Late last night I got an art piece back from Mansik Yang, one which was originally scheduled for back in August, but then disaster struck on his side of things. I really think the art was worth the wait, though.

2021-11-19 22:12:41 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, here's another chapter of Talyn: Rebirth!
In slightly different but related news, I've been in a bit of a writing slump lately. I've been having a number of issues due to insomnia, but this has been an ongoing issue since I finished Adept of Chaos. I'm very much N...

For quite some time I've been considering the idea of getting an art piece with all of what I consider the main protagonists of my series in one piece. I just couldn't justify the expense earlier on, and later I had too many of them to do a high-quality piece. I still don't, but I decided that I ...

Alright, this time around I decided to share Hero Forge approximations of the protagonists of Talyn: Rebirth, though Talyn is obviously the main protagonist. I'm a little amused that Melody came out better than Talyn, in my opinion, but that's how it goes!
Here's the next chapter for all of you! Not that much to say about it from my perspective... I hope you like a bit of worldbuilding!

It was only after the poll closed that it occurred to me...

The answer, Talyn decided, was that she was a slow, clumsy weakling who’d survived the fight with the cult leader and the alchemists more by luck and striking first than anything else. She tried to hel...
