The art within Sword of the Sea is beyond beautiful and impressive. It is nothing short of a tragedy Natalie is looking for work right now. Please share this and hire her ASAP.

Some Shrike concepts what I did for Mortal Engines movie

Quick colored sketch commission for @zande.bsky.social with their OC, Lan Yi. I had a lot of fun illustrating her, thank you so much again!

On this day 10 years ago (!) I received my first author copies of Children of Time.

As some of you may know, I’m a big Star Wars nerd 😔 So why not doodle one of the best intergalactic battles in cinema history

The fated battle under the stormy night between the warrior Erin against the badass monster known as the Axe Beast. Thanks for the request, @zande.bsky.social! pixiv.net/en/artworks/... #originalcharacters #OC #art #illustration #Commission #commissionart

Mecha girl of all time

Fan art for @aptshadow.bsky.social's amazing Children of Time series :)

A drawing of an ancient guardian I drew when I was a young lad!

New OC (who exists for exposition and so far appears in one panel)!

My fifteenth book comes out this year, yet still, every time I write another, I’m convinced I’ve completely forgotten how to do it. Every time. But my motto: real writers don’t write, they write anyway.

Ultra-Nautilus commissioned by @Xande358 #Commission #Cosmic #sciencefiction #creature

A comission from @osenart.bsky.social (reposted with permission). Thank you for an awesome com! In the space between spaces, the ultra-nautilus dwells. Despite its terrifying size, it is neither good nor evil, and is too big to be a threat to us in our bubble universes. #scifiart #commission

愛しか詰まってないな
