Chapter 3 Cover Progress (Patreon)

Some progress shots of the cover for the next chapter! I was stuck on what I wanted to do for the cover this time but wound up feeling excited about drawing some plants.

I've been doing a lot of visual research about the Smokies for this project already and really got bit by the looking-at-trails bug recently so it was a lot of fun to put together a reference board for this one. I'm planning to experiment a little with a color style I haven't used much but remember being fun, and I think it'll go well with the attempt at more realistic lineart.
