I'm honored that so many people are interested in working with me, but I am not taking in any more artists for a good long time. At least over a year. I have set character artists, a creature artist, music artists, and completed or ongoing icons. Thank you all for your interest!

I really hate how the em dash is just becoming the default to accuse someone of AI. As someone who uses it, I'm dreading how bad that accusation will be by 2030 when I plan to publish 😭

It is incredible what the people have worked with me can come up with using such vague and minor descriptions from me! At last, the logo for my book series; Legends of the Goddess! Logo by SilverTheGreat

Proud to present the map for the world of Avalon Thanks to the amazing fantasymapshop for creating this map from the poor little doodle I sent them! The icons on the map were made by @silverthegreat.bsky.social

Some BTS for the world of this book series: most every area mentioned or visited is loosely based on the real world or its mythological counterparts! This includes people, as, besides the main cast, all names are taken from the pages of myth and history!

Just a sheet I put together of the icons I've had made by SilverTheGreat! Just a style change for icons. Eventually, they will all be done in this style, but these were more immediate, so I can submit an update for the map of Avalon!

If I am ever blessed enough to have a team and a huge budget, I really want to go the video game route again alongside the book route.
The art style of the Dragon Quest HD2D remakes is beautiful and exactly what I would want!

A major thing about this trilogy: there's a five-year time skip between books 1 and 2. And yes, the scar is explained in book 1 ;)
Gouketsu Tenshou - 5 years later
Thank you so much @meilon-soda.bsky.social ! The surprise bust deal was amazing! :D

Two in one day!?
Thank you so much to @shellyartist.bsky.social for the Elephunk Beast Tribe icon!
On the eastern side of Avalon, across the vast desert of Sahara, lives one of the most feared of the beast tribes — the hulking elephunk. Towering to the size of an average house, the elephunks live in large groups near caves and mountains, often in close proximity to their natural rivals, the rynocs. Boasting no natural predators and an intelligence equal to most men, the elephunk remains a high-risk threat to any would-be adventurers of East Avalon. While the Empire has no goals of entering diplomatic negotiations with the beasts, it is unlikely they would agree to anything less than all inhabitants of Avalon subjugating themselves to their rule. With no end in sight for their constant need for conflict, all adventurers of Avalon are advised to avoid these beasts.

The icon for the Blemmyes beast tribe! Made by the lovely @rikochan380.bsky.social !
A remnant of a long-forgotten era, the blemmyes are one of Avalon’s strangest tribes.
#blemmyes #legendsofthegoddess #writer #author #fantasy
A remnant of a long-forgotten era, the blemmyes are one of Avalon’s strangest tribes. Standing at an imposing three meters tall, they are among the strangest of Avalon’s beast tribes. Their appearance is highly unsettling to the everyday adventurer, with a face that sits squarely on the chest, eyes aligned with the shoulders, and great, gaping mouths in the abdomen. These bizarre traits, unchanged for centuries, speak to a lineage untouched and left behind by the refinements of time. While the blemmyes have been around for hundreds of years, much of their older history was lost after the great flood that wiped out 90% of their territory and species. Before the flood, they inhabited the vast deserts that once connected the Egyptian islands to Lemuria and Sahara. Now, the dwindling population of blemmyes can often be found at war with humans, goblins, elephunks, and rynocs, since they’ve spread themselves over the entire continent—often at odds with the goblins more than any other, since most of their territory is ideal for the blemmyes. The blemmyes, unfortunately, lack the intelligence that the other beast tribes have evolved to possess. Communication is reduced to crude screams and roars, often misunderstood even among themselves.

Thank you @goddessleona.bsky.social for the Rynoc icon! These guys might be small, but they're just as tough as ten men. Can't wait to have them added to my map and to eventually have it on the rynoc field guide video far down the line!
#art #commission #writer #author #LegendsoftheGoddess #LotG
Even though they’re powerful, rynocs are usually docile until provoked and will avoid crossing paths with other beast tribes and humans. Unlike their neighbors, the rynocs attempt to remain neutral unless threatened; some have even integrated into both Tenshou and Jigoku-controlled lands as workers. Those that have moved into human society are unnatural outliers but have been some of the most intelligent members of the rynoc family, contributing to the vast markets of Tenshou and Jigoku. Those that choose to remain in their wild territories are usually successful at protecting their lands, even having been documented teaming up with humans and elephunks to fight off dragons invading their land. Intelligent, powerful, short, and some may even argue cute, the rynoc is a versatile species and one of Avalon’s most successful. If they continue to evolve in the direction they have been since they were discovered before the flood, then many believe they will eventually fully integrate into human society. One can only hope that these mighty warriors will one day cooperate with mankind.

Just a quick throw together on the page for the Tenshou Nation! I plan to have more of a description and history when I have time to flesh that out, but for now, this is a nice start!
