I don't know about y'all, but my timeline needs some good news.
Here's my attempt at brightening your day. I'm uploading the third and final #FlameAndClaw book today! The entire trilogy, released at last!
To celebrate, have the 'Saras in Stereo' gift image I made for @magicariot.com and focus pics.
Digital art of Sara Osborn, the main character of the Flame & Claw trilogy, and Sara Ward aka 'Riot Red', the leader of Magica Riot both posing in their magical girl forms. Sara Osborn is in a fighting stance with her armor summoned, claws out and glowing blue. Riot Red has her weapon the might ax guitar slung about her and has a pic raised above her head, ready to deliver a massive power chord… or cleave a baddie, whichever. As Magica Riot is set in Portland, Oregon and Flame & Claw is set in Seattle, WA, the words "P.N.W. (Pacific Northwest) Magical Girls Unite!" is splashed graffiti style across the image in white letters that glow softly purple. Sara Ward is the property of Kara Buchanan and Sara Osborn is the property of Devlin James. Digital art of Sara Osborn, the main character of the Flame & Claw trilogy in her transformed state. She's in a fighting stance with her armor summoned, claws out and glowing blue against a solid black background. Sara Osborn is the property of Devlin James.

Digital art flier for a set of images featuring the main character of the Flame & Claw trilogy by Devlin James, Sara Osborn! In the the first of four teaser images, Sara's taking a much needed break from fighting evil Angels and saving humanity to catch some rays by the pool. She's sitting on a dividing wall, still dripping wet from her swim. She's wearing a blue one piece swimsuit and smiling at the camera with blue sunglasses perched on her nose. In the second pic, she's traded the swimsuit for a center-tied blue and white striped bikini. In the third, she's covered up the bikini a bit with a blue tee shirt that reads "Sailor Moonies Unite!". In the fourth, she's lost the sunglasses, and apparently all her clothes - the picture is censored.

Nick is up in his bedroom, wrapping his gifts for everybody.

As for the cats, Diane is on the couch with the other ladies, peering out through a gap in the blanket.

And Arthur? No one knows where he is. Be worried.

Happy Holidays to all, and to all a good night!

Our main character's kid brother and occasional hostage to fortune, Nick.
Why no, there's no great hint to the trilogy's plot in this picture.

Shifting gears a bit. This guy gets very little screen time, but he's the big bad: Gabriel, Lord of the Angels.
And yes, he does consider all mortals something akin to stuff he found stuck to his shoe...
Gabriel, Lord of the Angels looking down his nose at everything that isn't him. I had a lot of fun veering into a different style for the Angels as opposed to the more anime-style Shard portraits.

Next up is the leader of the good guys and man of SOOOOO many mysteries - Rock.
Yeah, that's a nickname, but his real name is just one of those mysteries I mentioned.
Rock, looking extra mysterious... Dang those are shiny boot toes.

Next is Patrick Fisher, bearer of the wing shard and our resident god of Sexy Lawyers. His Shard gives him the power to channel wind and fly, but his wings erupt form his back, which does a number on his wardrobe.

Behold the Voices in My Head! First up! This is Sara Osborne, the main character of the #FlameAndClaw trilogy.
Her armor comes form the Shard of the Dragon embedded in her soul. Of course, being the geek she is, she thinks this makes her an official Magical Girl.
Sara: "AhEM!"
Sorry, Magical Woman.
Sara Osborne, bearer of the Claw Shard, with her armor summoned and in a steady fighting stance. She's ready for trouble, anyone wanna provide?
