Sanctuary Road: Going Home

An illustration from the urban fantasy novel I'm working on, Sanctuary Road.

One of the core themes of the novel is subversion of popular tropes. What happens when the beast is a woman, and the beauty is a man?

NO AI was used to create this image. Approximately 25 hours went into building this. Media is Daz3d (with extensive customization of assets) plus postwork in Photoshop to cartoonize the image and hopefully kill the Daz uncanny valley effect.

Project title was formerly "Unforeseen Magic" if you've seen this floating around the internet.

Commenting on my own post to note I (now) see the screwed-up hand holding the staff. This is not evidence of AI. It's a fx shader applied to a snow glove in Daz, which I just realized has the look of a mangled-by-AI hand. Because it's a snow glove, it's fat and chunky and looks weird ... anyway, i'll need to fix that if I use this piece in the book! LOL.
