Art for Dragaera

[krait]

Okay, so sholio has been having such fun rereading the Dragaera series novels! In a post of hers I mentioned some great art by a friend of the author's and that I'd try to dig it up, because her Orca is my headcanon and I find the version in the books disappointing.

The Lyorn Records contain only broken links, but confirmed the artist I was looking for is Katherine Grantham, and I was able to track it down in my own hard drive. :D




(The *happiest* Tiassa; I love him!)






(The best orca - "Orca circles, hard and lean" suits this much better than the blubbery Earth mammal.)



By the by, Katherine Grantham, nee Marschall, is who the character of Kathana e'Marish'Chala was based on. :D

Yeah, I thought the artist did a great job subtly highlighting the "sci-fi" background of the Dragaera series; these look like alien life forms that a human colonist would plausibly name or describe in Earth terms, rather than like actual Terran animals.

I love the explanations for some of the characters who appear in minor roles! There are several more in my reply to sholio, above. :D

Ah, cool! Thanks for sharing those details. :D
