I just finished drawing the concept art for chapter 10 and I couldn't stop myself from sharing it with you, my beloved subscriber! If you haven't already, I suggest reading that sneak peek I posted yesterday to get a taste for what's to come. I'm very excited for this part of the story.
A Dawn from the West, Ch 10 Cover Reveal
Welcome, friend! I just finished drawing the concept art for chapter 10 and I couldn't stop myself from sharing it with you, my beloved subscriber! If you haven't already, I suggest reading that sneak peek I posted yesterday to get a taste for what's to come. I'm very excited for this part of the story. We're nearly done with what I envision as "Volume 1" for the light novels to come! But, without further ado...behold!

I now have 5 email subscribers (sort of), so I’m thinking of offering some new chapter previews for them! That said, I’ll be offering a preview of chapter 10 of A Dawn from the West very soon!

I’ve been reading Secrets of the Silent Witch instead of being on social media, but! I have a few updates for those who’d like them.
1. Chapter 10 of A Dawn from the West is halfway done! I’m on a roll.
2. I updated my Characters page. I can’t believe I’ve already mentioned over 30 characters!

I’ve mostly been out wandering away from social media, but I’ve been continuing to work on and update my web novel, A Dawn from the West. Chapter 8 was released last week. You can find that (and more) here: feolnir.com/web-novels/a...

If you don’t like nature, you probably shouldn’t read my serializing fantasy web novel. All the good characters are tree huggers. They will literally cry for abused trees and herbs (especially Fëor). You’ve been warned.

It was so refreshing to draw this, btw. For months art felt more like an obligation. But this was different! This was one was for me. I hope you like it!

I’m giving Substack a try!
My fantasy web novel is still free, of course. If you’d like to be an early supporter, I’d greatly honor you with a sacred cow (if I had any). My happiness will have to suffice, for now. That and special artwork.

The historian in me craves to create detailed political maps for a region in my fantasy world to show the consolidation of power leading up to the time period of my current web novel 🫣 #worldbuilding

I know it’s hard, but try not to determine your worth by likes and followers, friends 🥺
Try to focus on the *act* of creating and, through that, the happiness your soul feels when you do. Eventually, with enough persistence, you’ll draw others into the flower blooming through your efforts 🥹

Since buying a Princess Mononoke sweater, my mind’s been on how it influenced the concept for Valýría from my fantasy web novel.
Also! Golems! You can hear them clacking at dawn. They’re kind of annoying. But also cute. Mossy and adorned with colorful mushrooms. Inspired by Kodamas. #worldbuilding

For me, I like to have ‘translated’ in-world texts with notes addressing biased authors & variations in source material. That’s what I’m doing with Älthrenalor, which you can read & listen to here: feolnir.com/2025/06/24/a...

Book summaries are cool, yes, but how about an epic fantasy trailer featuring art, music, and self-narrated quotes? I can’t believe I made it all myself…I’m like a whole team of wizards in one awkward vessel. Behold! The Tale of Fëor and Ërna is underway! #booksky #fantasysky youtu.be/ehxwo6zL39A

He’s an herb-loving homebody who enjoys stories about questing but prefers a quaint life. He assumed that wouldn’t change—until a strange “spirit” came to his glade. Something about her seemed familiar, but she came from a world he feared. The realm of stories wasn’t supposed to be real, after all.
