🏺 AGE OF AQUARIUS 🏺 (Commission by the fantastic @grey0295.bsky.social ✨) #Warcraft #wranduin

The images are of Wrathion and Anduin from World of Warcraft. It's a commission done by @grey0295 (Grey!) for @ClaretAsh.

The art is an ornamental piece, stylised elegantly, with a main colour palette of yellow, grey and white.

The center focus of the piece is Anduin and Wrathion in black and gold outfits, standing together. Anduin holds a stylised pure white dish, as Wrathion casts a hand across it, a halo emanating from it. Around the outer edge is Anduin with a sun motif behind him, holding a vase. Water flows from it, linking it to it's opposite - Wrathion. Behind him is a moon motif, and the flow of his outfit links him back to Anduin's side. The image is perfectly balanced.

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius

Cover reveal! Huge thank you to @grey0295.bsky.social for the beautiful cover art for my adult faerie tale retelling, MY THORNS FOR YOUR ROSES. I’ll post updates before release date on April 14th, 2026 with @conquestpublishing.bsky.social #coverreveal #indiebook #readingsky #booksky #fantasy

Two people are facing one another. On the left is Tamlin, who is tall with long, wavy brown hair with primroses in it. The faerie wears a plaid in various shades of green with leafy embellishments. Tamlin’s smiling down at the woman, gently holding her chin with his thumb.

Lark, the woman on the right, has long, tawny hair tied halfway back with a thin ribbon, a white rose behind her left ear. She wears a long sleeved dress in a sandy color and holds a basket full of flower in the crook of her arm. Lark is looking up at Tamlin.

The two are surrounded by rose bushes in pastel colors.

The image is framed in black with an intricate bronze border. In the foreground there is the title in white letters with purple borders: “My Thorns For Your Roses” with the author’s name “Kristen Argyres” below.

In small text above the woman, next to the man’s head are the words “The Cairnwood Reel Series.”

A digital sepia-filtered artwork of Jinu and Abby Saja of the Saja Boys from KPop Demon Hunters. They are both wearing school uniforms and sitting opposite each other at a table while working on some papers.

It shows Abby leaning his chin on his hand while staring lovingly at Jinu who is talking to Abby while figuring out something to write for his paper.

Written text in image reads ShaniceTJN.
