have the siblings done. :)
