Well, first of all, since I know you’re all worried, I did not find my missing toy. I made it through twenty or so various containers, but it wasn’t in any of them. I know this isn’t the news you wanted to hear, but there it is. I haven’t given up hope but things are bleak.

Drawing food is not a strong point for me. There aren’t a lot of artistic strong points for me to draw on in general, but that one is pertinent here. Thomas’s one is supposed to look a little jank, but I think it actually looks kind of delicious. Carol’s is supposed to look impressive and it isn’t all that much better looking than the other one. I’m basically relying on the text to convey the idea that in world these things look how they are described. Not a great move for a visual medium, but it is what it is. It’s kind of like how Nina is described as exceptionally attractive, but I don’t really do anything in particular to set her apart from any other character. In my head she’s just just exceptionally pretty and how other characters react to her is really doing most of the heavy lifting. Also the things I think are attractive don’t always translate to that for other people. I think Evrina’s little rat face is fucking adorable and if I knew her IRL I would be really sad that she likes girls. She’s got them teefs that are perfect for nibblin’. If I had established my art style a bit more before I designed the main cast, and not been so worried about internet scolds at the time, Carol would probably have quirky teeth too, but she was meant to be the romantic lead, so she, like Thomas, are more generic that I might have gone with if I had been a little more experienced.
I have a pretty well established catalog of features that I just mix around to make new characters. Evrina has an abnormally wide head, and eyes I very rarely use, because they are harder to navigate at uncommon angles. I like trying to, but the results get a little questionable sometimes, with with my art is saying something. I went a bit more unique with most of the furries because they weren’t going to be a massive part of the story and they were meant more for expressing myself outside of the comic. I just really enjoyed them and wanted to keep bringing them back. Bridgette suffers a lot because I didn’t really work out her design very well. Her face hasn’t really settled into a version I feel like is “correct” yet. Ramon has started to settle into a version of himself that feels right after a long time of basically being able to draw him only one way with one expression. This is what comes of doing all this stuff on the fly and hoping for the best. Past the first two arcs in particular Between Failures is basically just a rough draft that got out of hand. I feel like it’s pretty good for being a first try though. I don’t know many people who could make their first swing look as intentional as I do.
Anyway, I hope you are greeted by a pleasant Monday and we can meet happily on Wednesday again. Until then, stay pure & natural.
