There's a Satyr in there!

Black shadows - not good.

Black shadows... What book was that from? Sword Of Shannara by Terry Brooks I do believe

Those aren't what I think they are.

...are they?

I think they might be the "other" denizens depicted in jollyjack's other illustrations (I don't think they are really, but it would be nice to be proven wrong )

Crappity, crap, crap, crrraaaaaaap... Big dark cloaky flying things are never good. It's looking more and more like a Vanity project (pun intended).

Possibilities:

1. Hello My Designation is Gary's friends come looking for him.

2. Relatives of the undead pirate dude.

3. Dementors! Which means Scarlet might be going to Hogwarts! (Oh, dear God...)

"And why're your legs on backwards?"

hahahahahahahaha  

Looks like JJ is going to attempt to make this darker than Narnia. I'm not sure what those things are but something shadowy with two glowing eyes (which makes me think of Ico for some reason) probably mean that the local big bad is a little more hardcore than the Snow Witch.

Ten bucks that his next line is either gonna be:

• Quick push your body agains't mine and put your arms around me under the umbrella so they don't see you. Then slowly walk toward that dark spot.
  
• Quick take your clothes off so they don't know you ain't from around here and push your body agains't mine so you won't freeze.
