Brent & Craig Talk Endings

Back in June, Brent chatted with Craig Hanks from The Legendarium Podcast. They talked about endings, Tolkien, expectations, Harry Potter, whys and hows, GRRM, and Lightbringer, among other ideas and stories.

You can listen to the podcast through Podbean, or watch the YouTube video below. Enjoy!

For those of you who want more context, here’s the essay Brent shared during the book tour (remember those?!) for THE BURNING WHITE: On Ending Well.

Fan Art Tuesday: Art of Cai

Happy Holidays everybody!

Today I have some spectacular Night Angel fan art to share with you from Cai–a dragon dancer in Sydney, Australia. Without further ado:

I mean, what else can I say? These are so gorgeous! We featured some of Cai’s cityscapes of Cenaria a while back, but earlier this year they unveiled these character illustrations that they’d done–and I couldn’t resist sharing them here.

If you want to check out more of Cai’s work, you can find them:

Real Life Promo Roundup

Let’s start with the fun part: A Real Life Fantasy Condor.

The photo is from an article in New Scientist magazine. Stealth glider made out of special polymer self-destructs in sunlight. I’ve never considered whether luxin was a polymer before now. A 30-second Google search confirms in my mind that it couldn’t be anything but.

“Then the luxin hardened in its shape, which was as much like a condor™s wings as Gavin had been able to manage. The wings caught the air, and Karris and Gavin shot into the sky.

The first time Gavin had attempted it, he™d tried to hold one wing in each hand. He™d learned then why birds have hollow bones and weigh almost nothing. The lift had nearly torn his arms off. He™d gone home wet, bruised, and angry, with most of the muscles in his arms and chest torn. By making the condor all one piece instead, he™d taken away the need for muscle at all. The whole thing flew on the strength and flexibility of the luxin, speed, and wind.

Of course, it didn™t really fly. It glided. He™d tried to use the reeds, but it hadn™t worked so far. For the time being, the condor had a limited range.

Karris wasn™t complaining. She was wide-eyed. “Gavin! Orholam, Gavin, we™re flying!” She laughed, carefree.”
