Each Overtwixt novel includes extensive artwork: pages of maps, around 40 sketches within the narrative itself, and a 35+ page illustrated reference book appendix that is expanded and modified with each new book. Early stories in the series were illustrated by [[Jesse Lewis]], transitioning to artist [[Charlotte Bauman]] partway through the ancient history Golden Age trilogy. Today, Akers and Bauman are actively working on the next novel in the modern-day era, ''[[Overtwixt 3: The Kaiserlands]]''. Overtwixt's many elaborate maps are drawn by the author, who also provides limited additional illustrations. | |||
