Commissioned Art #14 - Chandry's Character Sheet
Well......... he's here......... you asked for it, so I hope you guys are happy!.................. 🙂🙂🙂
I'm just kidding, lol! Truth to be told, I was far more embarrassed to turn in my character references for Chandry to our character sheet artist (cutetanuki-chan) than she was to receive them; there was a blithe lack of comment from her when I self-consciously told her she shoul...

Greetings! We've got another legendary weapon codex entry, fresh off the presses! I think it's so badass that your MC can potentially run around with a sawn-off shotgun, blasting holes through people like it's nothing... What do you think of this concept art? I especially love the dragon-like design! 🤩🐉
I hope you enjoy! ✨

Weapon Codex Entry (Clarion)
Hi there, here's the first of our legendary weapon codex entries, starting with Clarion, the Skyshard! ✨
Please keep in mind that these are not canonical designs, but my and the artist's personal takes, meant to be experimental concept art only! This is the vibe I personally envision for Clarion, but we provide alternate sketches, colors, and designs if something else get...

Hello everybody! I hope your Augusts are going swimmingly! 🙌🙆🏻♀️
So a little quick update on how things are going... As I mentioned in my last alpha build post, I've suddenly and unexpectedly resumed work on my second novel, and in roughly 5 weeks, I've completed 50,000 words on it! 😱 This is extremely fast, especially for me, the slow plotter/plodder! Coupled with the ...

Chapter One
Prihine loved being a widow.
Well, hers was a unique situation: she was a widow who had never married, at least in the eyes of the law. The late Autarch had granted her a legal annulment to inoculate her from Turti’s guilt, as the two of them had never consu...

Weapon Codex Entry (Croelle's Whip-Sword)
Hello friends! It turns out I lied: our concept artist was able to get Croelle's weapon done in time for this month! 👀 I tried to be vague and more succinct than I usually am with the weapons for the sake of spoilers, but if you've read Croelle's short story on here, you know what's up! Otherwise, SPOILERS AHOY!
I hope you enjoy--and the other codex entries are below!<...

I have got to know how bad Halek would tease Naolin if Naolin and MC were kinda crushing but being so so awkward about it (let me live in my delulu world for a second)
Halek turned to give his brother a long, significant look, arching his brows so meaningfully that the effect was almost comical.
Naolin glowered at him. "What?" he asked betwe...

Hello everyone! This month's goodie was supposed to be Croelle's weapon art, but unfortunately, our usual weapon concept artist hasn't returned to work yet, so it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer for that as well as the legendary weapons art!

Hi Lena, I’ve recently started re-reading The Lord of the Rings and it’s got me wondering…. How would the Shepherds take to a stay in the Shire? Who is living out their cottagecore dreams and who absolutely “needs to get away from these country bumpkins!”
I just have to tell you that the thought of this absolutely made me burst out laughing, so t...

Hi everyone!
