He was ancient, I knew that. But in that moment, he was just a boy - brilliant, blessed with too much power, burdened by an eternity.

Beautiful. Thank you
Did Genya use Dekora Nevich, the Ornamental Blade, to poison the King?
INDEED SHE DID. You’re the first person to call this out and I salute you!

My tribute to Alina Starkov from Leigh Bardugo's The Grisha Trilogy, a fantastic series of YA novels set in a Russian-inspired fantasy world and a lovely magic system. I wanted to show her power (and the amplifiers!) rising out of the Volcra but also a little fear that comes with being an accidental heroine.
Final installment just came out! Got mine signed by Leigh at the LA Book Release party. *o* You should pick ‘em up!
Done in traditional media: pen, marker, color pencil on toned paper (as usual).
leigh, if you are reading this, nilah, cassie and i would all gladly work on a grisha movie *coughcough*
OH. MY. WORD. I can’t tell you how much I adore this. Loved seeing the work in progress at the launch but oohhhhhhhh the final!!! Thank you so much for sharing it
