The last interior illustration in this project is a happy ending illustration. We’ve got the sun setting over a fictionalized version of the author’s house. She and her husband are working in the yard. She’s waving at Rocky and Sylvia up in a tree overlooking everything. Everything is as it should be. A happy ending.
The second illustration for chapter 7. Supposedly this also really happened.
This is an illustration of a fight involving a Doberman and a stray cat which, among other things, clung to the dog’s head before attacking him. This is the only illustration in the book that doesn’t directly involve Rocky the squirrel.
This is Chapter 6. Sylvia was attacked by a big red squirrel when she was off on her own. Rocky is coming to help as fast as he can.
Here’s a girl with a glowing (probably magic) sword fighting some sort of tentacle monster.
It maybe needs some magic sparkles or swirls, but I’m happy with it for now. I may add a few more magic effects later. I dunno. I’ll think about it.
