“Long Live the Pumpkin Queen!”
I redrew the cover of Sally’s book in color and I can’t believe how this turned out! This is one of the best Sally artworks I have ever made! (The book is filled with mixed emotions, you should read it if you haven’t already!) There are two different versions of the cover, the one with bits of color here and there and the exclusive black and white one which is the one I have here at home right now.

As you may have heard, we're hard at work preparing for the crowdfunding launch of Little Wolves, a folk-tale TTRPG about shapeshifter werewolves in The Enchanted Forest.
With the project launching on May 14th, our focus has been on creating a playable free demo and getting some awesome art done.
And speaking of that awesome art, here's a work-in-progress peek at a piece depicting all four of the fae queens by the wonderful Grendel Menz!
The Queens & Courts of The Forest
A WIP piece of art by @grendel-menz depicting the four queens.
The Enchanted Forest is home to the fae courts, with 4 of them being the focus in Little Wolves. Lead by their communities and named for their queens, the courts of the Witch, Pumpkin, Troll and Mermaid each tend to The Forest in their own way, and have found harmony among each other and their respective elements of Wind, Fire, Earth and Water.
Each character has ties to one of these courts that affect the elements they’re strong and weak in, and each court and element grants a different kind of Mark when you perform favors or overcome Elemental Trials.
Grendel’s depictions of the 4 queens are phenomenal, and soon enough we’ll be telling you more about each of the individual courts, their queens, and the many denizens you’ll meet on your adventures!
For now, we'll leave you with a look at two of the work-in-progress designs of the four queens themselves! If we hit our "more art" stretch goal, Grendel will be doing full-page pieces of each queen to be paired with their bio and information about their court!
Selene the Witch Queen and Nayeli the Mermaid Queen.
That's all about the Queens and Courts for now~
In the coming weeks, we'll be talking more about the courts, the elements, and every other aspect of Little Wolves leading up to the crowdfunding launch on May 14th. Stay tuned, and follow the project for more!
Want to see Little Wolves in action?
Nevyn will be running a session of Little Wolves on the Plus One EXP Twitch channel tomorrow night, February 28th, starting at 7pm central! Be there, and be ready to howl~

30 gifts for 30 days of November - Day 29
This is the twenty ninth of thirty Better Than a Poke in the Eye recommended gifts for the book lover in your life, even if that book lover is YOU!
Today’s recommendation is: Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw .
Rachel fell in love with Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and recommended a novelisation of it earlier in this list. Long Live the Pumpkin Queen is a sequel book continuing the story and Rachel is hoping it appears in her stocking this christmas.
Jack and Sally are truly meant to be... or are they? Newly crowned, Sally is thrown into the role of Queen of Halloween Town. Cast into the spotlight and tasked with royal duties, Sally can't help but wonder if all she's done is swap her captivity under Dr. Finkelstein for a new cage.
When Sally and Zero accidentally uncover a long-hidden doorway to an ancient realm called Dream Town, she unknowingly sets a chain of sinister events in motion, putting herself, and the future of Halloween Town, in jeopardy. Can Sally discover how to be true to herself and save Halloween Town, or will her future turn into her worst nightmare?
