FlamSinger's color artwork of Emin, the Seraph King from the novel Opinicus by K. Vale Nagle. Emin is mostly white on the underside and grey on the top side with black around the shoulders of the wings inspired by a white-tailed kite. His beak is black, as are his talons, and his digits/legs are yellow. He looks like a gryphon whose back legs are feathered like a microraptor, whose forelegs also work wyvern-like like hands, with another pair of wings on his back. His form is long and noodle-like, with a long tail ending with a feathered tuft. He has a long neck, and his facial expression is arrogant and derisive, the only seraph in a land of gryphons... at least for a few hours.

The fan art page is now live! Since Flam Singer was the last person to share fan art, I thought I’d start with all of Flam’s works and go from there. My plan is that when I need a break from writing, I’ll pick an artist and get all of their pieces added. I’ve had a lot of fans ask where the best place to see all of the fan art is, and hopefully, by the end of the year, the answer will be here.

I’ve shared this before, but because I started out in mystery, horror, and literary fiction, I never expected anything I write to inspire fan art. My love of gryphons appears to be infectious, however, and there are well over 100 pieces of fan art and a dozen fanfics. I’ve had the most touching fan letters, and I’ve signed hundreds of books at this point. (Not too shabby for an immunocompromised author who doesn’t get out much!)

I’ve seen artists use GryphIns characters as examples for animation commissions, I’ve seen fan art end up on tie dyed t-shirts, I’ve seen dozens of original characters created set in the world of Belamuria, and I’ve even had artists reach out to say that I was wrong in my author’s note for Crestfall to exclude vampire finch gryphons, and here was art to prove that point.

It’s been a delightful journey, and it’s still going. While all of Flam Singer’s pieces are on the fan art page, linked above, here’s just a few of my favorites from over the years. And if you enjoy them, feel free to stop in and tell him so on Blue Sky or Patreon =]

Flam Singer once asked the important question: What if feathermanes had pony manes instead of lion manes?
Flam had the very first fan art of Ninox.
