ATTENTION: BOOK SPOILERS!

Early last year, Ryan Campbell asked me if I was interested in drawing a scene from his then-upcoming book, God of Fire. As a fan of the characters, my reaction was understandably something close to “AAAAAAAAAAA!”

Unrelated real-life events made working on this picture a challenge. Self-doubt also reared its ugly head far too many times.

But in the end? This turned out to be the kind of drawing I wish I could have plastered all over my social media the moment I finished it. Let’s be honest: I’m really, really proud of it.

I’ve been dying to finally show this in public. Now that the book is out, I can finally do so.
