Keenan Taylor's Tales of Kaimere
I'm Keenan Taylor, a scientific illustrator and fantasy author. This channel will mostly be centered around Kaimere, the setting of my literary work, but I will also be making videos about worldbuilding, how to self-publish books, life as an artist and illustrator, and whatever subjects spark inspiration.

For those who wish to contribute further to the art budget of the Fable of Fai Zhemi, or who have already done so: I'm putting together credits now. I've got how some folks would like to be referred in the episodes based on knowing them or listed in memos. If you do have a preference, please let me know! If you don't let me know or don't much care, I'll defer first to usernames when available and first names listed on PayPal or Venmo when I don't have a username. If I miss your name in the first chapter or get it wrong please don't hesitate to reach out so I can fix it in future chapters. I think I've got all my bases covered, double checking now, but I've misspelled/misused a couple names in the past and obviously don't want to do so again.
I can't wait to share this fable with you. Cheers, folks!

I am sorry to report I have to postpone the Fable of Fai Zhemi by a week. The series will arrive in the planned four weekly chapters starting the 9th instead of the 2nd. I'm almost done with the first chapter, but I'd have to cut corners to get the others to the original schedule, and I'd rather it be as written. The reason is the sudden and unexpected loss of our cat Hemingway last week. Days I needed to finish the art had to be spent in grief and support. I'm back at my desk and excited to share this fable with you all, and know this extra week is all I need to offer a proud delivery. I hope you enjoy it. This has been an absolute delight to work on and I can't wait to share it with all of you. Thank you all so much for your support of this story. Be kind with yourselves and one another. Cherish your little ones. Give them an extra treat today.
Cheers, folks🎄

The notorious Ceratopotamus!
Sorry folks, I updated the file in my folder and forgot to update it in the project before saving and uploading the video. Now the project is on my external hard drive. I can make a fixed version in a bit but I need the space on both my computer and in my mind for the fable.

My great thanks to Dom and Justin at Wildlife Wire for this author interview! Was great to chat about the origins of Kaimere, my creature design process, and aspects of my writing. Check it out!

Hi folks!
The next big episode is entelodonts! My sponsors have said to open this one to get some more art! Numerous wild clades, and domesticated breeds. Higher budget means more hell pigs! If interested in contributing funds for more entelodont art, please send with the memo: 🐗
There's also going to be prey and other competing predators in their local environments of Kairul, so if you'd like to sponsor those instead, just let me know!

Head's up: on Saturday I'll be doing another Q&A livestream! This will be as a means to say thanks for my YouTube community reaching 15k! Superchats and PayPal or Venmo donations welcome as ever, but I plan to answer all questions to the best of my ability regardless of funding. Cheers!
