[Latest Update 7-21-2026] New additions to the archive! Part 4 of the Secret Sketchbook journey with the Cassiel’s Servant painting under the Patreon-Only Posts category.
I wanted to give my Free Members a peek at all the art I’ve been creating inspired by “Cassiel’s Servant” from Jacqueline Carey, the story of a warrior monk’s unknowing rise to meet his divine destiny in the woman he would eventually break his oaths for.
(Above: My fan version of the cover of “Kushiel’s Dart”, the book that started the Kushiel’s Legacy series which “Cassiel’s Servant” is a part of.)
All the art I’ve shared publicly for “Cassiel’s Servant” has been attached to the top of this post for all to enjoy. You can also read more about this project as it developed in these public posts:

Watch the experimental video I made combining art and narration about Elua here, since Patreon doesn’t support video embedding within the body of posts yet. (EDIT. They now support embedding yay!)
I plan to keep sharing art for free with optional paid perks this way so you can all get the best of both worlds!
