Ash’s Kin # 3 (illustrated by Anna Hybsier)

In “The Hunt”, Vassily tells his granddaughter Celeste a story of how he met his wife and her grandmother, although Celeste suspects this is just another fairy tale “from the old country.”

While on his journey he encounters a deer and chases it for many miles, enjoying the thrill of the hunt. Just as he was about to kill the deer, a young girl names Ash leapt on the deer and broke it’s neck.

Ash returned to her people, with Vassily, bring the fallen animal for their meal.

This man is one of the men in Ash’s tribe.

He appears in Sandman # 38, page 15, panel 1.

Anna did a fantastic job with this portrait. I like his curly hair and the slight wolfish appearance of this character. He looks like a normal man, but there is something about his face that seems a little like a wolf. I think it’s the shape of his jaw and his facial hair. This is another great portrait from Anna.
