Janine plays Mina Welles in our Castle Falkenstein games. Janine defines this piece as the regular style of drawing Mina. The work is pencil on plain paper.

The play by email game finds Mina meeting up with half of the troupe in a train to Vienna. The encounter with French Science Minister Jules Verne and the others has done wonders for her. Mina sheds her coveralls for more radical (scandalous by Victorian standards) garb. This one is also pencil on plain paper.
