EVERYBODY STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND GO SHARPEN YOUR KNIVES
The stunning, standalone prequel to the New York Times bestselling The Priory of the Orange Tree.
Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory’s purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber. Now someone from her mother’s past is coming to upend her fate. When the Dreadmount erupts, bringing with it an age of terror and violence, these women must find the strength to protect humankind from a devastating threat.

Color Theory and Wes Anderson’s Style: Sad Characters in a Colorful World
With such bright and saturated fairy tale color palettes, Wes Anderson movies can touch on deep, existential issues without bumming people out. And if it weren’t for the dramatic content, the exaggerated colors would be unbearably optimistic and cheerful. In standard film theory, color in film is usually seen to “support” the tone of the subject matter, but Wes Anderson movies complicate those expectations. ∗
this is amazing.
Fan art for The Priory of the Orange Tree, which I finally read (and loved) early this year.
It’s been a while since I’ve fallen so deeply in love with a book. And when I love something I usually feel the need to make art.
Also, it’s funny how my style has changed a bit since I started drawing more digitally, I like it.
