This sketch is based on stryck's beautiful short story, Starlit Rays, about a school of star rays, which are like manta rays that live in deep space and feed on stars. In this scene, a young star ray named Scyne becomes separated from the school when she chases after a comet for a snack.

This is from Wanted: One Gnome, a poem by minor_architect in which a gardener hires a gnome to stop the rabbits from raiding her vegetables. These characters also appear in sweet iced tea, when the garden gnome shares his expertise to add just the right amount of mint.

This is a sketch based on Ellen Million's Elemental, in which her character, Jenny, encounters a fire elemental sent by the well-meaning were-bear(? what do you call someone who is a bear in summer but turns human instead of hibernating?) Bjorn, and must find a clever way to protect herself from the *ahem* elements. cleaned up sketch: rough sketch: This picture is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License, and may be freely used under the terms of that license with a link back to mikaspace.net Please see terms of use for details.

This is a sketch of warsailor Brelig's encounter with a deathfin sea monster, from Without Fail, a new Torn World story by ysabetwordsmith:

Brelig swiped his sickle toward the bleeding eyelid again -- and the deathfin grabbed him by that arm, lifting him high above the ship. The sudden shock of pain frayed his concentration. Brelig swung in the air, blood raining everywhere. Then he pulled himself upward to swing the axe into the deathfin's eye.

This is shameless fan art of reymonkey's character Damien Stockholm, "a hunter of the supernatural for eighteen years who was known by his business card and reputation as 'the Spectre' and recognized on sight in more than one country". In Just this side of normal, he has been called upon to investigate a reclusive old man suspected by his Oh-So-Normal neighbours of being a vampire. When their suspicions are confirmed, the bounty hunter must decide how to deal with him.

This is a scene from the first book set in clare_dragonfly 's Chatoyant College, the only american university that has classes in magic alongside its more conventional course offerings. All is not what it seems on what, at first, appears to be a normal college campus, and freshman students Annie, Edie, Corrie, Dawn, and Rico soon find themselves fleeing the real reason the nearby forest is forbidden.

This one isn't really from a story. It's a request from my friend Mike, a civil war re-enactor, who asked that I draw him "Doing something old timey! Civil war or otherwise.[..]maybe working on the railroad or something cool ;)" I think the resulting sketch looks like it could be from a story, so I'm posting it here anyway :)
