Fantasy Pin-up Calendar for 2013

Amazing Calendar (and for charity!)

Now, I’m sure the images will sway you to buy the calendar. Besides that, you’ll also be happy to know that your purchase is going to help the great Worldbuilders charity!

I’ve cropped a bunch of the images in the charming “Ratclivian Pinterest Crop” (300×1200) and put them up on Pinterest for you to re-share as well there.

Information about the calendar from the Publisher

January: Art Nouveau-inspiration for Peter S. Beagle’s Unicorn in her human form dancing with her friends.

February: Ray Bradbury knew better than the rest of us the extent to which good ideas catch fire.

March: Badass mechanic Mercy Thompson has beauty, brains, and a whole lot of muscle. This calendar page, inspired by all the real garage calendars of the past, set the standard for the rest of the calendar.

April: Soulgazing Molly sees her potential selves, courtesy of Wizard P.I. Harry Dresden and King Fu mastermind Jim Butcher.

May: Glamorous and heroic international courtesan Phèdre nó Delaunay.

June: Media is the message. We are the Media. And she is us. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

July: The vampire queen invites you to the ball. Better get one last dance in before heads start flying!

August: Dragon queen Malta basking in the spotlight of her adoring crowd.

September: Oree Shoth immersed in total artistic focus. In the words of N.K. Jemisin “I can’t think of anything sexier than a woman who knows and loves herself.”

October: Quote from GRRM: “Who says that Cersei Lannister is a cold, calculating, uncaring sort of queen? Far from it. Her Grace loves the simple folk, and to prove it, here’s a swell new picture of her getting all nekkid just to help them buy some cows, sheeps, and goats…” Just pay no mind to that little boy’s shadow in the window…

November: It has long been said that clothes make the man. In the Unseen University, underclothes may be still more important.

December: A wise man fears… but at times like this with Felurian gleaming in the twilight water, who wants to be wise?
