(Before you read this entry, I warn you it’s intended to gross you out at multiple stages. Haaave fuuuuuuuuuun!) A horrible creature plaguing the equatorial bogs of the Ton heartland, this species is also called the Silverblood. The reader may hope they’re small; unfortunately, adults may stretch past six feet long and swell to seven […]
The character is the best thing done to Star Wars, I insist you’re wrong, and further suggest you read the writing on the wall of my barricade, grafted slope to slope upon this mound of butchered fanfiction: it says “Immaculate hill, Upon your wondrous rugged height I embrace the void” A true fan knows everything […]
Forgive me, lands I loved. Heroes make poor keystones. No prophecy told you I would solve problems. The Dark Lord is dead. I believed all must come together once I overthrew the Shadow, forgetting past strife. Only you waited for me. You wanted forging together, laminating your skin tones, languages, beliefs to forge my Sword […]
What more need be said? I’ve rendered out a bevy of ultra-HD pictures this morning, and assembled them into one of those new-fangled digital art galleries. Featured today: Skybleeder, the relic spear of House Lin, a nine-foot leviathan known for its unnatural powers, its origins lost to history. Are there clues to those origins in […]
I must preface my observations by saying I don’t have a terribly in-depth knowledge of anime or anime-based live action adaptations. If I am unfair, I am not deliberately so. That said: Spiky-haired youth-appeal protagonist goes to draw his katana for nukitsuke. It is a standard length katana; in Europe its blade is shorter than […]
That phrase probably bears some explanation. I’ve mentioned once or twice that I’ve written my first novel and I’m looking for an agent for it. For those of you who’ve read “Sonderhau,” are reading “Dark Helm and Wing’d Spear” as I dole out the “pages” or have delved into any of the “Regarding Canno” articles, […]
(Previous Entry) June 17th, 3909: Specialist Illowen now KIA seven hours after returning to Earth. Just told via SolCom she waited until the London Council of Elders gathered around and shrieked the killing phrase at the top of her lungs. Three hundred dead total throughout meeting center, including all forty-two elders. Luminescence Tirevel survived, was […]
(Part One Here) Welcome, fellow writers (and readers, mayhaps?) to part two of my writing advice for better high-fantasy armies. We’re currently standing amidst a canvas sea; you’ve seen its like often enough, no need to describe the tents themselves. There are no camp followers because this isn’t that kind of fantasy army. Instead, please […]
Author’s Note: There is a salient point here about how incredibly, incredibly alienating the YA fixation of many high fantasy novels can be for anyone that doesn’t fit neatly into YA archetype territory, but I am still deeply, deeply embarrassed by the, uh… very Fashy-sounding things I wrote surrounding that point. Have to admit my […]
Hello Blog faithful! Project Skybleeder is consuming all my creative energy right now, so to keep things rolling on the blog in the meantime, here’s another dream from my archives. Enjoy!
