@Selax said in Fading Hopes:
Until told otherwise, I'm going to assume that means you enjoyed the story :p .
I like any story that reunites Tiernan and Katerei – it's about time – but now I'm scared for them D:
I also liked the part where Tiernan punched Selax!
I had to do some CotR-related image work yesterday, so since I had my drawing tablet out anyway, I painted concept art for a Crest scene I was writing. I only spent 3 hours on the painting, so it's pretty rough and I forgot some details, but I was more interested in playing with lighting and such to make an atmospheric piece.
The woman is Thymarai (Sverbian goddess of fertility, love, beauty, and juniper trees) with her bjørnbattai (berserker bodyguards) and spectral attendants. Are they characters in the book or just part of the lore? Are they really immortal? Who knooooows ~wiggles fingers mysteriously~
This is the last portrait for Flight, whew. Gonna take a break for awhile before starting characters in Veil.

Thanks! :) This project has been fun, though I'm now into minor characters who didn't get a lot of visual description in the story, so the design work is more labour-intensive. I plan to do one or two more portraits for book 1, and then take a break for awhile before starting on book 2 characters.
Ha yeah, the tattoos have a whole system where even the placement changes the meaning. I should write up a guide to them. If I had twice as many hours in the day, I'd love to put together a wiki for the series (that's actually one of my reasons for making these portraits, for future wiki articles.)
