The symbols for my 6 gods. Mother Omera is a mechanical glass angel with four wings and four arms crowning herself. She wears elaborate jewelry and is filled with blue mana. Humble Laurel is represented with a tarnished bronze olive branch. Gladiolus is represented with an impractical boar spear with fancy designs on the spear head. Zinnia and Alder are twins mixed together. Zinnia is a pink, orange and turquoise moth with eyes on her wings. Overlapping her bottom right wing is a ceramic, less artful mask of a red eyed man with a cyan beard. One of Alder's eyes is on Zinnia's wing. Astrid is a magenta orchid glittering with pollen from the stamens. You can roughly see a woman in the flower.

I finally got around to drawing the symbols for all my gods.

Alt text tells you who is who. This was a fun little worldbuilding project.

Sorry I haven't been doing prompts. Real life and trying to get writing done had monopolized ancillary fun.

Astrid, Saint of Passion from my books. How the hell do I describe this image? Let's begin. Astrid is a magenta goddess with long white hair, bright green eyes, big titties, six arms (two are hidden, as they commonly are in the books), orchid and insect theming, and two extra eyes on her skirt with scale like patterns, and she's barefoot with gold anklets. Her designs are yellow and cyan to contrast her mostly pink body. Her underskirt is a cyan light. She is surrounded by fireflies. Suggestive, her nipples are out and an orchid on her front clearly looks like a vagina.

From my Sigils books. Can anyone guess what Astrid of Passion is goddess of?

Wrong answers will get you bonus points if it's funny.

Disclaimer: Points don't actually get you anything but a giggle from me.

I shared a partial image earlier of Thalia Clayton, but here's the full thing. I keep drawing her from book 1, but book 2 she started getting visible tattoos.

A blue beetle on a black background atop a skull. Blue glitter is EVERYWHERE.

A collage showcasing Lapis the Omeran sky horn beetle. The left picture is the cover to Sigils of Malice, without text. It's of a magical, horned blue beetle with red eyes sprinkling glittering dust on magical technology lit by a blue gem. Top right is a watercolor on black paper of the blonde necromancer, Calliope Clayton, in a red and pink dress. She is standing in the Abyss, casting magic with her blue sky horn beetle, Lapis. Bottom right is a watercolor painting of Lapis, the Sky Horned Beetle. She's got a blue, iridescent body, red eyes, long tongue, and six wings. Atop her horn is a swooshy crest.

I cannot keep art of sky horn beetles consistent. Use your imagination when you read about the critters.

The picture with the crystal in the background was drawn by my sister, @nuclearnarwhal.bsky.social.

The full, inky, black and white map for the Sigils books by Rebecca E. Reyes. It shows dozens of cities and landmarks in the Omeran Empire's five territories: Northern Omera, Southern Omera, Province of Alderia, the Kingdom of Delamar, and the Terralia Islands. Navikula has an unnatural fog of war. Omerans don't know what's over there anymore. Only what's just beyond the wall and on the southern shore. Way south is the Singing Woods, hiding Syneth, with lakes on the canopies where the southern border ends. Otherwise, the west is blocked off by mountains and the ocean seems endless, hence why it's called the Endless Ink. Beasts drawn on the map are a kraken in the water, a dragon among the basalt and volcanoes, a harpy automaton at the Navikulan Border Wall, unicorns in the Singing Woods, a calygreyhound in the Valley of the beasts, and a gloom spider in Navikula's void.

Big map.

I may still do some tweaking.

Half off Sigils of Malice ad. It says: Signed copies are HALF OFF in my store only! Sigils of Malice is then written in a fancy font. Beside it is a 3d render of the book, which has a magical blue beetle walking on machinery. The rest of the text says: Because [the book doesn't] have a map... That's right! This book is HALF the price of Amazon and other retailors with my physical books because I worked damned hard on a map. The great news is that you can download the map for free from my Kofi Gallery. Comes with... - Thank You Note - Free Bookmark - My Eternal Love - Magical bug facts provided by a neighborly cactus

I am ordering copies with the map to sell as soon as I can, but for now I gotta get rid of these pretty, mapless books on my shelf!

A section of the Omeran Empire's map. At the center is the Imperial Capital of Grace. It shows the four paladin orders fortresses: Pegasus, Griffin, Kraken, and Dragon. Surrounding lands are also visible. It's very artsy and was drawn by the author, me. Rebecca E. Reyes.

Sigils of Malice only takes place in the Imperial Capital of Grace. I did not think it needed the traditional map, since the story stands well without it.

What do you guys think of this edited version of my giant, overall map to add to Malice? Add it to the book?

Two grayscale unicorns, not yet shaded, to be added to my map. They have shaggy hair for manes and around their hooves, and their horns are jagged and sharp. Art by Rebecca E. Reyes

The pine forest was getting tedious, so I started on some unicorns to adorn the Singing Woods.

Horses are hard to draw.

The coastline of my map in progress showing the Terralia islands and the eastern coast of the empire, but it's mostly there to show the size of the kraken in the middle of the water.

A kraken peeking two octopi arms and one eye out of the water. A ship sailing beside it is roughly the size of the eye.

This kraken is the second of many creatures that will be painted around the map. Obviously I need a dragon and a unicorn somewhere.

The sad part is that a 6x9 book isn't large enough to show off the map when I finish it, but I'll work something out.

Thalia Clayton in a glittering tiger fur dress for the circus. She's a muscular woman with rusty brown hair. No makeup in this version of the picture. Behind her is a calygreyhound, a chimera made of a lynx's face and tail, a stag's body, antlers and back legs, and the wings and claws of a mythical eagle called a roc. I don't describe the jeweled toned wings in the books, but I had fun coloring them. Art by Rebecca E. Reyes

Do any of your characters have animal companions?

Does character art sell books? Drawn by the author, here are two amazing people from Sigils of Malice.

It'd be a shame if a showgirl destroyed the imperial capital's gilded façade because her 'cat' went missing.

A calygreyhound from the Sigils books by Rebecca E. Reyes: He has a lynx's face and tail, a stag's body, antlers and back legs, and the wings and claws of a mythical eagle called a roc. I don't describe the jeweled toned wings in the books, but I had fun coloring them.

I finished coloring him!

No, I don't describe all these colors on Frendo the calygreyhound in the books. No, I don't know what bird feet look like. But what I do know is...

Water can be boiled and frozen at the same time.

Oh, and that I love how Frendo looks.

#Art #FantastArt #SigilsOfMalice

An incomplete picture of Frendo the calygreyhound from the book Sigils of Malice. Only his wings are colored so far. They're mostly brown, yellow and orange, but they now have a turquois jeweled tone because WEE! Colors are fun!

I said I'd hate these wings, but I've greatly enjoyed coloring them.

I tend not to use fancy layers (mostly because I don't understand them😅), but I just learned I can give Frendo's feathers a jeweled tone with Divide!

I'm learning. Bear with me.

A picture of an enchanted, older box camera, with a conjuration crystal cluster coming out of the top and a long strap by Rebecca Reyes Color pencil on black paper

A six sided brass and enamel spirit lantern with a cyan flame inside.

Thalia has many tools she uses through the books.

She goes through two enchanted cameras, has a whip from her show that's been enchanted, and the third book she gets a spirit lantern from a forest god.

#SigilsOfMalice

A snippet of an inky, black and white fantasy map with a chimera painted atop the Valley of Beasts. The beast is a calygreyhound, a mix of a wild cat, hawk, and stag.

Before coloring, I figured I'd add the inky outline of the calygreyhound to my map #WIP for my Sigils books. I just inked him more.

I am working full time on Sigils of Redemption, since The Sarcophagus of Lamia Book 2 is essentially done.

Mattias DeLussier! My favorite villain. He is a necromancer performance artists who will turn you into a work of theatrical art, body and soul.

He's unrepentantly evil, well dressed, and old AF but doesn't look it.

He summons a ghost orchestra for fights.

WIP digital picture of Thalia Clayton's face from the books Sigils of Malice and Sigils of Blight. She had brown hair and hazel eyes with a bright orange ribbon holding her hair back and a floral earring.

WIP digital picture of Thalia Clayton's face, wearing bold makeup, from the books Sigils of Malice and Sigils of Blight. She had brown hair and hazel eyes with a bright orange ribbon holding her hair back and a floral earring.

Makeup is weird in Sigils because culturally only "painted ladies" or actors wear a lot of it.

Thalia is "tomish", meaning in the books she cross-dresses and does not often wear make-up. However, while working for her family's circus, she does get dolled up for her act.

Thalia is a mere showgirl, incapable of using magic. Through some reluctant partnerships, this found family story is a dangerous journey into a gilded underbelly of corruption and abuse.

Thalia Clayton's backside in a skimpy tiger fur dress showing her muscles and her divine butt. From the book Sigils of Malice.

I'm nowhere near done, but I'm attempting character art of Thalia. This is her least favorite outfit--the infamous tiger fur dress from her beast taming act.

It's a circus costume, so more embellishments to come.
