Continuing the Emma And Ash sketchbook.
Something like this will be the splash page for chapter one. Seven years after their failed brief secret romance Ash (an exiled wolf shaman enslaved to a coyote tribe) is forced to return to seek Emma's help ; many of the coyote village have become sick with a mystery illness, many dying - then Ash's adopted lynx daughter Teesha becomes ill. No matter how much it will hurt to see Emma again he can't let Teesha die if there is a chance Emma can save her with fox medicine.
Ash has been walking three days with with almost no sleep, so he's walking in the cold stream to try to ease the pain in his feet...and it's a long way to go...it will be night again before they arrive.This was the first time i tried to design the colony fort as a whole. The colony was founded because mining wealth in the dormant volcano - there is a trellis bridge for mine carts and miners leading to the mountain road. To the right on a rocky pinnacle there is the governor's palace and the wealthy mansions. In the middle a crater with the poor neighborhoods descending to a lake. To the left a docking tower for dirigibles. Outside the walls to left is a large encampment of native tents - coyotes, bobcats, lynx (no bears - they don't trust the foxes) - who trade produce and game in exchange for fox manufactured goods.
Yes, the perspective is a bit off - it's a sketchbook - i wuz working out ideas and styles. Speaking styles, some of the ink lines on this are so fine that i couldn't just raise the white level be remove the pencil lines...so i just did a lot of digital painting in white to selectively remove some pencil while leaving some in where it looked good.
This was a relatively recent addition to the sketchbook : started May 21 '17 and finished November 6 '18. i did most of the colour back in January and a bunch of revisions just now. And yes, it's a bit ruff and i'll prolly do a new version some months from now, but i wanted to have something to post along with the Emma picture as i have been rather inactive.

i wanted get in the story elements around the colony - native trading encampment outside the wall to the left, the main gate, that the streets of the early colony don't line-up with the modern colony and fortress walls, a deep mining pit that the modern colony has built around, the road up to the new mine in the volcano, a bit of uninhabited land outside the upper right fortress walls and the ocean, the dirigible dock, the walled hill where the Aristocrats/Wealthy/Officials live. All locations for scenes in the story. And the pile of arranged rocks - a native warning : Stay Away.
