WIP Wednesday

I present you with Viago de Riva (with the only biblically accurate hair). Still to be coloured, but I already like it very, very much, what a beautiful man he is. I imagine that this might be something he wore to the Lago di Novo Talons meeting.

His attire is very loosely based on victorian and regency fashion. The boots he wears in the game stayed, they look quite nice here. And the walking stick is based on the description from Eight Little Talons.

and then party banter happens and spite it like "omg can we take the pretty girl flying?? also that lady had a crush on you. also manfred has hands?????"

“When am I ever not energized?”

“Certain mornings.”

Sketched a little thing with my warden Amell, kind of my interpretation of the Blood Control spell from dao

modern au where viago gets rook a job where he works and threatens rook to not embarrass him but oh no the ceo has two grandsons and oh no they’re hot

When Life Gives You Corpses is a brilliant YA about a cursed praying mantis who falls for a young witch. Yield Under Great Persuasion is a raunchy, but surprisingly sweet story of two men repairing their relationship. Fabulous Bodies is a horror story about a queer rockstar rising from the dead.

This is Where the Future Bleeds is a fantasy set in a vividly imagined land, where two women (who happen to kiss) are the key to healing the broken sky. You're No Better is a story about a teen struggling in the shadow of his murderous parent. Oil on Canvas is about a woman who finds disturbing paintings in the home of her dead mother.

Salts of Mercury is the best book I've read this year and features a non-binary necromancer explaining why they did all that treason.

An Unexpected Attachment is an erotic novella about an android who's just got a penis attachment and wants to try it out for the first time.

I couldn't leave this in the tags!

You've got people out here making youtube videos about the legacy of dragons and dragonriding in fantasy fiction without talking about the dragonriding Grand Master of SFF herself Anne McCaffrey.

This isn't some obscure thing where I'm trying to promote someone who is only kind of known because of forgotten representation. Anne McCaffrey was A HOUSEHOLD NAME when I was a kid when it comes to fantasy literature. She's the first woman to win a Hugo and to win a Nebula. In 2002 there was a TV pilot filmed for Dragonriders of Pern.

Eragon, Temeraire, Toothless, and the dragons of Fourth Wing exist because these people grew up on the blueprint set by the Pern novels. Talking about dragons and not mentioning Pern is like talking about Orcs and not mentioning Lord of the Rings.
