The Fifth Season

Anyways, two of the main characters that i love the most, Alabaster (the dude) and Syenite (the girl). drawing things from books is so weird because like, yeah theres some basic descriptions and stuff, but you kinda get to make a lot of it up

because I wanted to draw my version of Schaffa…and tiny Damaya

Cleaned up a bit, can’t decide which I like better.

Keep reading

Alabaster doesn’t reply for a moment. She’s decided that he won’t, when he says, “I will tear the whole world apart if they ever hurt us again.”

bought a fountain pen on a whim and drew [REDACTED] in the obelisk from The Fifth Season because why not

Some worlds are built on a fault line of pain, held up by nightmares. Don’t lament when those worlds fall. Rage that they were built doomed in the first place.

“This is what you must remember: the ending of one story is just the beginning of another. This has happened before, after all. People die. Old orders pass. New societies are born. When we say “the world has ended,” it’s usually a lie, because the planet is just fine. But this is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. For the last time.”

Have you read the Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin ? I think this trilogy is so good ! I’ve read the two first books in French en bought the third book in English because I cannot wait to know the end !

book: the fifth season by n. k. jemisin

Ykka from The Fifth Season/The Broken Earth, AGAIN.

I thought I was done for today, but then I hit play on the audiobook and there was a Nassun chapter and I noticed my little bottle of ultramarine ink….. Again, from The Broken Earth by N. K. Jemisin.

More fanart of The Broken Earth. I’ll have to work a bit more on Essun, she doesn’t feel quite right yet. And I am very much in love with Ykka, can you tell?

Tonkee from N. K. Jemisin’s The Broken Earth. PLEASE read these books, they are AMAZING! I have never been as stressed out about a book as I was with the ending of book 2.

Drew Ykka from The Broken Earth (by NK Jemisin) yesterday! It’s such a good book series, I highly recommend it. Most of the main characters are WoC and there are so many amazing queer characters too!
