The one year celebration begins! Book 5 cover inside
Added 2021-09-22 20:41:59 +0000 UTCHey all!
9/28 will mark a full year of publishing Beneath the Dragoneye Moons! To celebrate, I have a boatload of art that I'll be posting between now and then. The $10+ tier exclusive artwork already got posted, and now I've got stuff for everyone!
It's been a wonderful journey so far with everyone. I can't believe how BTDEM's popularity has exploded - by my counting, we're the 4th largest story on Royal Road! (By number of patrons ;) ) That's incredible for just a single year!
This wouldn't have been possible without all of you, your help and support. Thank you.
I want to call out some people who have made this all happen.
1) My wife. She supported me spending some serious time trying out this whole "writing" thing, back when I'd never written a word before. Without her support, I wouldn't be here.
2) Flora! My light and motivation! Lots to say about her, not much of it terribly coherent.
3) My beta readers. They put up with my terrible mauling of the English language, and knock my worst ideas out of my head. BTDEM would be a fraction of how good it is without them. I am endlessly thankful for their help
4) All of you, my patrons! Without your financial support, I don't know if I'd be here. I'd like to think I would, but who knows! I am constantly thinking about all of you, and what else I can do for you.
5) All the authors who have helped me out! From Salvos's MelasD, to Ravendagger and his thousand stories, Thundamoo and Vigor Mortis, Jiwa's Bob and Journey, Azarinth Healer and Rhaegar, the dozens of other authors I talk with, from my discord to Silver Pen to the half-dozen writer discords I'm in, and a million other stories that I've gotten inspiration from, like Mother of Learning and HPMOR!
I look forward to doing this for many more years!

Ahhh yes I see what you mean.. it was mostly the lack of a visible ear and/or lips that threw me off in that regard I guess. But yeah I see it

2021-09-23 04:50:52 +0000 UTCHuzzah and cheer. Loving the cover art though... seems a little weird how everything is nice and detailed, but then Elaine's face is all muddled, is that supposed to represent her stealth spells? Just seems odd when the whole rest of the picture isn't abstract like that. Still a very cool shot on the whole :D

2021-09-23 01:36:58 +0000 UTCYes... but this is another case of "The artist takes liberties with directions". Think chicken-egg sized.

2021-09-23 00:25:38 +0000 UTCIs that red and gold-striped egg supposed to be the one Elaine took? That's about ten times bigger than I was thinking. I may have to completely reimagine what her holding onto it all the time looks like.
