Keerin & Ragen Fan Art

Posted by Meg

@Marken4, the fan responsible for the amazing Thesan Wiki, was silent on the Forum for a while. Then he posted some incredible fan art that we are all drooling over.

Ragen

Keerin

Check out what he had to say about his creations:

So I made some fanart, ’cause I suddenly started wondering about when the next book would be out! So then my interest for these series rebloomed, and I drew Keerin. Didn’t really feel like that alone was too much to show tho, so I drew Ragen as well! I plan on doing Arlen too (maybe Leesha and Rojer).

It is awesome to see these two secondary characters come to life. Beautiful details and colors on both figures. Can’t wait to see more!
