story sketch: without fail [update: 07-27-2011]

[meeks]

This is a sketch of warsailor Brelig's encounter with a deathfin sea monster, from Without Fail, a new Torn World story by ysabetwordsmith:

Brelig swiped his sickle toward the bleeding eyelid again -- and the deathfin grabbed him by that arm, lifting him high above the ship. The sudden shock of pain frayed his concentration. Brelig swung in the air, blood raining everywhere. Then he pulled himself upward to swing the axe into the deathfin's eye.

Yes, I think there are two new commenters. Yay!

The story is already approved, so if you get the sketch updated and submitted, there may be time to post both together this month as part of the sea monster fest. That should get you some extra eyeballs too.

That would be good...I'll try to get it in this weekend :)

Okay, great. If you let ellenmillion know what you have planned for this piece, she can take that into consideration in scheduling the story (and perhaps the nonfiction article about deathfins).
