So i thought i'd give a bit of a preview into the development of the graphic novel i'm working on...These are the main characters. Emma,a fox anthropologist/doctor at a colonial fort town, and Ash a wolf shaman exiled from his people and enslaved by a coyote tribe.
It's sort of steam-punk, colonial, wild west, but not the past, not on Earth...
When they were younger they became secret lovers, which was utterly taboo with Emma's society- Foxes are People every other species are unclean animals. Things did not work out, went sour, and Ash went back to the coyote tribe. When the story opens they haven't seen each for seven years. Ash has a foster daughter, an abandoned lynx, who is deathly ill, the whole coyote tribe is falling ill - so,swallowing his own misery, he comes to see Emma again ...
This is them when they were younger, before they became lovers...
This is also how i hope to do much of the art - basic open line work filled in with my own digital pattens and digital cross-hatching. Leaving art open for possible future colour version.

i have done so many finely cross-hatched pieces in my life...they take forever to finish. Doing a 150 - 200 page or so graphic novel...i wanted to find a faster way to do it, so i've scanned numerous of my cross-hatchings, reworked the edges to make them seamless repeating patterns, and now i can paint them in as if they were a color. Usually i take one set of shading lines and do a few levels, changing the angle of the lines each time. In that sense it isn't automated, it's like carefully building up areas of grey tone. And there will lots of manual cross-hatching in the novel's pages as well - trying to find shortcuts that do not compromise the art.
