🔥Heeeere we are! The fanart you loved the most in 2023, a glorious collection that warms my heart more than I can ever say!

No really, thank you, for being here, and for everything you do for me and my books 🥰 Here are your favourites (in random order) from the top left: (Tags are for Insta accounts)

❤️ Unstoppable Hirka, by @h.l.phoenix from Norway. This incredible picture was framed as a gift for me on his latest book launch, there have been rumours that I cried.

❤️ Crochet Hirka, by @kniha_na_hacku from Czech, can you even believe it how cute this is?!

❤️ Happy Hirka, by @izdewiaart from Poland, with such tender and personal lines.

❤️ Stunning Raven Rings tattoo, by @silberweide66 from Germany and @sarikova.tattoo, I can’t even …

❤️ 10 years of Hirka, by @lilliumboi from Norway, who’s been drawing Hirka ever since the beginning!

❤️ Grif, the devil indeed, by @carraert from Czech who truly captures the dark and mysterious mood of Vardari.

❤️ Doing his hair, also by @lilliumboi, you really love her work, and no wonder!

❤️ Naughty Hirka, by @pennyvonpumkin from gods know where, she seems like a globetrotter, and this turned everyone on!

❤️ And saved for last: Hirka and Kuro, by the unforgettable @dinanorlund from Norway, who tragically died of cancer in february, far too young to fathom. Heartbreaking. But her astonishing stories and art will continue to bring hope and comfort for generations.

Thank you! ❤️
