Art for Loyalty Fallen - Book 1

I've been writing Loyalty Fallen, the story of a princess and talentless mage who is accused of her husband's murder on her wedding night, for over a year. During that time, I've also had the opportunity to create some art for the characters and story. Here are all the artworks I created for book one: The Sapphire Prince, which you can read freely online.

Feel free to ask any questions about my process or characters! Also, in case you're wondering why the style is so inconsistent, it's because during the time I was working on these I was trying out a lot of different styles digitally. As I'm working on the art for book two, my style has become a lot more predictable and consistent, and I feel like I've also improved a lot. Still, I have a soft spot in my heart for a lot of these pictures and the effort they represent. Hope you enjoyed!

These are great! They really make you curious about the story.
I especially love the atmosphere from the last one. It's very warm and free, and there are a bunch of spots I can look at for a while!

Thank you! If you're interested, you can read the first book for free start to finish already at loyaltyfallen.com.
That one is one of my favorites as well!

VERDANT RAGE!!! WOW!!! VERDANT RAGE LOOKS AMAZING!!!
Thank you so much! The funny thing about that particular picture is it is actually portraying a pretty poor use of magic. In the story, verdant magic is much more subtle and controlled normally. It's about controlling plants, not just blasting magic at people. But any of the types of magic in the book can be used basically to explode outward with percussive force; it just is not the most efficient use of the gem catalysts and causes them to run out quickly and have larger side effects for the user. In this case, she's angry enough not to care!
