About this photo

A fantasy anime scene at a desert waystation: a tall beast-kin innkeeper with deep brown skin, tufted lynx ears, cropped white hair and gold slit eyes stands by the mudbrick gate in an indigo wrap coat, keys at her belt and tea in hand. Camels kneel in the courtyard behind her beside a traveller and hanging brass lamps, while dunes fade into a violet dusk and warm lamp light meets cool ambient shadow.
