Ricky Ho

Hey #PortfolioDay I'm Ricky Ho, Creative Director and Founder at Moon Pillar Studio. Lately, I've been creating cosmere fanart in my free time!

I am reading through The Imago Sequence by @LairdBarron and felt like challenging myself by painting one of the horrific scenes from the short story Old Virginia. #bookart #illustration #horror #digitalpainting

Rarely on here anymore, but I recently read A Short Stay in Hell a few weeks ago. I loved it so much that I needed to make an illustration for it. Now, I'm looking for book recommendations with a similar flavor! #illustration #digitalpainting #horror

Forgot to share this earlier, but @MoonPillarArt is working with Rebel Wolves on this! I created the background for this illustration. It's an awesome project and I can't wait for everyone to see more of it next week!

@PetrikReads @binding_broken Like wise dude! It was a pleasure :)

@RickyHoConcepts @binding_broken Still amazed I got to work on this series with you, Ricky!

@RoboftheHayes I rewatched this a couple months ago. I forgot how good it was

It's that day again. Maybe time to rewatch one of the greatest fantasy stories ever told. 😁

Last year, my team @MoonPillarArt had the incredible opportunity to craft a new fantasy universe for Immortals of Aveum, and we are so excited for its launch next week! We will be sharing some concept art we created later, but for now check out the launch trailer!

That priest story from Hyperion 😦

I started reading Hyperion 👀

@BookMeanderings The first few episodes are a bit rough but it gets good! I’m struggling with season 2 though

Alright, I'm gonna give Succession another shot. On to episode 2 of season 1. I hope some of the characters become just a bit more likable 🤞

@jason_mushrooms Let me know when you read it! I’m gonna be hopping on my first read through for Rhythm of War too

@RickyHoConcepts I'm rereading Stormlight right now, but Kay is going to be the next author I dig into

It took a while, but I finally found time to finish Tigana. It did so many things well! Has anyone else read it recently? I’d love to discuss it

In case anyone was curious, the people responsible for the AI intro to Secret Invasion called their work a "milestone" and "groundbreaking". Then they deleted their post on IG about it. How groundbreaking is it if you have to disassociate from it.
