Tarskia of the Starklands, a woman whose mirth matched her frame, strode down from the frozen north into the cities where the banner of the Everlasting Empire once flew, to see what they had to offer her. I commissioned @artofcaustic.bsky.social and he more than delivered!

Since I'm posting Conan and Dracula, I should finish up with the fantastic crossover commission I got from Ron Frenz.

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.
