Dylan describes his entry to the Skull Throne ARC Contest along with the scene that inspired him:

My handmade quartz and oak arrow with battle ward’s spiraling down the shaft to represent my all time favorite scene as an archer in “The Painted Man”.

“My Daughter Wonda hunts with my some times i won’t have her out in the naked night, but if ya let her have a bow behind the wards, you’l find her aim is true” – Finn

Incredible. I think Wonda would be proud to shoot this warded arrow. Thanks for entering, Dylan.

Mat enters the Skull Throne ARC Contest, inspired by this scene from The Desert Spear:

‘Marick stared at the Warded Man, though his hood was drawn and his tattooed hands were hidden in the voluminous sleeves of his robe.“Are you… him?” Marick asked.The Warded Man pulled back his hood, revealing his painted flesh, and Marick gasped.’

Awesome. I love how this moment was captured! From the wards to the hood, Mat nailed it. Thanks for entering!

In the quickest of all AMAs, Peat was able to answer a few questions between panels last weekend at ConFusion SF in Detroit. You can check out all of the questions (ranging from the specific to the silly) here. But we’ve also pulled a few of our favorites. Check them out below:

What is the most interesting thing that has happened at ConFusion 2015 thus far?

Subterranean Press takes out a group of authors every year for weapons training. We went to a gun range one year, archery another. This year was fencing lessons. I got to literally cross swords with Joe Abercrombie, taking him 5/1. I was feeling the full Highlander “There can be only one!” until a moment later when I was soundly defeated by Steven Erikson. Then to compound the injury, my girlfriend Lauren took both me and Abercrombie down 5/4 each.

At least I was on the winning team!

Are you currently reading any books? What are some of your favorite lesser known writers? I’ve hit a dry spot on my reading list, so I’m looking for recommendations.

Just finished Half the World by Joe Abercrombie, and it was fantastic. Currently listening to Joe Hill’s Horns on audiobook and enjoying it quite a bit. Beta reading The Fractured Girl by Myke Cole at the moment.

Just finished the Kevin Hearne Iron Druid audiobooks. Nice light enjoyable fare. Great for the elliptical machine.

What is your favorite movie?

Geez. Who knows anymore. I watched the shit out of Captain America: Winter Solider and Pacific Rim last year. My daughter and I have also watched Guardians of the Galaxy quite a few times. Still faves I’ll watch any time are Brotherhood of the Wolf and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I tend to drift toward movies with awesome fight choreography. Probably due to a childhood wasted on superhero comics and D&D novels.

In an awesome mash-up of the Demon Cycle and Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid series, Keith has tattooed the Morrigan encircled by wards.

Wow. Incredible tattoo, Keith. I love how the wards have a black background, as if they have been carved. Fantastic entry!

You can see all visual entires over on Facebook or Pinterest.
