BEHIND THE SCENES: MAY COPIC CHALLENGE

Added 2025-07-28 19:30:01 +0000 UTC

Took me long enough 😵‍💫

Apologies for the wait on discussing the behind-the-scenes on May's Copic Challenge--I had been tied up in a lot more projects than I should have taken on. The good news is, I'm nearly on the other side of it, yayyy!

Anyway, let's talk about this piece! It shares similarities with March and April's pieces in that it's all taking place in the same city--a city that retains its colours, its charm, and its old-school personality. The shops being Diogo champion physical media, as this is the kind of area where you're sure to score something niche and truly special. Much of this city is inspired by East Atlanta Village and Little Five Points, so as to add my own local touch to this story. c:

The fashion photo is where I referenced the pose from, albeit loosely, but it serves as the foundation. The markers shown are all the colours used in the making of this piece! I swear the palette gets bigger every month (and this will be true for June!)!

Thank you as always for your patience--the next Copic Challenge piece drops later this week, and yes; Diogo will be appearing in it (if you saw the draft you already know :p)!
