Adult SFF Books With Aromantic Main/Major Characters

Wanted to highlight lesser known books; including not-so-obscure books that aren't known for their aromantic rep.

Relics of Ruin came out today! Here’s some of my inks for a promo illustration I was commissioned to make by the awesome author, Erin M Evans!

Relics of Ruin is the sequel to Empire of Exiles, and it’s a fantasy mystery series set in a world of intrigue and scheming factions. This world is really interesting and the mystery is an absolute page turner! Erin is also the writer of the Brimstone Angels Saga, which are some of the best D&D novels ever written!

Check out Empire of Exiles and Relics of Ruin, they can be found at any bookstore thru Orbit Books, as well as in ebooks and audiobook!

I hope you’ll check them out because I have more art for this series coming soon, so follow along with me!

Relics of Ruin Review - Secrets Shared and Sharpened

Relics of Ruin by Erin M. Evans, the second book in Books of the Usurper series does what every second book in a series should do: expands the world, digs deeper into the characters, introduces new information, and builds on what was set up in the first book while raising the stakes with new conflicts.

I‘m months late posting it, but here is my amazing planet Conventia plush made by @appledew ✨

I first had the urge to possess this in 2023 and reached out to 4 plushie makers, but the project got turned down by everyone. AppleDew really got my vision. It is so true to the original I still can't believe it <3

Also check out the artist‘s original post about it!

Yinii is a character from @erinmevans’ Books of the Usurper series, and is one of my favorites! I’ve drawn her a bunch but she always changes shape in my mind, but she is such a cool character. If you dig on fantasy and mystery books, check out Empire of Exiles and the brand new Relics of Ruin and see why Yinii is the best!

N's Void Cube - Animated Model

For too long, The Pokemon Company has been portraying N's iconic Void Cube with simple gold sides, erasing the beautiful quadrangular symmetry of the gold lines it was designed with. Today, I am stepping up to give N Harmonia's most prized possession the proper representation it deserves.

Here's the design I started with in Blender. I started by tracing the cube in N's official BW art, but making a new one made things so much easier.

If you don't count the center, N's Void Cube is only made of two distinct blocks, just rotated in different directions. The designs on these blocks are pretty cool, and there's actually some symbolism to them!

The first block, the ring/sun, fittingly resembles the classical symbol for the sun ☉ which is also the alchemical symbol for gold. A lot of classical Sun and gold symbols often correspond with symbols for "God", considering our history of solar deities.

This symbol is also known as the circumpunct. It also resembles evil eye protection talismans like the nazar. (I figured this was relevant because of the scary eyes on Ghetsis' cloak!)

The second block, the circle symbol with the floret pointing toward the corner definitely resembles another alchemical symbol for sun, gold, and "God":

So there's definitely a theme here! Documents from the Teraleak suggest that N is the descendant of the ancient king buried in the Abyssal Ruins. Motifs like the sun, gold, and "God" all correlate with kings and the idea of divine right.

In my post "The Original Dragon of Unova and Wuxing" I theorized that the Original Dragon of Unova is based on the Yellow Dragon of the Center, who would be a golden dragon that glows like the sun. And the machine translation for the Abyssal Ruins glyphs depicts a creature with a very Reshiram/Zekrom type body that is "known as God". This glyph is supposed to refer to the ancient king.

Long story short: I think N has the ancient king's Void Cube.
