I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Hafsah on these kits! We Hunt The Flame was one of the gems of 2019 that still shines bright in my collective memory. It was a fresh take on the genre of fantasy, stemmed deep in Arabic culture and inspiration that it immediately captured my attention before its release. Coupled with the stellar narrator casting for the audio book, I was completely enthralled with its epic journey, rich world building and colorful cast of characters!
When I first presented my ideas to Hafsah for these kit series, they were solely focused on the creatures from the story telling: the Ifrits, the Dandan, and the Lion of the Night. Up until now, I largely had avoided doing characters for kits as I didn’t want to require the builders to have to draw facial details. With a bit of experimenting, I was able to find a method to quickly reproduce the character details on a massive scale – and I’m so thrilled with how the final designs turned out and love that you all can now build your favorite characters!
I hope everyone has fun building them as I did designing them. Be sure to check out We Hunt The Flame, which is available now, and the duology’s upcoming sequel We Free The Stars, due to release in July 2020!
