    This will be my third year at AWA as an artist. I do mostly digital and photo-manipulation in fantasy and steam-punk genres. I also have a large selection of Steam and EGL inspired accessories such as bracelets, chokers and hair pieces. Finally, I am the creator of the Webcomic-turned-web-novel "Prilian Legends: Age of Prophecy" I will have some artwork featuring characters from the series as well as free-to-read copies of all currently published chapters.
