An illustration for a short story that stems off of the Ventus Project.

Roman (hiding in the log), at the peak of the story, is forced to go on the run with the other men in his platoon, after their commanding officer is accused of insubordination, conspiracy against higher powers, and just generally being a traitor, and executed. The soldiers are hunted down by general cavalry officers and picked off one by one. Roman, who thinks on his feet, finds several ways to elude the officers' mastiffs until he can make a getaway.

It looks a little funky in the middle because I didn't give myself enough room on the paper, so this is two separate drawings combined. I intend to fix it up a bit later.

Mechanical pencil on...weird paper. I'm not sure what it is. Sketchbook.
