There may be minor spoilers for some parts of the story during Star Shard Week.
Welcome to the final day of Star Shard Week!
Don't forget to check out The Star Shard author Frederic S. Durbin's final Star Shard Week post over on his blog.
Thank you for joining us during this week of reflection upon the world of "The Star Shard." From late 2007 through early 2009 I completed 39 paintings for "The Star Shard." It was the most expansive project I had worked on before I wrote and illustrated The Explorer's Guide to Drawing Fantasy Creatures. I'm honored to have played a part in the telling of Cymbril's story.
To bring Star Shard Week to a close, I'd like to share some of my favorite paintings from "The Star Shard" not yet featured on the blog.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures with the interesting commentary! I thoroughly enjoyed this week of posts, especially since I read the Cricket version of The Star Shard some time back and have just finished the novel. I love your paintings of the Urrmsh! They look gentle yet powerful, just as I would imagine them.
Thanks for writing, Dorothy. I'm glad you enjoyed the posts!
