  1. Oops.
    I may have misattributed the ink version of Chapter 5 to Valerie Valusek.
    Can you confirm me that both the pen, and the ink versions, have been authored by Denis Beauvais?
    Thanks,

  2. Thank you so much for posting this art! Such an important part of the Chronicles experience. So great to see all this!!! These drawings are some of my all-time favorites.
