Once again the great stone doors of the RS fanart vault scrape open, and through writhing tongues of candlelit dust, awakened from their sleep of a thousand years, arise fan works from as far back in time as RS’ beginning—which was 2016, but given all that’s happened in the past decade, it may as well have been a couple orders of magnitude earlier. And to be honest, given all that’s happening now, the odds don’t favour another thousand years, either, but before we descend into a classic dejected phonegazing session, check out this Ro by Daniel Salgo, who is apparently a bit of an internet ghost these days. Dan, if you’re in the room with us now, thank you again!

Friend-of-the-comic StrangeApe cooked up this ‘modernized’ Dal not long after RS premiered!

These sketches of Dal, Crjth and Sorril by Joie made me very happy when I first laid eyes on them—this is to my knowledge the very first image of Crjth not drawn by Jenn or myself! Pioneering fan work, right here.

Some people just draw Dal cuter than I do, and I just have to get down with that.

Right, well, there’s your fanart. Now scram! Those dust-tongues look lecherous, and I don’t want to find myself in another whole HR hullabaloo. If you’d like to submit fan work, you can throw it at mail@risingsand.glass!

See you in hell!

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.
