Was doodling on the signed hardcovers of Feral Flame, and why the hell not.

Six thumbnails and six references! Alfred Kowalski's wolves were the main source of inspiration for this piece (as well as Remington's wolf on the top-left there), and for color/rocks/trees I totally stole from Carl Eduard Blechen's painting (top-right).

Vajra! So rude! It's not like he personally shot you or those other millions of people he's responsible for murdering in the face!

Each signed/doodled copy of Feral Flame that I'll sell at MFF will come with a "Voice of the Canids" print on top-quality baryta photo paper, crafted by a pro local print shop, signed in red ink with my gay fountain pen.

ONE MONTH! For those who didn't know, I'll be a Guest of Honor at @furfest.org this year! I'll be doing a bunch of panels and selling the first ever signed/doodled editions of Feral Flame. Who am I gonna see there?
November 5, 2025 at 3:14 PM
Hardcovers arrived today, and I spent hours unpacking and checking each copy by hand. Tomorrow I'll start signing/doodling, which should take me about a week to finish. This wall behind me is just what I could fit on the desk, but there are so many more.

🎧 HEADPHONES ON! 🔈
Here’s a teaser of some of the work that @foxamoore.bsky.social has been doing for the Noss Saga. Each audiobook has a unique orchestrated intro/outro, serving as bookends that blend motifs from the book’s songs.

ONE WEEK TILL RELEASE!
But you can pre-order Feral Flame right now, directly on my site: www.joaquinbaldwin.com/pages/book4

Paperbacks of Feral Flame have arrived! These I'll sign for MFF. The hardcovers should arrive tomorrow (those I'll sign/doodle/add secret messages to). Got LOTS of work to do.

Some details from "Voice of the Canids." The core brushes are textured with a canvas pattern, but on top of that there are crack layers, subtle impasto layers, and paint glare layers to make the dark areas have a sheen like dark paint would.

Very friendly hummingbird at the arboretum today. He returned to the same branch several times.

Here are a few crops to show all the textures. This was painted with @maxulichney.bsky.social's oil brush pack for Procreate.

I've gotten three of these scammer replies in the last couple of hours. Always accounts with semi-shitty anime profile pics and stolen not-amazing portfolios so they look more believable than hardcore AI stuff. Report and block, but it's getting annoying.

I'm going to be selling signed hardcovers AND paperbacks at MFF, and although the paperbacks don't have secret messages and doodles and extras, SOME of them are bedoodled. As I was signing copies today, I dropped a bunch of random drawings in there too from time to time.
Some be tiny.
