"Behind every icon is a story to be told"

I am really excited to show you these illustrated icons for my upcoming novel. This will be a blog series where I reveal the character icons one by one. They are simple but impactful and are easy on the eyes. This is made by the talented illustrating artist Artxenth. The art she makes are by using Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator to make it come to life. The process has been fruitful and collaborative.

One of the chapter icons that is shown up above represents the party known as Lotuchima. The Lotus flower resembles hope & strong bonds . It also represents the village Frane which is a small but it endures the different challenges. From furred beasts on the battlefield to navigating the politics.

More information about the history and such in later blog posts. Meanwhile I will continue to micro blog and other articles. I have also a book to do so that will be my main focus.

From my point of view the lotus flower inspired me because it resembles unity in the asian culture. In this case Frane and Lotuchima are always open to help each other and give strength & purpose.

The icons will also be available on Welcome to Eastrovia pdf which can be required by getting the monthly newsletter. The character icons can also have other uses in the future. Like pins, merchandise, printable art etc.
