So...Here it is. The cover scan for one of my "titles". Generally, I create story outlines before drawing, but this one was special.


Sadly, the only scanner I have access to at the moment does legal size, so the sides were cut off. I will try to get a proper scan in the near future. The image itself is pencil, with minor inking. Once I get a proper scan, I plan on trying to add some finishing to it.

Inspired by a friend, the title is a psudo-historic adventure tale taking place at the end of the 16th century. The title would begin around 1580, and follow a dashing and charismatic sea-captain around the world. Accompanied by an inquisititve (and perhaps too smart for his own good) ferret, and her crew, Mita & Illert find themselves caught up in civil wars of Europe, jungle explorations in Brazil, and countless other adventures.

Synopsis: Anna Marita, and her faithful companion Illert get in and out of trouble in their search for the important things in life. This includes riches, niceties, but mostly…simply having fun.

"She stood tall, and proud upon the deck. A tri-corner hat tipped forward in a roguish angle above her brow. Her eyes were bright despite the shade, and an impish grin bespoke of unimaginable intentions. The sea air swept gently across the bow, blowing her auburn hair softly upon the breeze. The day was perfect. She was master of the deck, and queen of all she surveyed."
