In contrast, my rendition of Shae on the edges places the turbulent halo around her heart (iykyk). The halo is a motif that recurs across all three Peranakan glass edges, following the sequence hands-heart-head, linking the Kaul siblings. [book photos by TBB rep Melissa Rose!]

The superhuman speed at which trained Green Bones fight gives them a huge advantage over jadeless combatants, so much so that the fight and violence feel almost farcical and senseless. It's certainly a sentiment that gets evoked more and more as we progress through book 2 and 3.

Front endpaper art + notes, @binding_broken's edition of Jade War by @FondaJLee. AD @PetrikReads asked for the airport fight in Tialuhiya where we see (from left) Vinn, Lott, Juen, Hilo, Doun, and Tar, each employing one or more of the jade disciplines. Sketch, close-ups below:

Endpaper art + notes for @binding_broken's edition of Jade City. Spoilers in the 2nd slide! @PetrikReads suggested depicting an imagined scene that would make for a good intro to the setting and characters: the No Peak clan having a meal at the Twice Lucky. Close-ups below:

Thanks to TBB rep Melissa Rose for the shots of the hardback and endpapers as they appear in the physical book! I'm still waiting eagerly on this side of the world for my copies to arrive.

And that ornately framed, large painting will be a familiar sight to anyone walking into a Chinese diaspora family restaurant (although you might have carp or horses or a SEAsian village instead of mountains).

And here's the map of Kekon for JADE WAR, since @binding_broken shared pics yesterday. I wanted to reference events in the book and flesh out the world a bit more through the items: the monument pamphlet, car keys, stone scrap...I'm glad the Hilo sketch made it to final art ;)

Looked at a lot of mid-to-late 19th and 20th century maps for inspiration, decided to go with a blend of Chinese and Japanese brush map styles. The compass rose features the same flower seen in the edge design, which is taken from Peranakan-style windows and furniture.

A map of Janloon for @FondaJLee's JADE CITY, in the upcoming edition by The Broken Binding. Loved getting to do worldbuilding through the paraphernalia for all three maps, though I can't show the rest just yet. Lots of refs to the story included, some more subtle than others.

Since folks have asked, yes, I'll have prints of the maps for sale, but they'll only be made available after the TBB books reach subscribers at least. I do think all three maps will look great as posters or prints side-by-side on a wall.
