Whoah, whoah, whoah! Back up! Erstwhile familiar? What happened to Proty? Did I miss the memo, or is this referring to an event which hasn't come up on the Story Hour yet?

Nope, I'm just misused the word when I was thinking about the flashback of the mini bio. Proty is alive, well, and squirming!

Well, aside from Bjork being a tiny, tiny person. Tao is a brick house. 5'10" and something like 13 stone. Not fat. Oh no. Think rower, female rugby or volleyball player, and you've got the type. Valkyrie (did I spell that right?).

I never did finish that picture of Tao to my own satisfaction. Perhaps in a few days when my current crisis is over I'll take another shot at it.

Meanwhile, here's one of Rides the Sun, over Eversink:

And Tipic, Kirisandra's willful and drunken familiar.
I'm leaving out the portrait of Kiri that goes with this, 'cause it's a photoshop job on an actual photo. Tipic is wholecloth "art" though, 'cause I drew him all by myself. Except for the bottle. And the frame.

I swiped the building, but I modified it a lot. Points if you can recognize the source--you of all people on this board might.

The gondola is also swiped and modified, but from a different photo.

The rest is all mine.

And Nolin's Ring of Incontinence.

Another Photoshop job for you purists--but you have to appreciate that what I started from was photos of leaves of actual plants: castor leaf, senna, flax, psyllium . . . hey, it's not only magical, it's herbal and all natural!

wow!
those are outstanding!

I am not crazt over the B&W stuff, but that is just because the painted style color pics are so atmospheric, there's nothing wrong with the b&w'd they just aren't as cool imo.
(But still very nice! )

I'm really liking the style there.

So when are you going to publish a setting book then?!
