[cw for physical abuse- after the image with Astarion holding the note in his lap. Only the inciting incident and aftermath (bruise) is pictured- for 4 images]

I've included a couple of the sketches for the sw au, but I really do just wing it and jump straight to inks, so they're pretty illegible hahaha.

As you can see I went kind of insane with comics this time, so there's less traditional stuff! (a majority is bedtime doodles, I use it to wind down which is why theyre all so sleepy)

I included the reference for that halsin forest picture, I'm always so sad I never quite capture the beauty of the original. I find the scale and atmosphere really tricky! nature is so big and detailed and I am...lazy... I draw the branches and leaves too big and lose the Grandness of it, you know! Anyway, it's still nice and I'm ok with it!

I also did some thumbnail colour studies, very very blobby and zoomed out. I was trying not to colour pick, and you can see my natural saturation tendency in action LMAO. The amount of times I'm struggling with a colour and I eventually colorpick and realise it's grey... [if you want to know any of the references, ask and I'll point you to them, sorry I know thats kind of rude but im tired and theres a lot. non anime artists are cordspaghetti, hikari toriumi, steven sugar. ]
