Hey #PortfolioDay I'm Ricky Ho, Creative Director and Founder at Moon Pillar Studio. Lately, I've been creating cosmere fanart in my free time!

[Ricky Ho @RickyHoConcepts]

I am reading through The Imago Sequence by @LairdBarron and felt like challenging myself by painting one of the horrific scenes from the short story Old Virginia.

Rarely on here anymore, but I recently read A Short Stay in Hell a few weeks ago. I loved it so much that I needed to make an illustration for it.

Now, I'm looking for book recommendations with a similar flavor!

Forgot to share this earlier, but @MoonPillarArt is working with Rebel Wolves on this! I created the background for this illustration.

It's an awesome project and I can't wait for everyone to see more of it next week!

Last year, my team @MoonPillarArt had the incredible opportunity to craft a new fantasy universe for Immortals of Aveum, and we are so excited for its launch next week!

We will be sharing some concept art we created later, but for now check out the launch trailer!

Summon your power. Stop the Everwar. Save the realms.

Watch the OFFICIAL LAUNCH TRAILER feat. the song 'All Time Great' by @LilJufu now! #ImmortalsOfAveum

That priest story from Hyperion 😦

[Ricky Ho @RickyHoConcepts]

I started reading Hyperion 👀

[Ricky Ho @RickyHoConcepts]

@BookMeanderings The first few episodes are a bit rough but it gets good! I’m struggling with season 2 though

[Ricky Ho @RickyHoConcepts]

@jason_mushrooms Let me know when you read it! I’m gonna be hopping on my first read through for Rhythm of War too

[Ricky Ho @RickyHoConcepts]

It took a while, but I finally found time to finish Tigana. It did so many things well! Has anyone else read it recently? I’d love to discuss it

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

In case anyone was curious, the people responsible for the AI intro to Secret Invasion called their work a "milestone" and "groundbreaking".

Then they deleted their post on IG about it. How groundbreaking is it if you have to disassociate from it.
