Emerging from hiatus to briefly say I'm going to be on tour for the release of The Library at Hellebore. I hope to see some of y'all on the road (All my love to @alwayscoffee.bsky.social for making this graphic)

This week, we were joined by author of the Tarkir: Dragonstorm main set story, @casskhaw.bsky.social! We talk about writing Narset, Elspeth, the deeply depressed cat dad Ajani, and of course the best dragon of them all. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Shamelessly slinking back in for a sec before I check back out of bluesky indefinitely to say that there is a preview of my upcoming book The Library at Hellebore that you can download! torpublishinggroup.com/sneak-peek-f...

im done for now, sarkhan slipping into taigam's black magic #MTGDragonstorm

HE NOT DEAD

I kind of wanted to talk a bit about the well I've been drawing from for the Tarkir stories. It's a simple one, honestly: grief.

Absolutely no one asked but yes, I'm referencing Vietnamese coffee in this story.

Not me quietly reading everyone's theories about what's going down in Tarkir. (I think two people actually guessed correctly and I'm so not telling you who.)

[stares innocently at camera]

There's a lot about Sarkhan that resonates with me, all said and done, particularly his need to be move freely in the form he's happiest in. And I've been writing his scenes from a place of memory.

I lied here’s one more to use as a reaction image (please use it responsibly friends)

Couldn't do elspeth justice so I just doodled ajani and gazelle

HAVE ANOTHER QUICK SKETCH honestly what did he think was going to happen-

Here's a quick sketch I did on my break

I AM DECEASED OF CUTE

I have no interesting trivia to share about today's story but if anyone makes fan art of elspeth going one punch man on a certain somebody, dear God tag me

I'm clearly coming back periodically until the Tarkir stories are all out. So, here's a quick introduction to a Cass! I lift weights, do pole, and have Very Large Cats.

Update it was difficult but I drew some stuff through the splint [ #dailydrawing #mhabart #mtgtdm ]

Literally only coming onto blue sky to say that the mask thing that the performers are using in the story is based on something used in Chinese Opera! It's called bian lian and it's incredibly cool!
