Haven’t read the fic yet. But saw the post on twitter and your artwork immediately drew my attention.

It’s really well done.

Thank you so much! It was a lovely story to do the art for, so I def recommend it!

Stunning art! Beautiful in and of itself, but also really making me want to start reading the story ASAP!

Thank you so much, best kind of comment for an artist to hear! ❤️

Wowzers!

Such gorgeous art! I love your painting style (watercolor? marker?) - the trees, the snow, all so light and delicately done! And your animals, wow. So realistic. I can almost hear your chickens clucking! And Mr. Fox, oh, fantastic Mr. Fox. ❤️🦊 He is just STUNNING.

Beautiful, beautiful art. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

Thank you! The sketches are in pencil, all the rest is digital. But I was aiming for a hand-drawn/marker feel, so I’m very glad to hear it works. I like drawing animals, so I use every opportunity I get to squeeze them in 😉

Ahhhhh I love these all to bits! There's a real Japanese woodcut feel to the main pictures, especially the title piece, and I love the aerial views. Mr Fox and the chickens are so delightful. Jared is a skillful draughtsman, who'd have thought? 😊💜💕

PS, I've worked with merenwen before, she's such a lovely partner!

[dun]

Thanks ❤️ Yes, she is so encouraging! I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to draw snow which is why I chose the comic/simplified look. A bit of a heatwave surprisingly helped me get in a wintery mood lol. - Jared, however, needs to work on ‘likeness’ a lot more ;P

[amberdreams]

Hmm I don't know about your Jared, I thought it was pretty clear who they both were!

Love your artwork! ❤️
