The Ishume Day – Final Illustration

This is an illustration I’d been running away from for a long time. I usually don’t draw sceneries and landscapes, but I have to admit I really enjoyed this one. Here, Aurelio briefly reveals to Stella where that thing escaped in my short story “The Ishume Day”.

You can read it online via WATTPAD in English and Spanish versions.

You can also download both on your mobile device via GUMROAD.
