[@Love_and_lore]

Love this! So excited!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you, Kaden! My very best to you!

[@NerdLevelRising]

Said it before and I'll say it again, Rene doesn't miss!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

He's immensely talented and seems to know how to conjure the right atmosphere. Cheers, Jake!

[@californiapenguin9434]

This art really takes me back to reading this chapter last year. What an epic end to the first book, and to think that the subsequent books dial the epic up even further.

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you, Julian! I'm amazed at how well Aigner's art brings to life the scene I was envisioning.

[@stevehoran6011]

A foreword by Mark Lawrence is exceptional, congratulations sir!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@stevehoran6011 That is one of the most exciting parts for me, especially since Mark Lawrence is one of my literary heroes!

[@ZOMGfantasy]

Looks amazing! Congrats Philip on a beautiful SE!!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you, Zammar! As a fellow author, you know how cool it is to see something you conjured in writing take form as art.

[@this_alec]

so much atmosphere! i can't wait to get my hands on this edition of your book, Philip!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you, Alec! Aigner has done a brilliant job of conveying the atmosphere I was going for in the book.

[@ernstbrehm1135]

Really incredible! Can’t wait to pick this edition up!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thanks so much, Ernst! I deeply appreciate your support!

[@TomOrange]

The city looks amazing! Another great piece of art

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you, Tom! Iarfaen looks beautiful and yet so fragile beneath those looming mountains and clouds!

[@jeremyfee]

This is THE WAY! Nice.

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you, Jeremy! It's exciting to me to see the story portrayed like this!

[@jeremyfee]

@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy I imagine your walls will be covered in framed art from the stories. :)

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@jeremyfee That’s an excellent idea!

[@vaughnroycroft999]

Talk about epic scale! I really like what Aigner has done with that ceiling of low clouds. You can feel the weight of the looming battle pressing down, and the vastness of the mountain backdrop really aids in capturing the feeling that you did in the book, of being a small, somewhat helpless cog in the enormity of war. Kudos to everyone involved! Congrats, Philip!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thanks so much, Vaughn! I couldn't be more happy with how well Aigner's art has meshed with and added to my vision. All the best!

[@Mmitchtexas]

Splendid !

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you, Marcus!

[@Johanna_reads]

This is absolutely incredible! I wish I could take art lessons from René Aigner. Congratulations, Philip!!!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

I wish I could too! I think he's incredibly talented, and to me he conjures the atmosphere of what I was trying to portray so well. Cheers, Johanna!

[@callinicobo5991]

Amazing

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you so much!

[@AkahigeNoAmo]

that looks stunning !!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thanks so much! I couldn't be happier!

[@OnlyTheBestFantasyNovels]

That looks amazing. Not sure why but when I first saw this I thought of Gondolin!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thanks so much! It's a human city, but I get the Gondolin vibes!

[@jenniferobin7260]

Beautiful! Can’t wait to order this!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

[@arabellawillow]

Wow René Aigner is such an unbelievably good artist. The way he makes characters and scenes look so realistic is just stunning 😍 It's been such a joy ride watching you release these art prints Dr. Chase. Truely, thank you 🙏🏼

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you, Arabella! I agree with you about Aigner's talent -- I feel very fortunate to have him involved in this project!

[@iSamwise]

@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy Do you know when we’ll be able to hear the eagerly awaited audiobook?

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@iSamwise I believe it will be next week! I’ll put out an announcement video on release day. I’ll be shouting!

[@iSamwise]

@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy Fantastic!! I’ve been saving an Audible credit for this!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@iSamwise I appreciate that very much!

[@SamNot-so-wise]

Epic!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Cheers, Sam-Much-Wiser-than-Not-so-Wise!

[@MacScarfield]

Awesome: I especially like how the sunbeams, the low heavy and dark clouds and steep mountains work together to create a natural “larger than life” atmosphere and tension, as if two huge armies opposing each other outside a white Fantasy castle was not enough to make our beloved characters feel they are facing impossible challenges!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you, MacScarfield! I love the atmosphere that Aigner conjures in this piece!

[@DoUnicornsRead]

😍 This will be such a wonderful edition, Philip! Each of these art pieces (illustrations feels almost like in insult) is just outstanding!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

You're right, Angela! They are art pieces, indeed. All the best!

[@alexiskiri9693]

Just popped in to tell you how much I am enjoying your books. Finished the first and am starting on the second. Can't wait for the Netflix series.

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@alexiskiri9693 Thanks so much! I appreciate your kind words! 😊

[@bigaldoesbooktube1097]

This is an AMAZING spread 👌

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@bigaldoesbooktube1097 Thanks so much, Al! I feel lucky to have Aigner’s art gracing this special edition.

[@BrianBell7]

woo hoo! I can't wait to buy and display these books!!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@BrianBell7 You are an excellent friend, Brian! I appreciate your support more than I can express!

[@BrianBell7]

@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy no spoilers, but your ears may have been burning this morning while I filmed my video for tomorrow :)

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@BrianBell7 😳 That explains why my hat caught on fire!

[@Talking_Story]

looking sooo good Dr Chase!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

Thank you, John! I'm still pinching myself!

[@Talking_Story]

@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy I bet!

[@esmayrosalyne]

I've been loving seeing these artworks, because my visualisation skills are not the best and this is only making the story feel more vibrant and epic than your wonderfully immersive prose did. Congrats again on the beautiful piece!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@esmayrosalyne Thank you, Esmay! It’s magical for me to see these scenes rendered into art. I’m so glad you like them!

[@lucianaetrigan]

Lindas ilustrações!

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

[@Chance.Dillon]

I talk about Dayraven in my video tomorrow-and then later that evening I read twice what I did up to that point and well-let’s just say holy Hannah I’m hooked. I talk about it just pre..ehmmmm let’s just say elf encounter.. and I wish I read the like 6 more pages cause now I gotta wait till next week.. Anyways-the art is fantastic. I’m very excited for these editions

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@Chance.Dillon I’m very happy to hear the read is going well so far, Chance! Thank you for giving the story a shot, and I’m glad you’re liking this art for the special edition!

[@DebLynne]

I am loving the artwork and the narration! Can you tell us when to expect them out at Broken Binding?

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

@@DebLynne I should know the release date pretty soon, I think. All the parts (including the cover!), are now ready, so it’s a matter of putting it all together and producing the books. As soon as The Broken Binding tells me, I’ll be shouting about it, probably when I reveal the cover. Thank you so much for your support! 😊
