At Day's End (Patreon)

The patron sketch for.. September??  Indeed, very late.  The image was caught at the end of the sketch stage by the chaos of the last four months, and I cannot thank Reya's creator enough for being patient while I tried to put out all the fires going on in my life.

I always love drawing wolves.  They're what I started drawing way back in the 90's and I still like exploring different cultures of the woof-variety.  Reya, as I understand it, grew up with human parents, and runs a bath-house in a more desert-like area these days.  At day's end, she gets to have a soak in one of the hot-tubs, have some wine, some cheese, and just let the sound of nightfall and breezes in palms drift in through the windows.

Wolves are going to be a bit of a theme for the next image as well.  I guess I'm on a bit of a bark-kick lately.  Though there is a certain equine who'd really like her story to get under way as well.

Things seem to have settled down a bit for now.  No guarantees what the next few months might bring, but at least for now things are quiet and I can just noodle around with art again.
