A Picture for the Ghost Stories Challenge!

Hi, everybody!

I saw that the deadline had been extended ....(Thanks! That was so kind :-D). But I also thought I'd better hurry up and try to get my drawing done. So, so, so.........

As with my last challenge drawing, this is a rough sketch. It's an illustration for "Stone Fox: A Ghost Story," which is my first ever fanfic. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that it's a picture that I imagined, and that inspired me to to write the story.

(I'd like to do it in color, but I probably won't have time)

BTW, just in case you're wondering. I don't specify who the old man actually is -- he looks quite a bit like Gen's grandfather (as I now imagine him, anyway -- thanks, freenarnian!) But I actually conceived of him as a more remote ancestor -- someone who was an architect, as well as a thief. As I see it, his most beautiful creation is in the country of Attolia, and Sophos visits it in his dreams. 

All of which is backstory -- but I didn't want to emulate our favorite author, and say "I'm not telling," because then people might remark, "What's with this 'grandfather' stuff? He's not her grandfather!" Which would make me feel really silly (LOL).

But anyway.....
( Enjoy! )
