The Seer: Concept Art3

Figure: “Timorn Ethesian Brotherly Love” by Natsuya Uesugi So I have been doing concept art for The Seer of Grace and Fire and wanted to share the final image from Book 2, The Seer of Ice and Sky (novel and manga). This drawing I think has a certain feel of kindness and compassion between two twins who have been through a traumatic experience. The drawing features Ethesian, the Dream Seer with the long hair comforting a wounded Timorn, her twin…..

Now that we have grydscaen: dissonance edited and back to the publisher priming for publication and the grydscaen RPG starter booster pack cards are all formatted for the printer, we can start work back on “The Seer of Grace and Fire.” For the writing of the first novel in the trilogy we are in chapter 14 and the Beta Reader is in chapter 3. So this frees up my time except for my day job to work on Manga pages……

Making Manga: The Seer

Natsuya Uesugi in the works, making manga, mangaka 0 0

So with the majority of the character sketches done with only the Valkyris remaining, it is time to start thinking about creating manga pages for “The Seer of Grace and Fire.” I actually need to be proofreading the galley for grydscaen: dissonance but we are procrastinating for now. We were working on “graphic noise” and the associated manga but that became hard because it was about to turn into a love story which is not a place that I wanted…..

I am in the process of creating artwork, character sketches and manga pages for “The Seer of Grace and Fire” the new Dark Fantasy trilogy.

I promise I will do the cover reveal shortly but for now here is some Seer art work. The image on the far left is Timorn in a simple…..

Working with a Beta

Natsuya Uesugi dark fantasy, on writing 0 0

So I am working with a beta reader for the new Fantasy book I am writing called “The Seer of Grace and Fire.” I had written previously a post on editing and one on beta readers, but now having actually worked with a beta reader on the first few chapters I have some different insights into the process which I wanted to share. So when I started the grydscaen series I did not want anyone messing with my idea. For…..

On Writing: More To Do

Natsuya Uesugi dark fantasy, on writing 0 0

Writing a fantasy novel is hard work. The world is very different from a tech noir cyberpunk setting in the future of grydscaen. There are constraints to the world and some of the descriptions have to be different. You cannot say something is tall like a skyscraper unless you are writing urban fantasy set in the current world. The setting for “The Seer of Grace and Fire” includes magic and technology which will be closely related to alchemy so there…..
