What's the basic plot? Followup question, what do you feel would be fitting for a cover/title card? I kinda depends 'cause my skill-set is kinda limited. :)

Basic plot: two night furys turn two humans into night furys. However they are human in size (and in lots of pain) because a change like that should be painful, and the size change should be slow. To seem more realistic in my eyes.

Anyway a good portion will take place in an old abandoned chalk mine, and quarry.
What I originally wanted is maybe four night furys climbing/flying out of the gated entrance (which would be all bent inwards, like the training ring bars in httyd1.) Or something similar.
However Im now thinking the kind of detail that would be put in to such a piece of art, wouldn't come out well on the tiny thumbnail on the story.

Im now thinking a better option would be to show the 4 dragons flying round the quarry. I can get you pictures of the quarry hopefully this weekend (its both full of and surrounded by trees that have grown since abandonment about 100 years ago.) All of which don't have to be shown of course

I am however open to suggestions you're (or someone else) are going to be the one(s) drawing it for me.

Gated mine entrance. For scale an adult stands about 3/4 of the way up to the thicker 'middle' section

Wow, I can't believe I didn't see that!


Unfortunately. I am rubbish at drawing, so I can't really be of much use to you...

As you can see i haven't played around with it, even stranger is the fact that this is the very mine featuring in my fanfic. Which Im hopefully going to start updating within the next few days.

Anyway a few more pictures for you all.

To the left a pathway, I doubt many who walk along it know about the mine hidden in the overgrown quarry. To the right there's a thick band of trees about 10 meters deep. Then a very steep 50 foot drop taking you into the quarry itself.


You can just see where the tunnel goes off to the right.


From memory this one splits left and right.


The sssi wasn't in force when I went in. I wouldn't condone trespassing where bats are present, you get in lots of trouble with big fines.


This place is much more overgrown than when I went a few years ago.


Here's a bit of scale for you.


Its nor very clear, but this is a 50 foot drop below me.


Lime kiln, something that will be briefly mentioned.




There was a tiny cottage close by, I'm not sure who used to live in it. Either way this is an Anderson shelter.
