Do you like dark fantasy?
Did you like Tales of Earthsea?
Small slow burning stories that eventually overrun to cosmic changes?
What about lots of lore and connections waiting to be found?
You will like my writing, give it a read and let me know what you think. It's the only way I can get better

Something I wrote because I had such a vision in my head I couldn’t rest until it was on paper.
A Vulpine wakes on the shores of a strange land. He does not know who he is or where he’s from. But he finds another clinging to life that offers him his first clue.

Just some morning inspiration thoughts as I listen to Beethoven this morning!
Where does your inspiration come from? Do you think it's the beginning of the process or part of it?
I'd love to hear what your biggest inspirations are!

I stand that most modern fantasy book covers are boring and drab.
GIVE ME WEIRDNESS! GIVE ME CRAZY ART!
I don't want some obscure symbol with LARGE BRICK LETTERS

I LOVE old 60s-80s fantasy book covers. They can be absolutely insane in the best way. I've started trying to find the best ones whenever I am in a book store.

Just a random rough animation I did the other day of my design of Allan from Smiling Friends! 🧀
I've done animation off and on just for fun as a hobby within the last 20 years! (I made my first flipbook in 2004!) I like to practice with doing these short clips to try and improve more at it! :D

Finally beat Ghost of Yotei
Going at it on lethal was not the greatest decision but I got through the whole game without changing it once (including Takezo the Unrivaled)

I run into this all the time but consider it a strength
I spend lots of time crafting how a world works and interacts with itself. Then i drop a character in who makes their own decisions and run "simulations" of how it effects the rest of the world.
The world is crafted
The story is winging it

Your friendly semi-regular reminder that the single greatest way to help your favorite authors is to rate and review the books you've read. Goodreads, Itch, Kindle, they all give you the opportunity to rate/review and it REALLY helps us get visibility!

Don’t expect tales of bad guys and good guys, of swords and spells that save the land.
At the end of the day, all of the inhabitants of the Eusiran Islands are just people living in an unfair world, making choices that ripple to others around them
