All the published books with my maps and/or illustrations

Some of them are mine but most of them are not. It's pretty cool seeing them all stacked up like this ^_^

For these other books, one is a series that will have my map in a later book and the other is in the special edition hardback of Hunger Pangs

If the spines here make you cringe, I'm sorry XD

Thoughts on neurodivergence

When my editor finished reading SDaD, I asked him the same questions I'd asked my beta readers with an extra one about neurodiversity. Aside from the obvious mental health stuff, did any character seem neurodiverse?

Now I asked this because I'd noticed I'd subconsciously given Cerise some ADHD characteristics (fidgeting, inability to sit still, etc) and had played into them a little more but maybe not enough to say she was ADHD.

His response was "I kept wanting to scream to the heavens that Keir was autistic" which honestly surprised me because aside from the murder, he's just a regular dude.

Not long after I read a romantasy with an autistic FMC. And I knew that, but I guess I'd forgotten when reading and wasn't reminded until today. To which I went, "wait really? she's just a regular dudette." So now I really feel like I should do some introspection and research 😂

MAPS!

I've made a couple maps for my 2nd book, Child of the Forest ^_^ They are the same map but showing different information. This first one shows the 8 provinces of Manena and their capital cities.

This second one shows the traditional route for Brothers and Sisters going on Tour and Pilgrimage to all 8 Order Keeps, the route Hemi decides they should take instead, and the detours they have to make along the way or will have to make in the future.

If you notice there are two towns not on the top map because they are two towns they detour to. Riverton because Vivia gets cranky and Neoma convinces Hemi to let them spend one night not on the road and Riverton because of an emergency.

Child of the Forest only covers their trip from Cape Eastcliff, to Crater Port, Westshore and then Starkeep. Child of the Sun will have Nightwood and beyond!

Me: do you know about the blood circle?

My eagle scout husband: uh.... (unconvincingly) yes, I totally know about the blood circle

Me: Apparently it's some sort of boy scout thing?

My husband: Oh! Yes, I know about the blood circle. Context is everything when my wife writes fantasy novels.

why do people in dnd each occupy a 5ft by 5ft square, how far apart do you think people need to be? why are dnd minis afraid of touching

Lots of people think the opposite of patriarchal messaging is "actually, men are bad and women are good"

When in reality, the opposite of patriarchal messaging is "there is no immutable difference between a man and a woman and no trait belongs only to one group or the other. Goodness or badness is entirely individual and not tied to gender in any meaningful way"

I'm so bad at posting my art. This is a comm I did last month for @kiraofthewind. Eggy was a fun challenge because I had to ignore the voice in my head that kept telling me those arms are too long

I asked about the hair because I wanted to make sure ^_^ thank you so much!

Commission me!

I’m looking to expand my palaeontological toolset, so I’m trying to fundraise about 300 euros through doing commissions.

I can do larger stuff, multiple characters. I’m better at drawing women than I am men but I can give it a try! I do lineart, sketches, flats, shaded, from portrait to fullbody. Fanart, OCs, and more! I’ll even do risque but not quite NSFW art.

Check it out below for examples.

Dm me and we can work out some prices if you’re interested, or contact me on twitter @Basilisk_art. If it’s not an option for you, please signalboost me?

ART COMMISSIONS OPEN

Hey everyone! I have decided to officially open commissions for character art. 

pricing is in USD as follows: 

$10.00 per character Sketch (+ $5.00 for every additional OC in group drawings)

$20.00 per character Clean Lineart (+ $10.00 for every additional OC in group drawings)

$10.00 to add colour

$25.00 for a Coloured Portrait (singles only, must provide approximate face claim)

$25 for an illustrated full body style (+ $15.00 for every additional character) (best for character drawings!)

$50.00 for a Realistic Painting (singles only, must provide face claim)

How It Works: once you contact me, we work out the details of what you’d like for your art piece in terms of style, pose, character description, etc. I take half payment up front. I will report back frequently with “drafts”* as I go to make sure that we’re on the same page and everything looks good to you, and once we’ve landed on a final product, I take the second half of payment.

I average about four or five drafts per piece. I do charge for any major changes requested once I’ve already started (i.e. change of clothes once I’ve already started colouring or change of pose once I’ve already done the lineart), with prices in accordance to the amount of work going into the change.

DM me, email me at axritany@gmail.com, or visit my website to get started!

STYLE EXAMPLES

sketch - $10

lineart - $20

add colour - $10

portrait/bust - $25

illustrated style - $25

realistic painting - $50

I guess it's time for me to bless this dash with more random art instead of telling anyone what my book is about 😌✨️

I'm particularly taken with this one.
