Thank you for the wise observations and compliments! It’s kind of a relief to hear from someone else that what’s in isn’t too much, feedback like that is really important for a functional piece like this, and most artists would likely just skim-read and either miss details or never tell if they think it’s too much trouble to bother reading it all.

I like your idea of creating a proper character bio/character sheet though, there’s probably enough lore or canon or whatever you’d call it that I could do a third part even, with all of that. Things like life history, countries lived in, current living arrangements, lifestyle, what a typical day looks like etc. Thanks for prompting that line of thinking!

Thank you! I actually have an old Huion tablet I tried with, but everything I made with it just looked kind of… Bad. However, last time I tried that was years ago so maybe the problem was my ability to diagnose and fix mistakes, or I just didn’t stick with any piece long enough for it to get into a state that looked anything like correct.

Thank you so much! 💙 it just strikes a sweet spot for me between complexity and simplicty, it has nearly all the more advanced stuff I need without being overwhelming. Also there’s just something about the way its brush tool works that really clicks with me whereas my lines in other software I’ve tried like Krita just look ugly even with about the same settings.
