We spent the next two weeks slowly heading north, the days starting to become just a bit shorter. We were making alright time, although stopping halfway through the day felt all sorts of weird.
It was perfectly normal to my elvish traveling companions, and, well, when in the company of elves, do as the elves.
It was a day li...
2021-10-01 12:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostI yelled as the [Rubbery Rope] that attached me to Awarthril got yanked on, snapping me forward into the brawl. There was no [Bullet Time] activation, but I did throw a shield around the egg, curling around it protectively. There was no way I was going to let this get hurt.
“Oi!” Awar...

Sadly, it looks like the remaining pieces won't be done in time for the celebration :(. I might post the unfinished Elaine one, depending on a bunch of factors.
I do hope that the big epic one will show up in the next few weeks - it's my apology piece for missing some days this month, but the artist is having IRL problems....

No idea if Patreon lets you zoom in - https://i.imgur.com/PIPUuDI.jpg for a more zoom-able image.
Wild speculation belongs in the comments.
2021-09-27 20:09:47 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up, briefly panicked and confused at the stone surface above me, almost closing in on me. Was I back in the mines?! Was Lun’Kat’s lair, escape and freedom just a fever dream, my overactive imagination tantalizingly dangling freedom in front of me, pulling the wool over my eyes to the cruel reality that I was still trapped deep in the ...

Full credit to Ravishard for working out Iona in artbreeder!
There were a few moments where I got to feel smug at their surprise.
“You seized Immortality?” Serondes eventually asked.
“Seize immortality?” I asked, completely unfamiliar with the phrase.
“Attained it with a skill.” Aegion clarified.
“Seized is the better word.” Serondes muttered.
“Attained is a...

First of two (possible three) pictures of Elaine!
The other two are still WIP sadly, but WOW am I looking forward to them! This artist was pretty cheap ($20) looking forward to getting more art from them

Hey all!
9/28 will mark a full year of publishing Beneath the Dragoneye Moons! To celebrate, I have a boatload of art that I'll be posting between now and then. The $10+ tier exclusive artwork already got posted, and now I've got stuff for everyone!
It's been a wonderful journey so far with everyone. I can't believe how BT...
2021-09-22 20:41:59 +0000 UTC View PostI spent an excessively long time in the hot bath Serondes had made. I’d like to say it was because I was relaxing, enjoying my first hot soak since the dwarves.
No. I was mortified by the fact that I’d stunk so badly that the elves almost literally threw me in. I was determined to clean out every single last bit of dirt, grime, and gre...
2021-09-22 11:48:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
I tried giving my chibi artist a shot at doing a $10 tier commission, and the results are here!
Artemis, longing about in the Ranger wagon, with a crown of fire, eating some grapes!
Use your discretion.
2021-09-21 15:59:19 +0000 UTC View PostCelebration of artwork begins! Elaine, from the latest chapter!
Standard exclusive artwork disclaimer here :P
2021-09-20 15:39:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe fact that I’d given the oh-too-perfect elves a moment’s pause at my numbers was deeply satisfying. Serondes was the first to recover.
“Has to be a restriction skill, and narrow in scope.” He thoughtfully tapped his lips. “Mind sharing?”
“Eh. The full details I’d like to keep to myself, but yeah, it’s when I heal...
2021-09-20 12:48:53 +0000 UTC View Post“Why we’re here?” Awarthril repeated, tapping her lips thoughtfully. “Well, we’ve all got our own reasons, but one word’s enough to explain it. Shimagu.” She said, looking at me expectantly.
I blinked, tilting my head. Was that supposed to mean something?
“Do you not have Shimagu where you’re from?” Aegion asked.<...

The end of this month marks a full year of publishing Beneath the Dragoneye Moons, with minimal interruptions. It'll be 231 chapters in 365 days, and that doesn't include the side-stories, bonus content, or crossovers at all!
To celebrate, (and to ease my guilt over missing last week) there's a boatload of art incoming, most of ...
2021-09-15 19:42:23 +0000 UTC View PostAN: The book give away is done, the drawing complete! Three patrons won! Two non-patrons won! In the interest of privacy, I'm not going to reveal their information, but I dread seeing the shipping cost once it comes in.
If you're feeling like you missed out on signed copies, there's still the ebay auction. 2021-09-15 13:34:44 +0000 UTC View Post
AN: Just want to reassure everyone that everyone is A-OK here! Flora's happy, smiling, getting into trouble like before. Still has me all sorts of nervous, but things are returning to normal, with no long-term effects that we can see.
Thank you all for your support over the last week. It means a ton.
The only thing left ar...

I've been taking it easy - I promise.
However, I haven't been totally idle, more crossing things off of my to-do list. With that being said, I've crossed off a dozen items, and a number of them warrant an announcement! Huzzah!
First: Paperback copies of Beneath the Dragoneye Moons books 1-4 are now available...
2021-09-10 18:09:38 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
I apologize if I'm over-communicating a bit here. I try not to spam your inboxes, but I figured I owed you all an update.
Everyone is back home and OK now. We had a follow up with the Dr's today, and things are looking great! We're treating Flora with extra-fragile kid gloves for now, but everyone is ex...

short version: no chapter Wednesday and Friday. please take my deepest apologies, and know that I don’t do this lightly.
long version: I was carrying Flora and tripped. I’m now concussed, and worse, she’s got a minor skull fracture. We’re in the hospital now, waiting for the pediatric neurosurge...
2021-09-07 02:48:52 +0000 UTC View PostI exploded out of Lun’Kat’s lair, immediately tumbling and falling to the “ground” as my wings shattered against her protective illusion. I tumbled and rolled on the hard rocks, not a shred of evidence that it was a massive illusion instead of natural rock present. I stabilized into a roll, then as my feet got under me I kicked up and re...
2021-09-06 12:20:34 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up after a nice, long sleep, and had the urge to do a nice, big stretch and yawn.
I remembered where, exactly, I was, and immediately clamped down on that instinct. I looked down to where I should be, only to see dirt, some leaves that had fallen on me while I slept, and a few crushed berries.
I was still invisible - but in my...
2021-09-03 15:40:28 +0000 UTC View PostHey!
After yesterday's discussion and poll, I've decided not to add a "Beta-lite" reward to the $15 tier. Sorry for the whole announcement about it, but given how people were feeling and all the discussion around it, I figured I'd formally announce the results.
2021-09-02 12:25:59 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
I've done a small trial run of this, and I want to check with everyone as a whole before I roll this out as an official benefit.
I have a backlog. A fairly nice, 9 chapter, 3-week backlog on top of what's on Patreon. This allows me to edit it multiple times, and gives my beta readers as much time as the...
2021-09-01 19:39:26 +0000 UTC View PostI looked up, and up, and up at Lun’Kat. Part of why I’d been able to see her from the mines was due to whatever spatial shenanigans were going on here.
The much larger part was she was bloody huge! Her claws could skewer me, and I’m pretty sure if she tried to eat me I’d go down the hatch mostly-whole. Maybe crush...
2021-09-01 15:50:42 +0000 UTC View PostI froze in indecision, staring at the dragon, deep in her lair, hearing the creeping sound of the Shluggoth slow right down as [Bullet Time] activated.
I blinked, realizing that I could see in spite of all my skills being turned off. I’d gotten used to the complete and totally pitch black darkness when I’d tur...
2021-08-30 15:17:29 +0000 UTC View PostAN: You all thought I'd ignored the poll, and posted a bonus chapter on Thursday instead. HA! Little did you know, this week was a DOUBLE BONUS CHAPTER WEEK!

2021-08-28 10:30:59 +0000 UTC View PostI ran.
I ran with everything I had, sprinting, running, uncaring about the dangers and threats, directions and diversions, nothing else - just running.
Fleeing the golden chains and shackles behind me, running from the dwarves. I’d take the terrors of the deep, the chilly unknown, bad food and terrible water, if it came with freedo...
