Jensen is Jared's valet/slave. His Tending sen. In this society the word sen is used for an enslaved one and their names reflect that status. Drone sen wear pendants around their neck with a number because their Masse (master) wouldn't know their names anyway.

It was great to do the art for “The Tending sen” by tcs1121. My author was super-encouraging and gave me free hands to do anything I wanted. There was so much in the story I would have wanted to draw, but in the end, like always, didn’t have the time. As tcs reminded me, ‘this is supposed to be fun’ - and it was 😊

Notes on the art:
Digitally coloured (very ‘freehand’) pencil drawings and, as before, I wish I’d been able to go for a more cohesive look. I really have a lot to learn about character design, so I covered up my shortcomings with a lot of woolybeast sheep, which I *loved* doing.
