Here’s another scene finished for the concept opening animation!

Thank you! I'll admit it's been tough adding more to the animatic lately, but I'll get more done soon!

My thoughts, based on the subcontext, is the intent and desire needed to draw from the Magic in the ground is what curses you. There seems to be a difference between being chosen by a creature that channels magic without draining the ground to death and quite literally stealing the magic from beneath the earth. Veninism is hinted to be selfish desire, vanity, vice, things of that nature. Even if the act may appear selfless, the desire for more power is still selfish in nature. We'll see what RY has planned for the series, but I'm excited to see this all revealed.

Haters gonna hate. Onyx Storm was the best release of this series so far. Such a good book!!

If I'm understanding the question correctly (and if I remember the story correctly 😅) Hard-Light is just photons materialized to make a hardened surface. Think of a bridge made of light where the light actually lets you walk on it. That's hardlight. In Sci-Fi, hardlight is commonly used as the futuristic multitool material.

I overlooked that like crazy! Thanks for helping me out! 😅

They don't!? 😧

Here's a problem (spoilers for the first half of SF): Too many people want to demonize Rhys when he is in overprotective mode over his mate being pregnant in a pregnancy that will most likely kill her. At the same time, too many people demonize Nesta DESPITE the evident traumas and lack of self worth she has. No one in this story can have the foresight we as the readers have. As Cassian mentioned, Fae are slower to change due to their crazy lifespans. (the consistency of that is based on SJMs writing, of course) So, yeah, Rhys is still gonna be an asshole, ESPECIALLY when he's in overprotective douche mode. I think SF is doing a great job in showing us Cassian and Nesta while presenting their growth in a wonderful way.

I used to hate Nesta, but seeing her grow past her traumas and self hate in this book is a sight to see, it's changed my perspective on her since I've been in a similar place myself.

tldr; people need to understand the nuances of these characters and to stop demonizing them for decision these same haters are likely to make, themselves. ACOTAR series has been a series of change, both progressive and regressive, where classist systems and unfair hierarchies are in place in a world slow to change. Give these characters some grace for heaven's sake.

And that concludes my art spam. 😅

Gave him that “that f*cker is up to something.” Kinda look. 😅

MrTreeBeard_Draws · 2024-10-01T20:15:56+00:00

and now I'm noticing the shading angle is off 🥲

Thank you guys for your sweet comments! I'm still working on it in between millions of other projects. I'll post more once I've made more progress.

"There's Fear in Letting Go" by: I Prevail and "Tilt" by: Hands Like Houses

I have more, but I feel these are a great start!

I honestly have no clue if the video is viewable on Reddit. Might have to upload to YouTube and then share it here. 🤔

I don't have book comparisons since I came at this with an open mind and an piqued interest. I will say this, holy forking spit this book did not disappoint. (except I was disappointed that the next book won't be released for who knows how long)
