Early sketch for a middle grade sci-fi story. This is a crop of the larger illustration, focusing on the main character here. The final illustration is in-progress.
Thanks, Kim! The "steed" is controlled by the saddle (note area under the saddle handle) and by a type of simple neural UI worn by its rider. Not so much mind control as input device. The final color version should hopefully make that more obvious. Or make a prospective reader curious enough to check out the story. ;)
Really nice, Tanja...lots of personality. Are they connected mentally because I'm not seeing any reins?? Love the design of the saddle.
