Animated illustration of Avi Silver, author of Two Dark Moons, and Sienna Tristen, author of The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming.

“Originally done for a Media Studio: Hybrid class, where the assignment was to animate an illustration of an author of your choice. The moon phases correspond to the bilunar cycle in their shared speculative universe, and the environment is a synthesis of the imagery on the covers of each author's novels.”
