Description What's this? New art? Yes it's true!

These are two characters from my next novel, Rise of the Dragon Star. Wingsisters always encourage each other, but sometimes it's frustrating to nudge someone out of their comfort zone.

For a sneaky-peek scene from my Work in Progress, check out my Patreon! www.patreon.com/authorjessowen

Along with little gryfony flash fictions and arts and more. Fair winds!

I gotta say though, I've read The Summer King Chronicles twice now and I've only had the books for a few months!  

I'm currently working on a picture of Catori, 'cuz there just doesn't seem to be enough fanart lurking around of her!  Or Ahanu. 

I may have to fix that lol

Oh gosh I would love that! 

I need to give the wolves some love, too. 

And not to be too obnoxious (?!) But I do have a Patreon and there's a couple flash fictions and things on there, if you have a might need. No pressure thought ^.^   I just realize sometimes people don't know about it

I'll check it out on payday!  I'll have to make a Patreon account I think? XD I'm actually not sure how the site works tbh haha

Aww! If you can, awesome, if not, no worries!  It's basically like a subscription, except your subscribing to my content. So you browse the levels ($1, $5, etc) and subscribe. You're charged at the first of the month, you get to see all the stuff I post on there (and everything I've posted previously!!) And if your budget changes you can unsubscribe any time.

Eep Yes!!

I've heard rumors of this new novel but wasn't sure if they were true up until now! (Also I'm sure you've noticed by username by now xD) Hm, this must be Halvden and Kenna's daughter, but I wonder who the blue one is! Hyped for the new novel!!

Ha, with *those* colors and *that* attitude, there's only one couple whose daughter she is XD
Love how well you can depict your characters' emotions in both written and visual media.  Can't wait for the finished story!

DerAnanasKing In reply to ElementalJess [2018-07-09 21:39:45 +0000 UTC]

this has to be the daughter of Halvden, I´m shure.
It would be really nice to have her play a bigger roul, I really liked Halvden. He actually became one of my favorites over time.
your drawings accompaning the story are pretty good, I would like to see more of them.

I have to ask what bird inspired the colours for the green and purple babu.

ElementalJess In reply to Fluff-Kitten [2018-07-09 01:40:53 +0000 UTC]

Ghee! Good question. No natural/our world bird to be honest. She is the daughter of two brightly colored gryfons, and their feathers carried over into her ^.^ Sometime I'll do a better..ehm...'realistic' depiction? Trying to capture how I see her patterning a little better...

Fluff-Kitten In reply to ElementalJess [2018-07-09 02:09:42 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I see.  It's still lovely and entertaining, and the colours actually go together nicely.

Will the curse/blessing that happened to them ever wear off over time?

ElementalJess In reply to Fluff-Kitten [2018-07-09 14:16:42 +0000 UTC]

It might breed out, but as long as they mate with others whose lineage was touched by it, it will carry true.

I wasn't expecting that kind of coloration in gryfons... where are they from?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ElementalJess In reply to frysco [2018-07-08 19:40:02 +0000 UTC]

In my story world, there are a portion of gryfons who received a ..hm..spoiler alert, sort of magical curse/blessing that turned their plain feathers into outlandish colors and hues. This carried on into the next generations. So you could say it's not quite normal for the world, but the gryfons have gotten used to it, and not all of them are like that

frysco In reply to ElementalJess [2018-07-08 19:42:18 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, yep, I knew about that! I just missed that it was “outlandish colours and hues” instead of the colours on folks like Sverin and Kjorn.

ElementalJess In reply to frysco [2018-07-09 01:38:43 +0000 UTC]

To be fair I imagine that green gryfess as more...jade, than the interesting sort of sea foam I ended up with here  But she is the daughter of twooo very brightly colored gryfons. The quarterbloods' coloring can get wild
