Hundred Thousand Kingdoms Yeine by Jemisin

101 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.

Introducing Motion Books to deviantARTApr 2, 2013by +spyed
Visit #Madefire on deviantART

Together with Madefire, we are releasing the Madefire Web Reader on deviantART in a new category on our front-page called "Motion Books.” You will immediately find a dozen Madefire Motion Books there, with more books released each Wednesday.

This is a whole new ball game on an entirely new field bringing us closer to full digital media. I'm sure there will be problems in the beginning. So its good DA is not rolling this out to the entire public yet but a little at a time. Liam Sharp, professional artist, is backing this and has been using the MADEFIRE tool over a year for his Captain Stone comic book. Liam loves it and believes it will be amazing. I think this is a fantastic opportunity opening a new door to creativity and closer to a, if not true, direct market.

What if all the professional artist were to go this route?

What would happen to the major publishers?

Will there be any need for paper publication?

Will there be a frenzy among DA members to create their own creative studios?
(I may consider a colorist and writer colab haha)

Your thoughts and comments please.

I wonder what stories I should work on now?

Coloring and Commissions

Yes I do commissions. Rates are based on what you want, how much detail, do you want just the digital 300dpi file, the original, commercial use or not, etc. These are all done on 11x17 which allows me to the detailing you see a lot of in my work making it costly the more detail you request. The only time I do something not 11x17 is if it is requested to purchase the original. If you are looking to get a commission piece, send me a note with a brief description of what you want, what things you want included, and as much references as possible. The more the better. I will only fulfill requests of good taste.

All my work is available for coloring. Just let me know what you'd like to color, what medium you will be using and when you expect to complete it. Once you're done, let me know so I may put links to your deviation and you could do the same.
