The two main characters of The Burning Kingdoms trilogy (by Tasha Suri), Priya and Malini- kissing in the sangam, a cosmic river

“This isn’t real.”
“All of our dreams are real. They wouldn’t hurt so much if they weren’t.”

-from The Lotus Empire (Book 3 of The Burning Kingdoms by Tasha Suri)

Lol when will Priya+Malini leave my head, I wonder 😝

Character concept sketches of Priya and Malini for The Burning Kingdoms by Tasha Suri. Before trying to work on illustrations, I needed a ton of research and a design pass on the characters first!

Painting of a scene from The Oleander Sword (Book 2 of the Burning Kingdoms) by Tasha Suri. It depicts Malini and Priya tenderly holding each other as Priya’s body is bursting with leaves, thorns and flowers, from wild magic.

An exerpt from The Oleander Sword by Tasha Suri from which I based the painting in the first image. Text— [ “Is that what love is, Malini? Is that how awful love is? Because if it is, then I love you, the way that roots love the deep and leaves love the light. And no matter how much I try to be good, to do right- I’m all flowers in your arms, for your war, for you-“ ]

Tasha Suri’s The Burning Kingdoms has a grip on me these days 😵‍💫 I’m still reeling from the second book (The Oleander Sword). It’s so beautiful and heartrending, I just want to draw and paint scenes 😭

Priya continuously misunderstanding how to take care of babies and Bhumika pointedly ignoring it is funny each time lol. #TheJasmineThrone #TheBurningKingdoms

The Burning Kingdom trilogy books on the Apple Books shelf, marked as read

Not gonna lie, some ugly tears were squeezed there at the end. My new favorite series since the original #Mistborn trilogy. Extremely well-written, and set in a fresh and imaginative setting heavily inspired by Indian folklore.

#TheOleanderSword #TheBurningKingdoms What the hell was that ending? 😭 Damn me for not picking up the third book when I had the chance. If I'd known it would end LIKE THIS

Bhumika Forgetting (Burning Kingdoms triptych 1/3) #theburningkingdoms #fanart #procreate

Im thinking about them again, and now I want to redo this. I feel like I've learned a lot in the last year.
