The Western Allied Postal Guild has existed in one form or another from antiquity. Since the invention of the Hathi press, however, the organization has ballooned into a juggernaut institution tasked with delivering an exponentially-expanding volume of mail to all corners of the Western Waste—and even into the nearest regions of Erj's Eastern Waste, making it one of the few true interwaste organizations. Indeed, the Guild is such a loadbearing pillar Erjan life, that 'the Guild runs the world' has remained a common punchline for hundreds of years...

Fanart Friday!

Time is a flat circle. Everything is always. So if you’re pissed I promised you a month ago that I’d begin posting some of the incredible fanart we’ve received here on the website, just don’t worry about it; it is here, now, and now is the only thing that’s real. So, put down the roach clip and check out this excellent piece of our main cast by friend-of-the-Sand and fellow webcomic author rivvetgunn! If you know what’s good for you, you’ll check out her beautiful fantasy western There You Ain’t!, coming soon! Again!

But that’s not all—the will of Sand is immutable such that its readers mutilate their very flesh in its name! The following are two such examples, both by Jenn’s daughter-in-law, who is so hard, she’s learning the art in Prison Mode.

I mean, like—she’s not in prison. Not yet.

Anyway, we’ve got a ton of beautiful fan and guest art from ten years of RS, and it’s time we began showcasing it on our own platform. We’re so touched that RS has inspired people to use some of their precious time on this Earth to make something—if you’d like to add to the stack, we’d love to see it! Send your work to mail@risingsand.glass! Or else!

…and else.

Rising Sand is 10!

Today, Rising Sand turns TEN YEARS OLD!

It’s been a difficult journey, the path strewn with obstacles, but we’re still standing! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much for taking an interest in our story. We’re not going anywhere. Here’s to ten more!

Happy New Yearn’t! + Rising S& Q&A

Happy New Year! Or perhaps Cautiously Optimistic New Year? Or perhaps we abolish the concept of years altogether, given the last several? Calendars fake. Here’s some nice Jenn art to celebrate.

So, where have we been? None of your business. But pages are on the way, the first of which will be arriving shortly. Nobody expects anybody to get anything done in January, especially on the internet. Stop booing me, I’m right.

Anyway, Jenn and I would like to use this blog for more than just housekeeping and apologies, so we’ve decided to start a monthly Q&A for readers interested in learning more about Rising Sand, from both production and lore perspectives. Paid members of our Patreon can feel free to check out the post here to drop a Q, which will be A’d in this very blog one month hence. Keep it classy. Maybe we’ll even award a little jpg of a crown or something to the best one. Sky’s the limit, guys.

Thank you all so much for enjoying Rising Sand—your readership has been more inspiring than I could ever have dreamed, and Jenn and I are so grateful.

Pages whenever, but soon.
—Ty
