I finally finished the cover artwork for Caecilian, my current big fanfiction project, and right in time for Chapter 4: Crossing the Threshold to be posted! I wanted something that put both Miranda and Aaravi next to each other, to show off their physical differences that are at full display inside Caecilian, and also to practice rendering water, as much as it kills me.

If you don't know what Caecilian is, in short: Aaravi has just newly entered into a relationship with Miranda, but the full context of that relationship is beyond her. She might call her her wife or her girlfriend, but in truth they are something called "ul'kiha", which exists as a cultural concept within the Merkingdom but Aaravi can only approximate.

And Chapter 7 of Caecilian is finally up! Certain elements start to show their faces, and Aaravi and Miranda both have a very awful end to a very long day. With this chapter done, Aaravi has finally finished her first day inside the Palace, the same day that took up chapters 5, 6, and 7. Next time, she finally gets to move onto March 14th.
