A volcano goddess (with dark skin with orange molten rivulets flowing through it) looks into the eyes of a faun (with light skin, white wavy hair, long faun ears, and glowing golden horns). The background is a pattern of golden constellations and has two lineart drawings of crescent moons with flowers on them. Character art by @gagakumadraws.bsky.social. The text reads: Meet the Races of To Speak With the Stars. Faun.
The same digital art of the volcano goddess and faun is in the bottom right corner. The background is golden constellations. Character art by @gagakumadraws.bsky.social. The text reads: highly telepathic; hair colour can be green, teal, violet, ginger, or white; afraid of fire (except for Thyme, who's in love with a lava goddess); vegetarian; celebrate everything (and I mean everything) with food, drink, and music.
In the centre is artwork of two elves. One is light-skinned with a long braid of black and teal. The other is dark-skinned with dreadlocks decorated with gold bands. Around the art are circles of bright flame and then a background of starry skies. Character art by @gagakumadraws.bsky.social. Text reads: To Speak With the Stars. A dark high fantasy. Follow along to find out when it releases!
Last but not least, โจ๏ธfaunsโจ๏ธ
I fell in love with fauns due to Mr. Tumnus from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

That's a tough one! I think I'd go with Tempered in Ash by Willo Glenn. It's a high fantasy in a queer-normative world and has the perfect balance of action and humour ๐

a blue shark-like humanoid woman with a large dorsal fin, a long tail, and shimmering, speckled skin. She is wearing a frilly yellow sundress that is slightly off-shoulder, giving her a shy, bashful appearance. Her expression is nervous but sweet, with one hand touching her cheek and the other held loosely at her side
Itโs the end of #mermay so itโs time for one fish lady for the road. Based on a whale shark, one of my top ten shark and shark adjacent guys

A goddess made of magma holds a glowing golden orb. Her skin is dark with orange rivulets. Her dark hair flows out behind her. The background is bright orange magma. The text reads, Meet the Races of To Speak With the Stars. Igni. Character art by @gagakumadraws.bsky.social
A smaller image of the volcano goddess is at the bottom. The background is black with rivulets of orange magma. The text reads, Magma elementals. Live in a hidden city deep within the volcano. Can mold their bodies into other shapes (such as magma merfolk that can travel quickly through the volcano's conduits).
In the centre is artwork of the volcano goddess, Pel, and her partner, a faun named Thyme. Thyme has golden horns. There are two bright rings of flame surrounding the image. The text reads, In order to rise, you must first fall. To Speak With the Stars. A dark high fantasy. Follow along to find out when it releases! Character art by @gagakumadraws.bsky.social

A dark-skinned Syri elf with dark braids and a light-skinned Icri elf with ginger hair and a dark green hood on. Both hold swords. The text reads, Meet the Races of To Speak With the Stars. Syri elf. Icri elf.
Syri elves. Sometimes born with star (fire) magic. Worship the star goddess, Syra. Dark skin. Hair colour can be black, brown, or dark blue.
Icri elves. Sometimes born with ice magic. Worship the twin moon gods, Icra and Icron. Light skin. Hair colour can be white, blonde, or ginger.
A dwarf wearing a hood and armour and smoking a pipe pores over a history book. The text reads, Meet the Races of To Speak With the Stars. Dwarf.
A smaller picture of the dwarf in the previous slide. The text reads, He was a scrawny dwarf with a surprisingly ornately-braided beard and permanent cold bumps along his exposed skin. Eos met his gaze and he immediately looked down at his shoes, spectacles balancing precariously on his stubby nose. His eyes were a rich gold, unlike any others Eos had seen. His lack of musculature hinted at a more scholarly status than escorting a prisoner to his execution.
What's your preference for high fantasy?
Nostalgia? Brand-new ideas? Or a mix?
I've got a mix in my dark high fantasy WIP: elves, dwarves, fauns, magma elementals, and two draconic races๐

This is following the action figure trend. At the bottom is a blue ice dragon with four wings like a dragonfly and icicles on his chin. The accessories at the top are a fish, a bottle of scale polish, and a joke scroll. The text reads, Zzortis. King of the Crystalkin. Now with opposable wings! Fish feast. Scale polish. Joke scroll.
A smiling face of a large blue draconic creature with sharp teeth and long horns. Icicles drip from its chin. It's a unique fantasy race called a crystalkin. Text reads, In order to rise, you must first fall. To Speak With the Stars. A dark high fantasy. Follow along to find out when it releases!
