Description I actually picked up a pencil! I needed to get back into sketching so I dusted off my old 3D Illustration sketchbook (virtually untouched from school) and sat down on a bench at the Boise Basque Food Festival and between people watching and life drawing I drew nearly every single Skytown Character from my novel and short stories as well as my friend /Mackenzie’s (officially canon as of book two) characters.Β

Looking at this again, I can see the Tracy J. Butler influence.
I find that your balance between cartoony and realistic is on par with hers.

That's sweet, though I think the only similarities we have are the use of sepia tones most of the time. THough he is a great inspiration for backgrounds, poses and expressions

Nah the line there is his chin-patch. Jared has a brown patch of fur on his chin, under his brows and all dark his front, the rest of him is dark charcoal. I just didn't shade it very well

Sure' gonna need lotsa character introduction and spotlights...

Personally I'm more into havin' less character, but with more three-dimentional personalities.

But, let's see how you'll challenge yourself with dozens of 'em.

Multiple characters can be challenging, but they are not all constantly present, that would be a headache. Half are also from alternate short stories, unused in the first novel, or pre-faces to book two. Just because there are lots of characters does not mean they are flat and static and just there for mass effect.Β

This is really nice! You know, since you like anthropomorphic animals and westerns, I've been wondering- do you like Rango?
