Starting tomorrow, I'll be posting 4 full weeks of new monsters beginning with, one of my favorite authors, Charles R. Saunders!
If you've been following this blog or my Instagram you'll know I'm obsessed with Saunders' Sword and Soul characters Imaro and Dossouye. Imagine if Conan had a well planned and executed arc, multiple well-rounded recurring characters and it didn't have the racism. That's Imaro. Imagine a Dora Milaje-type warrior with a water buffalo as a best friend that wanders the countryside like a ronin. That's Dossouye. But what Saunders is amazing at is writing monsters. His creatures are some of the most imaginative and bizarre I've encountered in all my reading. They draw on the mythology of various African cultures, pulp fiction and even cryptids!
Support Charles' work by buying one of his books through Lulu! Hopefully, my drawings will inspire you to pick up some of his work.
so what's your Instagram?
