#finn starseer

[mossy-rainfrog]

[ID: A digital drawing of Finn Starseer from Incarceron. He is a teenager with wavy dark hair, dark eyes, light brown skin, and an oval shaped face. He has the tattoo of an eagle on his left wrist. He is drawn three times. The first with a neutral, soft expression, looking right at the viewer with his hands folded over the hilt of his sword. He wears a roughed up old-fashioned poets shirt under a magenta vest with a brown collar. Above him is written his name, and doodled a crown. Next he snarls and swings a simple rapier with both hands. Finally, he wears a royal suit and a gilded crown. He looks off to the side with a focused expression, and a european golden eagle flies behind his head for effect. The background is rust-red, with blue halos around his face. End ID.]

Underground, the stars are legend.

I cannot overstate how surreal it is to have finished and colored Incarceron fanart in the year of our lord 2024. I have loved this book for over a decade now and only just now actually drawn something for it. I'm currently working on adapting the main characters of this duology into the tarot Major Arcana, and having a blast doing so!! but, in preparation for that, I drew a lot of Finn.

For those who haven't read the duology, Incarceron is a science fiction novel about a war-torn world where half of our cast are trapped within a massive, sentient prison by the name of Incarceron, from which only one man has ever Escaped. The idea of the Outside is a legend, a religion, a fantasy, until Finn, a memory-less cell-born, finds a Key that connects him to a girl Outside, who becomes devoted to helping him Escape, in the hopes that he will free her from the prison that the Outside has turned itself into. Finn must face allies and enemies, gods and queens, the Prison itself, and above it all: his own fractured identity.

It's a magnificent duology with a third book supposedly on the way, and genuinely it has lived in my head rent free for Years. It's steampunk, it's high royalty, it's gripping and dark and decidedly aromantic and it plays on SO many fascinating questions of reality, and I recommend it a thousand times over.
