Synchronicity is a mysterious force that I've felt at play from time to time. Related events seems to happen in harmony with each other out of sheer coincidence.

During the late winter cold last February, I spotted this creature among brush marks on my drawing table. At the time, I painted this sort of alien herdbeast trudging through the snow, but when I happened up it later, the rest of the scene—including Elric!—popped into my head.

As fate would have it, I saved the completed piece for later in the year when the wintry scene would feel more appropriate—and then just this morning I learned there's a new Elric book out! WTH?!?

I wonder if there are any wintry scenes in the story…?!
