New artwork for Kendra Kandlestar 5: In the belly of the beast

Here’s an illustration of an important sequence in Kendra Kandlestar 5. At one time, I had conceived of this scene as opening the book, but it kept getting pushed back. Now it doesn’t occur until Chapter 7!

Once I figured out when I wanted to happen, I did a rough sketch. You can see that I was already thinking about how it would work with the text.

Here’s the final illustration . . . but you still might be able to determine from this picture just exactly where Kendra is! (That’s okay; you’ll know soon enough!)
