I added a very quick layer of tone to this old drawing. If the light was emanating solely from the crystal then everyone would actually be backlit and it would look terrible, so I imagine someone used a flash or reflector.

IMPERIUM LUPI
A decade has passed since the last Howler War and the City of Lupa stands peaceful again under the choking clouds of the Ashfall. The wild hyenas have been conquered, the little beasts remain subdued, and the wolf packs preserve their uneasy oligarchy thanks to the noxious power of imperium. However, new threats fester within the Lupan Wall. There are those who would overturn the rule of the Den Fathers, if not the dominion of wolfkind altogether, by persuasion, murder, even genocide, if that’s what it takes.
Imperium Lupi is a gritty, steampunk, fantasy adventure packed with intrigue and flexible morals. The true monsters are not the giant insects that stalk the wild world of Erde, but the beasts who don the mask of civility to cover their crooked convictions.
For the Republic Lupi!

I honestly got a bit emotional with the final part of Noss' arc (won't spoil for any who have not read the book). I do wish for more full body pieces of Arjana/alternative Matriarchs, I appreciated the work of incorporating normal Earth hyena pack structure into the novel hyena culture, though there weren't many moments for female characters to really be involved outside of dialogue/Arjana's sections.
I'm glad to have jerked a tear.
I only draw characters that exist and are released, so Arjana is it for now - however, perhaps now I can draw cloth with some modicum of skill I can tackle her full body. It's a good idea. i will try and remember it for after Christmas. This pic is certainly showing its age.
Lupi was already 724 pages long and as much as I'd have loved to fit in more female hyenas, I ran out of space for them and so many things; but that's why god invented sequels, which may or may not appear someday....
