Sylvester Thornapple. While I don’t necessarily play favorites with my cast, I must confess to enjoying any scene in which Old Sylvie makes an appearance. He’s promised not to lie to Varti, but does that make him entirely trustworthy? I had series illustrator Mart Lett include Vester’s clockwork cat in his portrait. Mind your pockets when Guinevere is around.

I commission art like this in order to send mail to my patrons. (And to adorn my print editions.) Lots more art peeks and behind-the-scenes gossip to be found on my Patreon account. Go on over and have a look around the Immortal Holmes collection. Merry the day!
