This is probably my second-favorite piece that I did for Watts Martin's stories. The cover of the issue of YARF! that contained the first episode of 'The Lighthouse'. Revar Desmara after a wing-shredding wreck on the reef, and John the lighthouse keeper discovering her.
The moonlight-highlighted clouds and all the fiddling about with waves and foam (streaks ended up a bit too regular) and different attempts to put highlights on the wet rocks were a female canid, I tell you. But I really liked how it all came together.
The lighthouse...Well. Someone is bound to recognize it. There was a hotbed of furry activity in that city after I left in the late eighties. Don't imagine that has changed.
Inks, inks, inks, powdered graphite dissolved into alcohol then brushed on and brushed around, white pencil, white marker, white gouache, black gouache, and five gallons of sweat equity.

Revar's pose works really well here, portraying the pain of the wounds. The placement of her right leg looks a little forced, but otherwise it's very effective. I really like the shading on these images too.
Watt's Martin's Revar stories were some of the first furry stories I read online back in '92 or so, and I remember getting copies of Yarf with your art and his text in them too. This is a nice blast from the past.

Well I couldn't, no...But I've seen some scary pencil artists who can! But these are the fellows who can take a chisel-tip 4B and lay out parallel lines so perfectly that there's no darker areas of overlap, just as smooth a gradation as they want.
Man, I envy those people. XD
