Hello fellow Longtails, today we have a new fanart from Breathly. This just so happens to also be the very first fanart of Denya. As I mentioned before, Denya reads recipes for her different concoctions from her big book. She also keeps all her recent discoveries there as well. Part alchemist, part fighter, the Concoctors of the Longtails world rely heavily on intelligence and a search for answers in the perfecting of their abilities.
The version of this that will appear in the book will be much more cleaned up, but I wanted to give everyone a glimpse of the map that I use when crafting the story and the path that the characters will take.
Next up is a headshot done by Madison Gilbert, who can be found at MoonsplashDrawz. This piece is so friggin’ cute. I love that his hat is slipping off his head and the red eye really makes him look devious in this one. Well done Madison!
This piece of Fanart this week comes from the talented Maja Klonowska who can be found at MayaWolf on Fur Affinity. This picture is really cool to me, for reasons that have nothing to do with the artwork itself. One of my favorite things about working on a new book is that it somehow manages to force me to meet all kinds of new people. Longtails has had the great effect of introducing me to the Furry community. And while not a Furry myself, I have to say that this community has been nothing but welcoming and wonderful so far! That’s what this piece really represents to me because it is certainly done in a very Furry style. Besides all that, Arthur loves him some rest and relaxation. He’s more of the hardly working type than the working hard type. Thank you Maja!!!
Del is not a hero. Ask anyone and they’ll tell you the same. Del has spent his entire life trying to stay out of trouble. He prefers reading and spending his days out of harms way. When an attack on a Longtails squad happens right outside his house, he can’t help but intervene and at least warn them of the coming danger. This one act of bravery starts Del down a path to learning of a secret locked deep inside him, as well as joining the Longtails in their quest to better lives across the Mouselands. It just goes to show that if one is going to commit to a life of not taking action, they shouldn’t let ANYTHING deter them from it.
