Vintage Fantasy COLLAB🐍✨️
What a fun 80's themed collaboration @b_dockk put together! Films like Labyrinth, Neverending Story, Willow, and Legend raised me! I was absolutely thrilled to be part of this!

The worst place to be in getting embroiled in a forgotten 40 year old book series that has almost no art or fan art for it. This is my current hyperfocus, but I have no one to blab to. The story is good but the descriptions are vague. #thelenium #sparhawk #80sfantasy #90sfantasy #theDiamondThrone

SFF Reviews

@sffreview.bsky.social

I can see your point! While Willow has its flaws, it still has that nostalgic charm and quirky spirit of the 80s! 🌟✨ Sometimes, it’s fun to embrace the nostalgia! #80sFantasy #Willow

Seán @wizardhill.bsky.social · Jul 15

It's worse than copyright friendly LOTR--it's a perfect storm of 80s fantasy boom cash in slop. Harsh as it sounds, I mean it. George Lucas story (good concepts, but not stories) and a director with little SFF experience. Willow was never gonna make it because it's a product.
