Hello all - I've made it back safe & sound from the holiday season, without too many scratches (or much glitter) to show for it....hope you have had a good few weeks yourselves!The next chapter will be posted shortly, but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you a behind the scenes peek at the updated cover graphic, since I've managed to finally add a proper drawing of Autumnus to it. This drawing was hand drawn digitally, unlike much of the illustrations you've seen with this story so far; those are mostly all either entirely drawn on paper or sketched with pencil/ink on paper and colored digitally.

Here are a couple of close up snapshots mid-process and the final composition:

Actually...I SAY final, but I noticed I've treated the lighting differently on Tine & Autumnus' faces, so I might add more shadows to his, but right now I'm out of spoons, as they say. Thoughts? What do you think?

See you soon - thanks for sticking with Tine & Autumnus for their journey! +kat
