A Little Artwork
Never Killed Nobody

I like to draw, sometimes! I even got an art minor in college. Ah, those were the days. I generally work in pencil sketches, though I often convert those sketches to digital art. Most of the work featured here has something to do with my writing in some way or another; the rest is scattered across various points on the internet. Some may be familiar to those who have found my other haunts.

This one's just for fun. I like heraldry a lot, and frequently play around with it for characters of mine. This one is just for me, though; a lozenge, because I am ostensibly female, per saltire sable and vert, a duck rampant (yes I know ducks can't traditionally be rampant) or, in chief three mullets or.

This is a representation of one of the "vandyren" (singular "vandyr") that feature in my novel, Breaking Down the Walls. This one is of the "Hound" variety. There is also a bear-like "Ursid" variety, as well as a huge and mysterious variant only rarely glimpsed by the veterans beyond the wall. These hounds are the most common, and the least threatening. They grow smarter in packs, however, and their saliva burns like acid.

This fella's name is Agni, and he is a "riding wyvern"--a species found in the first novel I ever wrote, loosely titled Skyfall. I may go back and refine that work one of these days, but some of the concepts are being transmuted into my ongoing world-building with my Dragon Western. Like these riding wyverns, for instance! This was a pretty early concept, but I still generally like the feel of it.
