more on this rat bastard, since apparently i don’t draw full pieces unless i have lectures to half-attend to.

A few colored pencil pieces I did about 11 years ago, illustrating various interesting things found within Seryn's southernmost mountain cave system, known as Aten Raclaw. These were all done on notecards of various sizes with humble Crayola pencils, and I had intended to complete many more. Maybe I'll pick up the project again in the future. Aten Raclaw, in Seryn lore, is filled with beauty and mystery, and has long been home to ancient ruins that have been converted into a monastery for those studying the movements of the Celestial Deity Janak and his domain of spirit energies. It houses Seryn's oldest and most remarkable library, as well as ancient fixtures yet to be fully understood. There are still plenty of caves and ruins that have not been explored and mapped, sometimes due to dangerous conditions.

I was originally inspired to draw these as I was watching my favorite movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959). I've loved it since my toddler years, though back then I didn't understand the story so much as I just liked seeing the caves.
