The little patch down there on the road is Nicolas on the wagon.

The guard in front of the gate is clearly pampered and relaxed. But there are also archers in the towers, for in case someone doesn't take him seriously.

Still needs work. But for now, here it is.

Nicolas cases the castle as he works.

I reworked some of the drawing, and I'm still not happy with how Nico looks in the 5th panel.

I am, however, pleased with how I fixed the 6th panel, compared to the first try.

I wasn't sure if the texturing looked good, so I went without it on this page. What do you think, better with or without?

For ease of commenting, I'm also posting Nicolas on FurAffinity.

Val Tries Some Mint

Brush marker on paper, slightly cleaned up in GIMP.

Val discovers that she dislikes mint. If Val finds some yummy beetles, will Nicolas try them?

Val interrupts Nico with a grunt, then a whine of pain.

Nico panics even before he knows what's going on.

Both late and early?

I had this finished months ago. Having it finished finally pushed me into catching the story up to this point.

She's so sweet. :love:

The { } shows what Val is thinking.

If you have ever played with a pack of puppies, you know what Nicolas is experiencing.

And I assume if you've ever been a mother you'll relate to how Val feels. :)

This is somewhat cropped on the left. Not sure if that improves it or not.
Vaguely feline face in a basalt cliff face. Is it a petroglyph? A stone spirit peeking out? A goddess?

Another view of Shadowbreath. Her overall shape is just what I was trying for, but many of the details went wrong. Still, not bad. Clay can be funny stuff to work with.

All that gear is useful for ascending and descending ropes with a minimum of effort.
