This week, I have continued focusing on artwork, scanning in my hand drawn sketches and beginning work on the digital color versions. Since I have a lot to work on at once, I decided to set a goal of doing just the line art for each of the characters first. I often find myself demotivated after finishing an illustration, only to move on to the next one and have to start the drawing/editing process over again. With this system, I've given myself smaller, achievable goals each day while keeping that lacking feeling of motivation in check. Using this method, I have finished the linework for each of my previous sketches and have used the weekend to start filling them in with flat colors.
Here is a preview of how the dark witch Dorothy is coming along:
In contrast to her design, here is the finished version of Luna, her cute cat familiar:
Not only do their designs contrast, but so will their personalities. Once I begin writing the script, I want that to come across clearly through your conversations with them.
I have the complete set of character portraits for Luna available now for my $5+ patrons.

I’ll be out of town in 2 weeks, but I’m prepping some stuff now to hopefully go live that day, so there won’t be a gap in the schedule. In case there ends up being any issue, I wanted to let you all know ahead of time.
Anyway, that’s all I have for you this week. Until next time, everyone!
