Hundred Thousand Kingdoms Yeine by Jemisin

97 Comments

My First Daily Deviation

I love reading books. “The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms” was an interesting read and loved the concept of man enslaving his gods to be used as the ultimate weapons. The pitch “Gods and mortals, power and love, death and revenge. She will inherit them all. “ had me from the get go. The main character is Yeine Darr, a barbarian girl is summoned to the city where she is named as heir to the throne after her mother’s mysterious death. Hold up, it’s not as easy as that. There are other heirs too. Her 2 cousins are not giving up on their lease of the throne that easily. And so the story begins.

What you see before you is my depiction of Yeine Darr with Sky City in the background. Yeine describes herself as short, flat and brown as the forest. She wears her traditional garment of her people, the Darre, from the north.

It is a fascinating read that I recommend and visit her website here [link]

Fantasy Book Critic writes:
"Every year, it seems like at least two or three novels are hyped as the fantasy debut of the year. Some of these books actually manage to live up to the hype like Scott Lynch’s “Red Seas Under Red Skies”, Patrick Rothfuss’ “The Name of the Wind” or this year’s “Spellwright” by Blake Charlton. Most of them do not. And some books, like N.K. Jemisin’s “The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms”, aren’t receiving enough hype...

The best thing about N.K. Jemisin’s “The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms” is the narrative voice of the novel’s main character, Yeine. Accessible, charming, and elegant, Yeine’s first-person narrative grabbed me from the very first page and kept me hooked throughout the novel with her warm personality, vivid and colorful descriptions, thoughtful insights, and fairy tale-like storytelling"

December 23, 2011 Update

My bf wakes me up and says he has something to tell me. It's still dark and it's 5:00 AM. He has got to be out of his frackin' mind. I'm going to kill him. What he says is so shocking. He tells me I got a Daily Deviation. It took a few seconds to register on my conscience mind that wants to kill him before I smile saying "Are you serious?". I can't believe it. Thank you all for making my work feel worthy. This is a wonderful Christmas present.

JNetRocks Moi on Lady Blackhawk and Dejah Thoris

Jan 25, 2012, 10:44:14 PM by *DubuGomdori
Journals / Personal

JNetRocks is a DA Artist I have admired for some time. She has consistently turn out wonderful work in a short period.  Much quicker than me "fo' sho'".  When she had offered to color a piece, I held my breath.  I had to force myself to breathe in and start living again realizing this wasn't a dream.  The thing is we could not come to a conclusion to what it should be.  A few weeks ago, after literally a year,  I sent her some samples of works I would be postingt soon.  She ended up asking to do 2 pieces out of the 3 samples sent.  Okay, now I'm already blown away and I haven't seen them all.

Today, I posted a Steampunk version of DC's Lady Blackhawk from the Birds of Prey series.  This is a piece JNetRocks decided to color first. I recieved the sample completed work last week a few days after I sent a hi-res tif file.  I must say it absolutely got me naturally stoned with the care and thought that went into it resulting in a brilliant piece that I want to print and hang on my wall.

Update:
When I saw Lady Blackhawk I felt for sure that would be the better of the two.  Now that I'm seeing her jaw dropping treatment of Dejah Thoris I am utterly amazed.  Below are the thumbnails but it is best to get over there and take a good look at her work.

Whether you have the time or not, please check out JNetRocks gallery.  She has many wonderful works there and a tutorial that actually got her a Daily Deviation.  Definitely worth checking out.  Plus, she's a very friendly person willing to help answer your questions.

Dreams are just truths that never happen. Just because they never happen doesn't make them untrue.

*DubuGomdori Feb 24, 2012

Looking at your gallery, I love the retro look and feel with so many details, that's what I'm into and I just don't know where to start. So, I think I will be spending days into months looking at everything. Totally mind boggling and so beautiful.
