The Madness begins

Very first rough image for a short story I'm doing for E-Ville Press anthology Afterworks 2, based on the Celtic folk tale "Conomor and Tryphine". I'm going to attempt double duty with this project while wrapping up the Rose and Isabel book. Conomor and Tryphine will be a full color story...and I'm looking forward to it. More to come in the next few weeks.

Hey Man looksk great- but just a little history geekout for you- the Celts didn't have castles like that- Not that a fairy tale has to be set in any kind of actuall time period- What castles the Celts had if any were mott and Bailey types- Hill forts surrounded by earthen ramparts and huge wood walls with maybe one keep or a lodge- kinda like the vikings but not- Just a side note not to concern yourself with- as long as theres lots of blood and guts its cool. heh heh

Mandrews out
