After acquiring stock of merch in the form of Cyclone stickers and King Magnets, I’ve decided to open up a little Square Online Store. I believe I’ve set it up OK for this super…light-weight usage. I will need to change things if I get a ton of orders/weird ones, but this is just to start. Feedback much appreciated. Here’s the link to it (also in the top nav).
Important Angel character name pronunciations. I need to draw the other Archangels…
This is the third part in my Sticker Mule adventure. The third act twist comes as the latest products I have ordered are not stickers, but…magnets. Magnets of How to Stop Wildfire’s first character, the first introduced character ever in the series: King Fla’neiel! The artwork I did of King that was to be made as magnets was of his helmet in a sea of black with dual lightning bolts as the sides. More abstract than the stickers of Spellbinder...
Finally! A video of me saying all of the race names of Tyra Kolaq’blegae (sans Humans) outloud. Fravier is a really weird one, yes, I know. As for the others, the inflection may change depending on context/my feelings.
Starting the year off with my usual attempt at compiling my non-spoiler, relevant artwork done in 2019. 2019 was pretty back-heavy due to my late-year Apple Pencil purchase and a few months are light/missing due to the artwork being Containment Collapse spoilers. This also doesn’t include the pieces of art that went to the custom stickers of Cyclone and Spellbinder. January None. February None. March None. April None. May None. June Few missing due to spoilers for CC. Vale'roh'gah, rando...
This afterword is about the expectations I had when writing Containment Collapse, the reality that came to be, and what lies ahead. I’ve decided to post this on the anniversary of The Madness of Light’s release as the stories that went into the writing of both are similar and it feels apt to do so. Read the afterword for TMOL here.
I realized that the website wasn’t easy for newcomers. The main site url would just go to the blog roll. Which is not that helpful for people who have no idea what is going on. So I’ve made basically a home page for the website—specifically for people new to the series and my world. It explains high-level what’s up, the characters, and includes four recent posts. The blog lives here now. Hopefully this helps people get familiar with the series...
As explained in my first Sticker Mule post, I’ve been dabbling with Sticker Mule. The first batch were die cut stickers of Cyclone. I was impressed with the results. And before I had even received them, I had ordered rectangular sticker sheets of Spellbinder stickers to see the difference between the sticker types. I chose Spellbinder for the rectangular sticker sheets as her form and dimensions seemed to best fit the format. But did the format/product fit her…? Well, I...
Okay, so after setting up Patreon, I was thinking about the idea of Special Offers and then I saw that one of the Special Offers template was for Custom Stickers…and I sort of lost it from there. Stickers! STICKERS! STICKERS! I couldn’t resist getting any if only for my own gratification. To see my characters in sticker form? How could I not want that? The website/sticker maker that I found that perked my interest and eventually sold me on their...
I’ve setup a Patreon! If you don’t know, Patreon is a way to support creators by subscribing to them. I’ve been intrigued with it for awhile. I don’t expect much to come from it, but hey, since it’s easy, I’ve made one. The only tier right now is $1/month. I’m debating on adding more tiers with some benefits to force me to do stuff, but I’ll wait until I get some interest before diving in further. So no patron-only content…same...
The Diamondae Machine, an orange pincer floating in the void of space, as seen in Threads that Bind the Tempest, has a cryptic function that is totally antithetical to existence, to the unfettered continuity of it. It is explained in a round-about way, but still, it doesn’t seem to make any sense. And making sense of it would lead to madness. And after the events of TTBTT, the Trinity and the One, especially Spellbinder, are wary of such things for...
I’ve cleaned up the Database…again. It’s faster now. New information. Cleaned up old bits and slimmed it down. Added more images. It’ll be a bit easier to manage going forward, I think.
This is so late. I got my stuff together to finally compile this.. The art I did in 2018, minus spoilers and such, organized by month: January None February Chag Xesh Tosh Mason Zfnoc King's Helmet in Darkness March None April None May TCOD Artwork And: Farrco chilling Spellbinder waving June None July Khapiela's Palace Zfnoc Meditation room Chatzu'kuan's ship August None September None October Containment Collapse raw art November None December Hequera with her wings Cyclone, arms crossed Spellbinder...
The Madness of Light is about religion—the fall of a religion.
I recently updated the entire website. I rebuilt it practically from scratch. Re-did the categories and tags, tweaked images, added more art, and so on. Should be a lot faster. I have a few more ideas and things to do with it, but for the most part it is settled! Take it in…take it in… Next up is the Database, that old thing…
