Why I Did this[]
If anyone likes reading, or just wants to have something pretty to look at while enjoying a good story. This is for you.
Books[]
Everything you love about fantasy, with subverted cliche tropes that are turned on their heads and made fresh and new
Ocean's Eleven stylized action meets Lord of the Rings level fantasy with plenty of steampunk.
The books follow a young warrior named Takeo in his struggles to avenge an adoptive father, escape the legacy of his biological father, and pursue the love of his life in the midst of an enormous power struggle involving dozens of clan lords and thousands of warriors.
Recently I've become deeply in love with L. E. Modesitt's Imager Portfolio, a charming series that though slightly simple is rich and deep, but sports an oddly complex nerve that has left me coming back for more time and time again.
The political aspect plays it's role but for those of us (particularly me) who have only a vague understanding of politics it doesn't get overly wordy (no need to write down a chart thankfully). The parts that are the most interesting are frankly what most writers' leave out or gloss over; such as family dinners or meeting with some friends at a bar to talk, those tiny little details that mean so much in the scheme of things yet are overlooked and their written to astonishing detail.
If you havent read it yet, buy it. I don't say that often, and even less when it comes to recent fantasy novels or series.
Webcomics[]
Meela is a young, orphaned lupian (a race of people with wolf-like features) who is
struggling to survive on her own. A chance encounter on less than pleasant terms teams
her up with Feral, another lupian who happens to be a mute as well as one of the best
mercenaries in the land, and who is not quite so welcoming of her forced company as she
would like to believe. Fun, danger and plenty of humorous situations follow the two on
their wayward adventures, however the seemingly peaceful world they reside in is not
quite the paradise that its reputation makes it out to be. When a taboo topic and a dark
secret collide, it may unravel their already tattered lives and force each of them to face
the reality of the truth, requiring each to make decisions that could alter their lives
forever.
A steampunk fantasy where the lives of several seemingly unrelated people from opposite
ends of the world are torn apart as the result of one careless action.
The Prophecy of the Circle takes place on a single continent in the southwestern hemisphere of a distant and unnamed world. Two sentient species, the tikedi and their predatory reptilian neighbors, the tekk, live in a violent co-existence with one another. There is no common language between them, and no interest in the exchange of ideas. There are only borders that must never be crossed, rules that must never be ignored, and the Circle, which must never be broken.
The Phoenix Requiem is a Victorian-inspired supernatural fantasy story about faith, love, death, and the things we believe in.

A Redtail's Dream
Synopsis
Main characters of the comic are 24 year old Hannu Viitanen and his five year old dog Ville and they have wacky adventures together because I made it so. Most of the story has sprung from complete randomness that my brain has pushed out, which I've then seasoned with some elements from Finnish mythology and more random brain-goo.
