I Think Ive Mentioned Before That Im Fairly Often Guilty Of Designing Characters With Important Colour

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m fairly often guilty of designing characters with important colour schemes and then always drawing them in black and white, so here are some colour pictures of the Vrega. There are a lot of minor differences between them and the humans, but the only obvious one is that they’re greyish-purple in colour. (I suppose if you stood a load of humans and vrega together it would also be obvious that the vrega are bigger, but Violet is the only human on the ship.) Violet is too tall in that first one, let’s pretend she’s standing on tip-toe.

My poor Mum is in hospital again (she’s very healthy but has had really bad luck for the last couple of years) so I made her a get well soon card. She really likes Poppet so I hope it will cheer her up.

I’ve been getting a little bored of the stamps I use when I package Etsy orders, so I’ve made myself some address labels! The larger ones are for the customer’s address and the little ones are for the return address. (I did have to edit the top one slightly from how it appears here to give myself more space though.) I was tempted to make more, but I’ll stick with these two for the time being. I have a bad habit of being over-enthusiastic when I make things and ending up with too many to use!

Inktober 2018 : Day 5 - cartridge pen

Lena’s prophetic trances are involuntary, and come on without warning. Her friends have seen it before, but it doesn’t stop being frightening.

I have a new postcard set available in my shop! I’ve been drawing Tabitha for the last day of Inktober every year for the last 5 years, and finally have enough for a set, so I got them printed! I think they look really cute together. The postcards are glossy on the front and matte on the back, so you can use them as little prints or as actual postcards. I hope you all think Tabitha is cute as well!

A while ago I wanted to do a comparison of some of the school uniforms my different characters wear, I can’t quite remember why. Nettle goes to a dreadful comprehensive school not unlike the one I went to, and wears a pretty casual uniform not unlike the one I wore. It might be the only time she ever wears trousers. (At my school only about 3 girls opted for a skirt.) Jessie goes to a slightly more upmarket school but I’m not sure any schools in the UK actually have a uniform like that, in the sense of one without a blazer but with an unusual skirt colour. Possibly there’s a blazer that Jessie prefers not to wear. I think the boys wear grey trousers rather than red. Patience lives in the present day and so has a very fancy-looking uniform, because for some reason UK schools all want fancy uniforms again? I very rarely see secondary school children in jumpers anymore, and more girls seem to opt for skirts again.
