Here is the first main scene-setter of the story, the vantage overlooking the border to the lands where the buune must venture deep! This was a lot of fun to draw, experimenting with little new tricks; one of the big challenges and goals with a lot of the artwork for something like a 'quest' is pushing yourself for speed and efficacy -- because if it ends up taking an inordinate amount of time for each image, things can very quickly get overwhelming for consistently providing visuals alongside timely story updates. I'm excited -- and feel that this whole endeavor will help to really push the growth of my art!
Here is the somewhat lengthier introduction to accompany this piece in Sojourn:
This past day's travel has, at long last, brought you to the very cusp of the existent PALL in this region -- and by surety of your compass and the direction of the Order, you are certain now that the KHANATE's territory lies ahead. As you reach the crest of a steep and craggy slope, you stand on high overlooking a sweeping valley below.
To the northeast, the dark shores of an unfamiliar sea loom beneath the gloom of the PALL, abutting a dense, primordial forest. Such wilderness lay sprawled before the base of a broad mountain range spanning the horizon ahead as far as you can see.
Flanked by the wilds, an open lowland stretches along the span, its center cut by a newer, broader road which overtakes your own faded trail; its path disappears into the western wilds, leaving the way to the lands of your people long-since disused and forgotten.
Most prominently, you can see a broad, fortified city nestled securely upon the only observable breach in the mountains yonder; a vast gate able to host the tread of armies stands at the center of towering battlements, a formidable bulwark to the lands of the late GREAT KHAN.
Even from such a distance, it is clear to you that much is awry in the once-grand site: smoke trails skyward from several places beyond its high walls, while a multitude of tents brightly festooned in red and gold have been raised a short distance from the city, among the lowlands.
It is difficult to see precisely what lies among them -- faintly, you can make out a few disparate figures moving among the encampment. If there was a grand battle here, it would certainly seem that you have missed it. The result of such is obvious, however: that grandiose gate lies open -- and with it, your surest, most direct path into the KHANATE itself.
If you'd like to follow along or even participate, the quest can be found here: https://questden.org/kusaba/quest/res/1010895.html Please Note: this is a NSFW / 18+ undertaking, so there are also instances where lewd imagery and writing are also present!
