Some sketches of Anthony and Dolly’s early relationship

Some sketches of Anthony and Dolly’s early relationship

An observational piece- Ruben being found by The Human.

Mae traveling through the forest on a bright day.

I’m working on portfolio pieces today! I’m hoping I can get four done. All of them are going to be observational, this one is of a tree stump I found it the park, done in micron pen and grey marker.

A jar of honey tea, which is Mae’s favorite drink! It’s technically not tea, and it’s technically not honey, either, that’s just what it’s called! It doesn’t come from tea leaves, and instead of soaking a tea bag, some of the powder is simply scooped out and dissolved in hot water. It’s not made of honey, but it is very sweet like it.

Mae’s needle, aka her weapon! When she first returned to her kingdom after meeting the Kitsuga she started training with Noble, and he took the needle and had it forged into a blade. Her name is engraved in it and the loop is ridged for better grip.

I tried making a manga page for class! Manga is my favorite kind of comic, and my final graphic novel will be in that style. I’m still learning how to make it using screen tones since I’m new to all these digital tools. It’s still not where I want it to be but I do think I learned a lot while making this! This page is based off of some panels from the latest chapter of my comic from the panel dumps.

Concept art of organizing the series of events.
I made a simple timeline for my universe!
The past era is when Ruben and Asha were alive, and when the kingdom was open and seiki would travel around the forest. This era ends when Ruben dies and the kingdom closes off.
The current era is when the main story takes place! Ruben is back as a cockroach, the plague attacks all for kingdoms, and Mae is sent out on her journey.
The new era begins at the end of the main story when the seiki open their kingdom again! The post-story and everything beyond takes place in this new era.

Concept art for the different meanings flowers have to Seiki.
I believe I’ve talked a bit about this before, but flowers are very important to the Seiki! Flower vending is a somewhat common and important occupation for them, since giving flowers is special to them. Giving certain flowers is how they propose marriage, as well as celebrating other things (of course, they also buy flowers if they just think they’re pretty). Flower venders in richer areas can breed flowers to get rarer colors and sell them at a much higher price. Usually only higher-class Seiki can afford these, and proposing with a rare colored flower would be the equivalent of proposing with an expensive ring. Over an incredibly long time, Seiki have bred their flowers to be smaller and are able to grow them within their kingdom.

Further concept art for Dolly and Anthony’s kids.
I made an updated, more detailed ref for Dolly’s kids! They aren’t big characters by any means but I’ve been drawing them more recently in my own time, so I thought it’d be helpful to finally cement their designs and personalities. They’re just babies in the main story, but in the post-story they’re 2 years old and have little outfits Dolly made for them…
