Ah, friends.
Get you a reader who is an artist, a genius, a darling, who is so full of love and jeweled colors and divine radiance, that she makes you, over the course of a year, a cathedral window of your own gods.
Phoebe Leung Ashcroft, @phoe.ash on Instagram, is a visual artist bookstagrammer, who reviews ARCs by drawing illustrations for them, and creating a little write-up in the caption.
For my books, she has drawn Loreila Winter-Touched from Dark Breakers, Alizar Eleven-Eyes from The Twice-Drowned Saint, and Lanie from Saint Death’s Daughter.
But, wait. Phoebe, the aforementioned artist/genius/darling, has done EVEN MORE.
In addition to her three versions of Saint Death…
…she has made ALL THE REST OF THE GODS of Liriat and Quadiíb!!!
Phoebe’s third and latest depiction of Saint Death, the Doe-Her-Mother, is taken directly from the text of Saint Death’s Herald, of which she has had some special peeks.
I, um, made a LORE FOLDER for Phoebe and my buddy Anthony, who is a DM and sometimes plays around in my world.
Because when people draw you pictures and adapt your stories to D&D games, you want to make that as EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR THEM, because they are the AWESOMEST PEOPLE.
A little while back, I made a little video about the Twelve Gods and some of their attributes, which I included in that lore folder, in case you were interested. You can listen as I speak in one window, and admire Phoebe’s craftswomanship in the other!
Thank you forever, Phoebe. Now when I write, I am also always thinking of you.
I have written before about fan art, when I was on Substack for a hot second last year. I wonder if I should just copy/paste the material I made there last year to this blog, so that it shan’t be lost forever if I give up the platform entirely.
But for now, here’s a link to that blog about fan art, for you will see how bright this world is with wonders, and how awed I am to have provided some of the source material for these visions artists have.

Such a gorgeous color sense Phoebe has!
