Part of what makes the Malazan series of books is that along with their vast epicness - there are moments of great humanity and Humor! Here’s another scene from Return of the Crimson Guard; one featuring Sergeant Jumpy. He probably deserves more respect than what I gave him here, but that’s life in the Malazan Army. #malazanempire #fanart #fantasyfanart #cartooning #malazanuniverse #malazanmarch #malazanbookofthefallen #returnofthecrimsonguard https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDj7sTpgW7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This Malazan March piece was a line-art sketch, later colored in Photoshop. Lostara Yil: Red Blade Captain, shadow dancer & bone hunter - a favorite character from the Malazan Book of the Fallen. #fanart #malazanuniverse #fantasyfanart #characterdesign #malazanmarch #drawing #malazan #malazanbookofthefallen https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2v3G1LOYe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This piece, which I call The Tiger of Summer has been described to me as “metal.” I’ve alternatively called it ⚔️Mortal Sword⚔️ but you’d have to read the books series to know why. #illustration #malazanbookofthefallen #fanart #fantasyart #malazanuniverse #malazanmarch #memoriesofice https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0KKCqrcHB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Have I ever told you I’ll occasionally draw in the dark? I like to imagine it helps with muscle memory, shapes and forms and such. That’s how I drew this Trull Sengar, depicting one of his great trials in Midnight Tides, book 4 of the Malazan Book of the Fallen. #malazanbookofthefallen #fanart #drawing #blackandwhiteart #midnighttides #malazanuniverse #malazanmarch #spear #kungfu https://www.instagram.com/p/CMhkKSEjSoR/?igshid=1vyc6qpbacnh6

I admit I’ve been lagging on today’s post - it heralds the end of my 2021 Malazan March. It was a great fun, uncovering some some classic pieces, revisiting others and delivering a special new piece ➡️(created on software I’m just learning: this will be the subject of a forthcoming newsletter so be sure to subscribe🔝). Now that we’ve arrived we must end strong. Meet RELL THE PROTECTOR In a scene in the book RETURN OF THE CRIMSON GUARD. Not part of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, but book two of its sister series - Malazan Empire. #malazanempire #linkinbio #malazanmarch #malazanuniverse #malazanbookofthefallen #fanart #fantasyart #fantasyfanart #illustration #swords #swordsman #werewolf #martialarts #dao https://www.instagram.com/p/CNF8D2SjGbW/?igshid=1mif39hvysedz
