In October a fan called Amity Lee decided to do INKTOBER, where artists set themselves a challenge of producing a certain amount of work over the course of the month, inspired by a set of "prompt" words. Amity Lee drew a piece EVERY SINGLE DAY of the month, based on my Saga Of Larten Crepsley series. I've already posted eleven drawings. Here are the next four.

In the first, a shivery Larten takes in the view from Vampire Mountain.

In the second, Larten gives a piggy-back to a girl called Malora, who thought she was destined to become the first great love of his life...

...but destiny, alas, had other plans, as we can see in the third.

In the fourth drawing, during one of the lowest moments of his life, Larten wound up as a guardian to a baby -- and the reveal of the baby's name was one of my favourite moments of the entire series!! :-)
