Description "Illustrations from the Seven Kingdoms," is a project based on the Graceling Realm book series by Kristin Cashore. The series spans several books, all taking place in the same high-fantasy world. Each book focuses on a different cast of characters, many who appear and have storylines throughout all the books. This project implements character design and illustrations depicting significant scenes throughout the series. The focus was to work on the skill of translating text to illustration successfully by paying attention to detail and being able to fill in any missing information in a cohesive way." From the Artist. This piece, featured in the 2024 Illustration Capstone exhibition is accompanied with the following text: "Then one raptor high in the sky felt her, and then sighted her, and screamed a horrible sound, like metal screeching against metal. Fire knew what that sound meant, and so did the other raptors. Like a cloud of gnats they lifted from the soldiers. They shot into the sky, twirling desperately, searching for monster prey, finding it. The soldiers were forgotten. Every last raptor monster dove for her. Now she had two jobs: to get herself and her horse back to the gates, if she could; and to stop the soldiers from doing something heroic and foolish when they saw what she'd done. She spurred Small forward. She slammed the thought at Brigan as hard as she could, not manipulation, which she knew would be futile-only a message. "If you don't continue onward to Gray Haven this instant, I will have done this for nothing." - Fire, page 14"
