I'm at Anime Boston this weekend (as an attendee, not a vendor), but while I'm wandering around I thought I'd share this illustration of Takeshi I'm working on. Like Jeri's picture, this is a re-work of a 13-year old design, and is his outfit from when he was the Captain of the Imperial Guard.

Mood / Inspiration board for Takeshi!

There's a ton of inspiration on here from anime and video games - really, two of the biggest sources I pull from, and with Takeshi especially I feel like that comes through. He'd make a really cool video game character!

Another new release from yesterday: The Tempest's Fury by @geekitude.bsky.social !

If you haven't been keeping up with the awesome epic space opera sci-fi series the Saxon Saga, you should be - especially since it's now complete!

I finally finished my illustration of Jeri in her casino dress! I love the way this turned out; it's a huge upgrade over the original version!

It's a combination of copic marker and prismacolor pencils and white ink.

I have for you a guest blog by Kai Zeal! Are you interested in magical girl deconstructions? Low dark fantasy? Queer rep? Themes of identity and forging your own path through life?

Then you should check out this series! And also this prequel blog post!

Mood / Inspiration board for Jamirh!

I always knew that one of Jamirh's things would by "Great swordsman", especially since I technically started out by writing Ebryn, and hey - maybe there's a spoiler in here somewhere :P

Happy birthday, Jitsu!

(I don't think I'm supposed to have favorite characters, but, uh... it's her. She's the best.

New blog post!

I'm trying a new series of primary source documents - exploration journals by a famous explorer from over 4000 years before the Blades trilogy!

You can read the basic version for free on my blog, or give me a free follow on Ream to see the fully formatted version :)

Looking to escape reality for a few hours?
Unfortunately I cannot offer permanent escape, but I can offer a completed three-book science-fantasy series with a supplementary book of short stories and entirely too much extra lore on my blog that you can spend hours lost in.

So tropes.
I've discovered no one knows what they are anymore. They've become so overused in marketing that while they are helpful for quickly getting at the vibes of a story, a lot of what you see on graphics aren't actual tropes.
My hot take today is that settings aren't tropes, but you do you XD

I spent an unfortunate amount of time working on these custom emotes for my reader discord, but they came out super cute, didn't they??
