(Historical Notes: I think Past Me was still think about how well that tribute to our family cat turned out when I drew this. To be honest, Layla’s odd combination of being extremely aloof and prickly while also being very[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(Historical Notes: OOF. Past Me clearly had NOT learned hist lesson on the abuse of background texture here. At least in the Astrid comics, the foreground characters were a different level of brightness than the background. In this case, I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(Historical Notes: Yeah, after the failure of the previous series, I retreated back to just drawing whatever random doodle crossed my brain that night. In retrospect, it’s the exact wrong response to have, since I was reacting to not planning[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

(Historical Notes: Okay, in Past Me’s defense, pages like THIS are why I gave into the urge to let background textures bleed through so much of the art elsewhere in this series. I vividly remember being caught off-guard over how[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(Historical Notes: Alright, this one I like. A lot. The dramatic lighting on this one is some of the best in this whole series, and more importantly, the background texture REALLY works. And that’s the thing about so many of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(Historical Notes: Okay, not a lot to say about the art itself here… aside from the perspective of the canyon stock image not quite matching up with the drawing, but I’m pretty sure I would have had to cheat that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
