I promise Holly will show up soon. :) I'm going a little overboard with the lineart still-- I haven 't quite found the simplistic cartoonier groove that i was hoping to with this and I think the Edwardian influence is doing it to me 😔
It turns out I have a stronger aesthetic groove wor...

Oak taking care of Poppy, plus some little sketches. This started out as me just planning to do some sketches and then I started to try something a little bit more involved and started doing this bigger illustration.
It seemed like a good idea to change up the costuming for the weather so &...

These are just some sketchbook drawings I've been sitting on for a little bit. I wanted to share them with you all before the end of the month report! Got a little Libby and Poppy and Oak in here too!

I dunno what's been so appealing to me about these teddy style nighties lately, but I keep finding myself drawing them. They kind of mask and reveal a figure at the same time, they're so poofy and kinda just remind me of a layer cake or an elaborate pudding.
They also kinda fit into this noti...

This is of course still a little work in progress-y. I plan to continue doing clean lineart and then do a final pass with all the halftones and colors when I have a bit more done!
I always find a bunch of corrections I want to make very late in the process anyways.
Happy Wednesday ...

Holiday weeks are always kinda wash for me in terms of output so I wanted to send out a little something ahead of my travel in case I don't have much else to show until after Thanksgiving.
If I can get myself to focus the next upd...

I haven't had a sketchbook process update in a while, I'd like to do things in a bit more informal way if everyone's okay with that. Still posting sketchbook pages and whatnot but also kind of embrace the more casual and basically show everything that's currently on my desk :)

Happy Sunday, more Libby for you. 🧡
No color just yet because I want get more pages done before I put color on and leave some busy-work for those braindead days where all I can do is color.

This was one of the poll theme suggestions that I saw some of you were "upvoting" with likes so I didn't bother putting on the poll because I knew I would do it no matter what haha 😏 so what's the point, right?
I might keep drawing more poses for this because I am not entirely satisfied ...

I'm using this first page as a stylistic test-bed. I'm going a liiiiittle bit cartoonier with this one, just because it's so nice to have a little bit of loosey-goosey freedom with character designs and expressions..

You gave so many good options, I had a really hard time narrowing this down to just these. Some I would have loved to try but I always get picky about doing justice to the characters and I think it'd take a lot more research to do it properly. I hope to be able to try them again in the futu...

I wanted to give her at least two outfits. :) I still am not sure about the final color palette of the comic but I'm pretty sure it'll be mostly monochromatic no matter what to keep things easy, and to be honest I'm not even sure I'll have two tones.

Yay progress! Apologies for not making the text more legible at just this stage-- I've been focused mostly just on making sure that there's room for dialog, the step that I normally ignore. I may still find I didn't leave enough further down the road but we're clinging to the "fix it later"...

I've been using the name Dana in my script for the Libby comic, but I don't know if that really fits her so I'm holding on that. She doesn't play a huge role in this story but I hope to use her more in the future!

This illustration was mostly about the color palette if I'm honest. Sometimes I just really want to see some colors work together and the whole idea behind it is secondary. It's really convenient to have Libby sitting around waiting for applications such as these tho :)

After catching their breath, the spriteling works their magic upon the shriveled vines, fastening them into a fine loincloth to replace yours that was torn from your body in the fight. You thank the spriteling for the gift and bid them a friendly farewell as he departs.
