Pure sex appeal by StarTyrian

A commission: Kieran during his fight with Thelyan.

"Well." Kieran snorted, wiped clotted blood on his knuckles. His pattern spiked out all over in a forest of thorns. He heard his voice from a distance, slow and drawling. "That was kinda the wrong thing to say."

He really ought to have a lot more blood on him, but it didn't look good. Specifically, at this point he had a real gusher of a bloody nose, but when I tested it out on the sketch it looked pretty lame, so I left the amount of blood pretty much cosmetic.

He's great, sexy, gorgeous, hot, dangerous and full of sex-appeal, both in your awesome novel and in this picture! Thank you for both!

I just spent my entire Sunday reading God Eaters, so finding brilliant art to go with such wonderful descriptions is awesome. Thanks so much for writing something so beautiful, I have to say, it's one of the best fantasy novels I've ever read (and I'm coming off of a Terry Pratchett binge!), and easily the most touching love story I've had the pleasure of witnessing. It's also great that the art reflects the writing really, really well! Pure Sex Appeal indeed.

My friend and I have a bona-fide obsession with you and your work. Godeaters in particular. We use this quote on a daily basis. No exaggeration.

Typical day; she'll turn to me and say, 'How?' and I'll say, '

ure sex appeal.' And then we will laugh. And people will stare at us. And it is good.

Then I will add one of my particular favorites: 'They're dead, sir. They drank the coffee.'

I want that on a coffee mug. Very badly. And I don't even bloody drink coffee! ...yet.

'Too bad your personality's not water-soluble.'
'Now look, you--' *snrk* "Okay, that was funny.'
I think that's her favorite.

I could just go on and on and ooooooon....

I generally dont comment because I know one comment is usually lost in the flow of things when an artist is this popular, but I think you need to know that this book literally saved me, as well as saving my significant other an iordinate amount of pain.

Thank you.
