Here are thirteen visual inspirations for the serialized fiction I'm posting every Saturday for the Weekend Writer's Retreat.
My dark fantasy story follows a young boy named Scorpius, brought up with other children of the nobility at a foster nursery - but never claimed by his family. Eventually he's handed over to a falconer in need of an apprentice to help him when the lords come to hunt. But Scorpius soon discovers that his new world is filled with danger, a world where the brutality of the nobles surpasses even that of the dragons.

Alice Audrey says Too cool. You really got me with the cabinet, knowing how it gets used in the serial.
Susan Helene Gottfried says The dragon is gorgeous! Nice picture. I dig the falconer's hut, too. It really evoked the fiction for me.

Great pics, Julia, especially the dragon. The hut makes me think of Yorkshire, and the doublet is gorgeous!

It really does help to have those images to hand when crafting fantasy, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read more about Scorpius. His world sounds intriguing. You're posting this story on Saturdays? I'll have to come back.
