Lightning Strike, Book II, the rest of Chapter Eleven
I've posted the second half of Chapter 11 for Lightning Strike, Book II on my Patreon page. www.patreon.com/posts/37828229
Credit, first picture: wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=910357 This is a wall paper, and I couldn't find the name of the artist. If anyone else can find their name, I would much appreciate your posting here.
I'm not sure the picture fits the story. For one, the setting should be a desert. For another, Bhaaj probably wouldn't carry a spear. I've no objection to her with one; I just never had her do it in any book. She does have a big knife, though. The character looks a bit like Bhaaj, but not as rugged and weathered, and Bhaaj is darker (she's Maya). In any case, I like the picture.
Edit: Lee Thomson writes: "I believe the first image is promo/official/wallpaper art for the game ARK: Survival Evolved (ironically game developers rarely credit the individual artists)." My thanks to Lee!
Here is a link to the game ARK. It looks like a really cool game. If I'm not careful, I might get drawn in (I play far too many online games). store.steampowered.com/app/346110/ARK....

The second picture I thought was cool. This one is even less like a desert, but something about it reminded me of Tina. I can't tell for certain from the picture if the influences are Maya, Aztec, or both.
The second thing I thought when I saw this picture, though (after my "That's beautiful" reaction), was, "Wow, it would really hurt to ride that dino dressed like that." I mean, I get it, the picture is gorgeous and she's gorgeous. But still. I grumbled.
I do like the picture, though. The artist has a lot of talent. You can see more of her work here: www.deviantart.com/sandara

The (new) Quantum Rose, Chapter III
I've put up chapter III of The (new) Quantum Rose on my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/posts/43979714
I hope to get all of the chapters posted for patrons in the next few months, before the rewritten book goes on sale as an eBook.
Art credits: Prince Havyrl: conmyth.fandom.com/wiki/Triston_Matth...
This one I found for a character on the con myth fandom wiki. He looks like the character Prince Havyrl in The Quantum Rose, but he is actually a character called Triston Matthews III in the game. For more details on the game and the character(s), see the details at the site and on the pictures itself. They have a lot of great stuff there!
