Inspired by this

favorite female character of the year

if you hate her i hate you

[the-overanalyst]

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Artwork done for Subterranean Press's limited edition of The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang. I really enjoyed working on this one, too. I love the ocean and bodies of water and stuff like that :)

Sketches and other bonus content are available on my Patreon.

‘I have become something wonderful, she thought.

I have become something terrible.

Was she now a goddess or a monster?

Perhaps neither. Perhaps both’

The moon is different here. He meant he wanted to go home.

Low key don’t like this but I needed to get this idea out of my head :,)

[queenofnabooty]

this is my understanding of the trilogy so far

[kalbaishakhi]

Can we talk about how Kitay is confirmed to be aroace and was the only person not affected by the Vipress' charm, while Rin was down bad, helplessly enamored by her whenever she looked at her??

Rin I know what you are. 🏳️‍🌈
