I promised I'd do some art posting, so here's some of the work I've been doing for Inktober. I realize Inktober is for doing quick pieces to work on your inking skills, but I've been using it to get used to all my new digital art software, as well as to get back into the habit of drawing every day. Some of the pieces are also focused on world-building for Muna. But first some regular pieces.

I don't know why it insists on making them so small, but I likely have a setting wrong.

I'm really pleased with how this one came out, considering it was a quick piece. He's just so happy!

Went with a more moody, atmospheric thing for "ash."

Some world building images now.

Muna has a creature popularly know as a "walleh" and seeing one can be a fortunate event. Children are more likely to encounter them. They keep to the woods and uninhabited places for the most part.

But sometimes the walleh has a frightening appearance, often a sign or warning of tragedy. In this aspect they have also been known to drive poachers or arsonists away from their forests.

I'm currently working on another Muna story, "The Cat's Inheritance," and will link it when it's posted!
