Firstly, I have to apologise for a huge gap between posts - I hope you guys don't mind too much! I haven't been feeling super inspired lately, but I'm trying to push through that now and create some new work. I've also been sending some submissions to a few independent magazines so I really hope that I get some good news from them. Onto the illustration, this is inspired by one of the characters from Robin Hobb's 'Assassin's Apprentice' trilogy which I finished a little while ago, and I loved everything about it. If you are a fan of fantasy books, then I would definitely recommend them. The protagonist has this amazing wolf companion who he can share thoughts with, and he travels around with him on various adventures - must be awesome to have such a loyal friend!
I really love making my illustrations colourful lately too, and it's been fun to practice drawing animals because it's something I haven't really done in the past.
I was also thinking that I might host a little giveaway soon, to win a custom illustration of anything you want! Would anyone be interested in that? I'd be happy for all of you to enter, even if I've already illustrated you in the past!
I hope you're all having a good week, and as always, I'm so grateful for all of your comments and feedback.

I love your style with this...and the colour, such a lovely approach! Nighteyes is really dear to me too; I absolutely love Hobb's books! I haven't read the Liveship trilogy, but decided to jump to the rest of Fitz' story in the Tawney Man trilogy - if you haven't read it I highly recommend it :) Thank-you for the follow on Twitter, I'm glad I found your page! :)

Oh, that's so cool! I hardly ever find anyone who has read the books but they are some of my absolute favourites. I've just got onto 'The Golden Fool' recently and I'm enjoying it but I'll be sad when the trilogy comes to an end! Thanks for following :) x
