Again, I don't remember the theme for this one, haha. Aster does actually have other talents apart from being a manipulative gremlin! He learned to play the violing because, well, he grew up rich. He says he's not very good at it, but Calixtus thinks it's amazing he has so many talents. Obviously, he's a little biased. 

Next up, here's a drawing I did for a palette challenge. I actually really liked the colors, though I wish I'd had more than a day to work on it, haha. Maybe I'll do a redraw for this one someday. It's fun to work with a more painterly style sometimes. 

And lastly, this one's a scene from chapter 21 or 22, I forget which one. It's right after the conversation in the courtyard where Aster tells Calixtus about being a dreamseer. You know, after he slept for days and almost gave poor Calixtus a heart attack. 

I wish I had the time to make more illustrations. I always wanted to include some in the story, but I figured that wasn't feasible, especially as I'm still writing the story. At least I can post them here for you all to see. 

Anyway, I hope you've all liked this week's batch!
