An Extraordinarily Beautiful Picture of Tian and Senior Redmane
🕑 Added 2025-05-26 02:39:24 +0000 UTCThis was made by Wistways, who has kindly given me permission to share it. I was floored when I saw it. One of those "I'm really glad I'm an author" moments. I'm not going to post it on RR for a while as it is technically a spoiler, but... damn. Just look at that!

I want to see this artists interpretation of the moment Tian on Redmayne's back with his arms spread, became one with the sky and the Dao. For me, such a transcendent moment deserves more to be captured in more than one medium. That was such a meaningful moment for me as a reader. Being able to escape a spiral of the grief and despair of endless compromise, moral relativism, and the horrifying choices of true compassion when you have incredible power.

This illustration really enriched my reading experience. Since Tian is currently in a war and there is so much violence, I imagined Senior Redmane with a brutal metallic beak, feathers like knifes, and a soul chilling gaze. Then I took a look at this drawing of a beautiful crane with wonderfully kind eyes and I thought: "I was wrong. This is how they should look like."

This looks great. Love the art style.
