I just finished reading Shadow and Bone and I am so excited you have a blog! I've been drawing some fan art and I was struggling to find good costume references... I think I was on the right track but it helps to see exactly what inspired you! I'm curious,

Fanart fanart fanart! *does the fanart dance* *resorts to elaborate gestures and clapping*

Ravka was inspired by Tsarist Russia of the early 1800s. I have loads of inspiration on my pinterest boards.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
