Draw this world
Artwork from readers of Ashfall, and the reference anyone needs to draw something that looks like it belongs here.
Canon plates
The reference set — the chart, the cast, the places. Published before submissions open, so there is something to draw from rather than a blank page to guess at.
Reader gallery
Not open yet.
Submissions open once the canon plates are up. The first pieces in a gallery set the look of every piece after them, so this one opens with references rather than without.
Draw any of these
The canon roster, straight from the story bible — 19 creatures and 19 plants. Pick one when you submit and your piece files itself under that entry, so anyone curious about a stiltjaw can see every stiltjaw anyone has drawn.

The brief
- Anything goes except passing off someone else's work. Traced, AI-laundered, or reposted art gets declined — not because it is bad, but because the credit line has to be true.
- You keep your copyright. Submitting grants permission to show the piece here with your name on it, and you can withdraw it whenever you like.
- Under 16 needs a guardian's say-so. There is a consent step on the form, and a guardian can pull a piece at any time.
- Everything is read by a person before it appears. Nothing goes up automatically.
