Remarque Roundup
We were supposed to have one more awesome thing to talk about this week, but it had to be shifted back a week. So how about some fun fanart you may not have seen?
“Hellfire Harry” is by Tyler Walpole, illustrator of the Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game, which is now available on iOS/Mac, Android, Steam, and the Switch for all your social distancing needs.
“Harry and Hades” and the Peace Talks remarques are from Adam Mathison-Sward, who illustrated last week’s Mister-POV microfiction comic and “Christmas Eve.”
Give both artists some love on their socials! Tyler on Twitter, Insta, and FB and Adam on Twitter, Insta, and FB.
