Lest anyone actually confuse me for a decent artist who knows what they’re doing, it took until today to realize I kept switching which side Remiel’s buttons were on. One thing you might notice in general is that I am terrible at keeping track of right and left. When I make mistakes like this, I… Continue reading Chapter 1.1: Stray Cat ~Lost Child~ 022

I was debating whether I should tag characters who aren’t on screen but are talking, or characters who are barely visible. In the end I decided yes, so Pandora gets a tag here, yay. If you’re reading this for the first time, you don’t know who that is yet, so just put a pin in… Continue reading Chapter 1.1: Stray Cat ~Lost Child~ 023

One of the things I wanted to take advantage of with the coloring was to have a bit more fun with the Atra’novalis, and make it a lot more colorful when one has been activated. Where did his sunglasses go…? I didn’t want to keep drawing them so let’s just say he tucked them in… Continue reading Chapter 1.1: Stray Cat ~Lost Child~ 024

The original composition for this page was so bland, I tried to improve it a bit, I think it’s a bit more appealing anyway.

I kept telling myself over and over that I was only going to touch up the artwork, but for whatever reason I ended up basically re-drawing this entire page. This and an earlier page where everyone’s faces got all creepy were meant to hint at the nature of the Atra’novalis. I don’t know if I… Continue reading Chapter 1.1: Stray Cat ~Lost Child~ 032

This page would have been done sooner, but before I could finish the last panel I ended up having to work on my illustration for a Mother’s Day card and so it ended up being delayed.

Qi’nya is probably the most difficult character to draw (though it feels like whoever I’m drawing at any given time is hardest). I’ve always picture him as having a fox face (like Gin from Bleach or Mitsune from Love Hina), but the slanted eyes are surprisingly difficult, and I’m not committed to drawing them closed.… Continue reading Chapter 1.1: Stray Cat ~Lost Child~ 036
