Finally got around to giving both Tharkvenna sisters their ✨ glamour shots ✨
Aulo with the shorter hair and golden lighting, and her older sister Asty with longe hair and blue lighting! Two of the three leading ladies of #canticle

Two things that will never fail to motivate Aulo:
1. A good time. She’s a bard! Promise her some good booze and a warm tavern and lively company and that’ll be enough motivation for just about anything
2. Her wife! She’s head over heels for Ori. If it’ll help Ori out, Aulo’s there in a heartbeat

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
What tempts your character?
If you had to convince them to do something they didn't really want to do, like getting a dog to take a bath using cheese, what would you use?
Would it be cheese?

What a few weeks it’s been!! Travel for a work conference, then a concert, and ending with an ABSOLUTELY magical week at Bicolline’s Grande Bataille. Now a day of rest before getting back to the regular swing of things (and back to my writing schedule!)

Title card and excerpt for CANTICLE, a 95k word adult epic fantasy where two sisters rage against the world that made them who they are, and come into conflict over the people they are becoming.
✨ Bards, gods, family, politics, and a struggle deeper than reality itself ✨

One island. Two triads. Three moons.
The war is ending, but the storms are shifting more than tides. A mind-reading spy will do anything to prove her worth—even kill the one man whose gaze doesn’t reveal his thoughts. But the closer she gets to killing him, the harder it gets. #Q #FR #A #Questpit

So excited to throw CANTICLE into the trenches!
Aulo helped her sister take the throne.
That was a mistake.
Take EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE and make it an epic sapphic fantasy — unraveling realities, doomed lovers, and wonderfully messy sisterhood.

Some pieces really resonate with me and some just feel like pain, and this was one of them lol! Took it as far as I can bother to take it, complex backgrounds still remain so painful to me. But that’s the art process! Just gonna take what I learned and move on to the next one #oc #ocart #digitalart
