Here’s the last drawing of Pip I made before completing the reference (hence the minor inaccuracies).

The most beautiful surprise I received for my birthday was an art gift from my beloved friend Kitty, AKA Blankit, which you can see above. It pictures a young Faahvrigรผo leaving his mother behind as he goes forth to explore Meganeea, full of excitement and innocence towards a world he is yet completely ignorant of.
It’s hard to put into words how it feels to receive such a present, which requires reading my work, in order to illustrate it, and which depicts a scene better than I feel I can do myself, particularly Faahvrigรผo’s very peculiar liquid body. I cried when I saw it, which should tell you a lot.

Pip got a yummy bun! Just some concept art I did today. Digital pen and ink, screentone. Procreate on iPad Pro with post-processing in Adobe Photoshop.

Here’s another piece that sat in my drafts for years. Believe it or not, while Master Sequin’s Assistants has been a work in progress for almost twelve years, this is only the second time I draw Sequin. I put so much time towards the fandom, and towards gifts and commissions, that stuff of this sort got pushed off this many years before I even realized. It’s a little heartbreaking, haha. This is also the first time Sequin is inked and colored.
Though not very visible here, Sequin is tall for a gnome. His home and atelier takes two thirds of the base of a large tree. After Christmastime, Sequin tends to get more forlorn than usual, but not for the reasons you might expectโฆ

This grumpy Gideon is finished! Fun fact: about two years ago, while writing Meganeea, I hit a massive block at the point where Faahvrigรผo grows up. I could not move on at all. I decided to shake it up by reintroducing a child character’s point of view. It helped a lot, even though I’m already at the writing stage where Gideon, himself, is a young adult. He turned out to be a pivotal (and very major) character in the first book –the story does not work without him at all.
Fun fact #2: Gideon’s necklace (only barely visible here) is based on a necklace my mom wore as a teenager, which she passed on to me, and then I wore as a teenager too. The only reason I retired from my daily wear it was fear of it breaking.
