I've been working on this for 1½ months, but it's finally done. Fanart for the online book Pale Lights, with a lineup of Thirteenth. And their very close associates.

Thirteenth brigade lineup with height markers behind them.

Fortuna, Izel, Tristan, Angharad, Song, Maryam, Hooks and Ishanvi.

Some amusing facts: Ishanvi's small size combined with Izel's height and Angie's growth spurt means we're finally starting to have real height variation among the human members of Thirteenth.

Ishanvi - Book 3

Last character to the Pale Lights Thirteenth fanart lineup I have been working on for several weeks. Back-up member, I guess. Or on trial?

Almost done with adding characters to my Book 3 Thirteenth fanart lineup for Pale Lights.

Hooks is so extra here, she's even outdoing Fortuna. I really like how the murder of gloam turned out.

A very pale skinned young woman doing dark-themed magic summoning magic crows. She's wearing a Renaissance styled blue dress with red rose patterns and flowery headwear.
The dress is loosely based on a 17th century Hungarian piece. Even if my very modern graphic roses really just is me giving into my love of drawing those.

I'm still working on my Pale Lights Book 3 fanart lineup. Time for Izel.

I had fun adding a few bright and bold patterns to his design as well.

Fanart for the online book Pale Lights

Fun with Fortuna, the wine aunt goddess of desperate long odds bets.

My favourite probably is the human Fortuna.

Fortuna to be added to my ongoing fanart of a Pale Lights Book 3 Thirteenth Brigade lineup.

This one has very 1660ties inspired fashion.

B3 Maryam - Pale Lights Fanart

I really should make a brush for her cloak pattern. It'd save me some work long term.

Friend made me read Pale Lights so I had to try my hand at drawing the big beastie
(I'd like to draw the mayura too. Later probably) #art #fanart #palelights

A digital sketch of a many-headed elephant creature. We're seeing the left side of the creature, with three heads visible; two more heads are hinted to be on the other side. Each head has six eyes and four tusks: two on the upper jaw and two on the lower jaw

Pale Lights Book 3 - Angharad

Working on a Thirteenth lineup.

Angharad: Now with extra weapons upgrades, so I spent far too long figuring out all the needed equipment for her firearms.

Working on a Book 3 Thirteenth lineup for the online book Pale Lights.

Not entirely sure about the background tones, so may end up changing everything once I have more characters done.

Princess Yaotl

Fanart for the online book Pale Lights.

I had fun with Yaotl's face paint More than one way it can be done, but it certainly is graphic.

Postcard sized watercolour picture.

Silly Pale Lights sketch fanart: Genderbend Thirteenth.

Because the Discord moves in strange directions.

Tristan's hair is even more of a bird's nest now that I made it long.

Song is my fave in all of this.

Success. But at what cost?

Pale Lights fanart intermission 2025. Izel and Angharad.

Please ignore the extreme lack of furniture. Sakkas ate it.

Pale Lights #fanart redraw as an April Fools' joke. Then I turned it into a comparison.
Combining periods and styles for fantasy is perfectly fine. But if you want to give a period feel, find what you feel define it.
