This was done for #tuesdaysketch, a little weekly Twitter organized sketch group/project. @Nycteris informed me that this week’s theme was Japanese movie monsters. Really, how could I pass that up?  :)

I can’t believe I’ve forgotten to post these until now. Oops? Well, better late than never, right?

Anyway… I did these images for Mur Lafferty‘s last installment of her Heaven series, War. For those not familiar with this story, I direct your attention to a previous post where I detail the awesomeness of the previous parts of the story. War is just as fabulous as the rest and gives excellent closure to the story. Really, go check it out (psst! it’s free!).

All caught up? Good.

The first image is Morrigan, a death/moon goddess. The second image is Barris, the sun god. The last image is of the floating city of Meridian.

Prints of these images are available for purchase and a portion of the proceeds go to Mur for her wonderful imagery. You know, they would make fine holiday gifts. :)

I had nearly forgotten about this photo I took back in February. That’s Mount Rainier in the background with Safeco Field in the middle and the port of Seattle in the foreground.

Andy and I went up to Seattle to meet up with some east coast friends at the Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Film Festival. All in all it was an excellent event. I highly recommend attending for anyone in the area.
