Valerin decides to follow the wisp, for better or worse.

This is the new Page04. This puts me at 20 new Rats images posted here, and I've got 3-4 more nearing completion that should be up later this week.

The model is ~catchan and the photographer is *Viator-Defessus They make this work much more fun!

Very lovely!
What's so weird is I used to have a haircut like hers...it's like you knew! (because I know my hair didn't look like this in the photos lol)

Thank you! It's true that I'm psycho.

Er, "psychic"! I mean "psychic."

I know her expression is supposed to indicate she's straining to see through the darkness, but I just can't help thinking it also looks like she sees something weird.

Valerin: "What the-? When did Albert take up Jazzercising?"

That Albert is a Jazzercising Fiend! Actually, this illustration and the two that follow (in order, not necessarily the next two I complete and post here) are a section I'm adding to pull "Rats" into the whole of the storyline a bit better. Valerin sees a Runemote that guides her from the gremlin hole in the wall to where the gremlins have lain a trap, and the action starts. On this one, she's just seeing the Runemote.

Ah, a bit of retconning. I take you hadn't thought of the Runemotes yet when you illustrated the original batch of "Rats in the Cellar" images.

Nope, I hadn't. They didn't figure in until I was partway done with Fair Harvest (after Jervil appeared with Valerin and the gremlins). When I redo those images, I'll probably toss a few Runemotes in as well.

I've done that a few times in writing, too. You come up with a good idea to use and introduce it well into the story. Then you spend the rest of the writing process kicking yourself for not having thought of it earlier.

Wow! Loving how 'squinty' Valerin's looking here. Very atmospheric and... well you know the drill by now.

I do, but it's nice to hear anyway. Thanks!

Every aspect of this drawing by itself is, dare I say, perfect, but aren't her eyes normally a little bigger?

faile35 In reply to Edmere [2012-11-29 13:58:38 +0000 UTC]

They are indeed. She's squinting to see in the dark.

Oh, and also, been meaning to mention this, hopefully now we can get to the real nudity!

There are plenty of nipples in some of the previous re-dos. If you're looking for crotch-shots, those art pretty rare in the story in general.

Edmere In reply to Visitant [2012-11-29 22:50:44 +0000 UTC]

Course they're rare, otherwise I wouldn't be looking forward to them! Jeff truly understands the meaning of "less is more".
