"Firstborn" Seeing as they've been in people's hands for a while, figured I'd start posting some of the bonus art! Anyone remember the early sketch from 2022? Desiring to include it in the print book finally spurred me into finishing it this year! #GuildWars2 #GW2 #Trahearne #Malyck #sylvari #art

Drawing of Trahearne and Malyck from Guild Wars 2. Trahearne is bound by thorns as Malyck reaches his hand to the side of Trahearne's face.

Stoked I finished Moby Dick during my flight back, and doubly stoked seeing this passage in-context! I remember @/unsounded.bsky.social once quoted this passage in answer to someone's question about where Unsounded's title originated - It always intrigued me to read the book if I had chance to

Photograph of a a page from Moby Dick on an e-reader screen taken aboard a plane in-flight. Highlighted text reads:

"By heaven, man, we are turned round and round in this world, like yonder windlass, and Fate is the handspike. And all the time, lo! that smiling sky, and this unsounded sea!"

Mr. Leon Kennedy Played an RE game for the first time knowing very little about this franchise - this moment was very memorable because I hadn't been expecting it at all, haha #re9 #ResidentEvil #LeonKennedy #art #sketch

Drawing of Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil: Requiem being attacked by the "Tyrant." The Tyrant is mostly off-camera; we see only a glimpse of his arm and hand, which grasp Leon.

"I'll see you tomorrow." (Just a sketch-idea I wanted to try)

Two duskbirds stand on a hilltop at night, watching the moon. Text reads:

Duskbird A:
Do you think we'll be here tomororw?

Duskbird B:
... I think so.

Duskbird A:

My printer recently offered to try a "Rainbow Holographic" cover test for me! They normally don't do this type of lamination for their perfect-bound books, but seemed as curious as I was if it'd work for "The Harbinger's Path" Pleased to report it was a successful test! #TheHarbingersPath #comics

Omg yes, that is a lovely way of thinking about how it connects with him. :'D Especially with how absorbing himself with the knowledge of Orr was a significant part of his life's purpose! This part on the GW3 page makes me think the action RPG exploration will be extremely satisfying :D

Look at those birds! I can't not laugh at them Initially planned only on the blue shrimp, as I'd been looking for an amusing card holder. Found the birds later, and friends went, "It's on-theme for Duskbirds!" and I didn't need much convincing after that More photos! landylachs.com/sketchblog/2...
