Description
A violent calamity of color spilled over the sky as the sun dipped beneath the horizon....
"Usul gives moisture to the dead!"

A rare thing from me: Fanart!
I'm currently reading Frank Herbert's "Dune," and my gosh... I love it so much. This illustration was inspired by a very poignant chapter in the novel.
forgive my sad little attempt at the baliset... It's probably a lot more intricate, but I don't think it's actually a very large instrument? Probably not that similar to a guitar, but whatevs... at least there's nine strings! XD
I also know there are two moons on Arrakis, but this scene takes place when the first moon rises

Ohhhh!
Personally, I think the first book is most interesting one; are you planning on reading the series, btw?

But of course, the first book establishes the whole intriguing world of Dune and it's fascinating characters -- I agree it's most interesting (so far).

Lovely work here! It is interesting to see fanart from you! I haven't heard of the Dune work, but it may be worth checking out from my side!

Thank you so much! It's a pretty incredible work of science fiction, in my opinion (and that's not generally a genre I'm attracted to).
