Anfyn Glen Fan Art
I have a particular fan (he happens to be sitting right beside me) that insists on drawing my characters, so I finally decided to get off my butt and post a couple of them. Dometrius’s first pic is a portrait of a young Faceless, one of the monsters in my Anfyn Glen series. They are sexless, reproducing in the same way as yeasts and bacteria, basically sloughing off a piece of themselves. Their lifespan is exactly 25 years w/out artificial extension, and they remember everything that’s ever happened to any of their ancestors directly up their family tree. As completely magical constructs, they have the ability to change shape at will, making them very dangerous to otherwise innocent passerby. Ironically, despite eating meat and their habit of killing Aulds, they are a prey species because there are much bigger and badder nasties out there in the wastelands. Young ones that have not been trained by their elders bolt instinctively when frightened, rather than stand and fight. They can also be deceptively cute when they want to be ![]()

Next, we have a Tsoradin, also of the Anfyn Glenn. They are tall, lithe, and noseless (they breathe through the tiny holes under their horn-base like a porpoise or one of those huge land-based dinos). Their power lies in their horns. The older they are, the bigger their horns, the more blood-based magic they can absorb and store in them. A Tsoradin can have up to six main horns, and another six jaw tines, all ivory at birth. Evil blood magics–those taken unwillingly from the victim–stain a Tsoradin’s horns gray. Friendship-based blood magics, when stored in a Tsoradin’s horns, will turn them silver. This one, as you can see, hasn’t begun training in the blood magics yet.

Here’s a species of phoenix/firewoman/critter/thingie (flames come with the final color, which Dometrius is still working on). They’re called drakes in the Anfyn Glen, and they loosely adhere to a lot of the legends of the phoenix.

And, because he’s also a writer and because I think his latest story is damn cool, here’s his cybernetic anthro smuggler cat, Cody Marik.

I have other art and fan comments to post, but knowing my penchant for procrastination, I probably won’t get around to it for the next couple weeks. I’ll give Dom one thing…it’s kind of hard to procrastinate when your fan is 6′8″ and as rabid about your work as your friendly neighborhood wolverine.
If you liked the art, give Dometrius a shout at dometriusking@gmail.com. He loves to talk art, and he does do commissions.
