🏕 The Red Riders’ Camp from the comic “Imleriсh: The Tiger and the Bird”🐯✨
I understand that people don’t read this project just to admire the backgrounds.
But, as in any fantasy world, in books it’s important to describe the setting and the structure of the world, and in comics — to show it.
After all, everything here is imagined, with its...
Lammas, also called the Ripening or the Feast of the Sickle, is the festival of harvest — a celebration of reaping and gathering the crops. It is one of the solemn magical dates in the Elven calendar, celebrated in early August. It marks the beginning of the seventh, penultimate month of the Elven year — Lammas, or the Month of the Sickle.
For the elves, Lammas is a sacred rite of gratitude to the land and the ancestors. It was believed that during these days, the Maiden of t...

Dhorvél aén Morvran aep Étaín — a half-blood at the edge of two worlds.
Aen Teyrn Leathdhor — The half-blood Lord
His name means "The Half-Blood from the House of Dark Ravens son of Étaín "
This character will play an important role in the comic, showing that elven society is far from monolithic. Among the Aen Elle, there are half-bloods — extremely rare children born of unions with royal humans. Such marriages were only ever arranged in exceptional circumstances...

2025-07-31 17:12:49 +0000 UTC View PostAs I’ve written before, not all elven names in Sapkowski’s universe follow the canonical patterns of matronymic lineage or territorial origin. Some of them are true ciphers — subtle references to mythology, legends, or the nature of the characters themselves.
Here are the interpretations I personally find most plausible 👇
🩸 Eredin Bréacc Glas
🔹 "Eredin" is likely a reference to Eridanus, the Latin n...
2025-07-29 20:23:03 +0000 UTC View PostAmong the elves, a name is not just a personal identifier — it's a vital part of one's identity, deeply tied to origin and lineage. In most cases, lineage is traced through the mother, not the father — as we see with Lara Dorren aep Shiadhal.
⠀
🔹 Aep is a marker of maternal descent — similar to a “matronymic” — indicating one’s connection to a mother’s lineage or house.
🔹 This can refer to either the mother’s

“For the full picture, could we please get a lecture on elven marriage customs?
2025-07-26 16:50:35 +0000 UTC View Post
I mean, Eredin’s nephew wasn’t born within a marriage, right? So does that mean elves don’t have a concept of ‘illegitimate children’?
And Avallac’h was supposed to marry Lara, but that was a purely political marriage, correct? Since she allowed herself to fall in love with a human.
But then Avallac’h fathered Caranthir — if I understood corr...

Right now, I’m working on an illustration for the official edition of Andrzej Sapkowski’s new book, "The Crossroads of Ravens"
The deadlines are quite tight — the artwork is expected to be sent to the author’s agent by the end of the month for approval.
Honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised that the publisher truly cares about the author’s opinion — and for me, that makes it all the more exciting 💛

Note:
During Birke (the spring equinox), mages inscribe new runic symbols onto the skin of young elves or their amulets to protect them for the coming year. The number of renewed runes is often used to indicate the child’s age.

2025-07-13 13:11:54 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve been asked several times why all of Mermelil’s ladies-in-waiting have dark hair.
Let me remind you that in House Ghillen, most women are fair-haired, and their clothing resembles what Aenyell wears.
I decided to borrow a tradition from royal courts, where a queen or highborn lady sets the fashion — not only for dresses, but also for makeup, hairstyles, and even hair color.

By the way, in Chapter 16 I drew Filavandrel aén Fidháil of the Silver Towers from House Feleaorn of the White Ships, but I didn't specify that it was him. But I was very pleased when several people recognized him and wrote to me about it.💜 Thank you for your attention to detail.

📜 I was asked what the names of Imlerich and Leomhan mean. Here's my answer:
Imlerich
💬 “All-powerful ruler” — a classic Germanic name, fitting for a warlord or commander.
Fiomhar (Irish: Fómhar)
🍂 “Harvest”, “autumn”
💭 Associated with maturity, abundance — and the quiet beginning of decay.
