Sep/Oct 2025: Acrylics and cut outs

From the ToyBox, a blog post from Suzana about recent real media work!

Hello! The last year has been wild, between the release of the first book and helping family take care of a new baby (another beautiful niece!), I've been grinding out comic pages as soon as I have time to sit down at a computer. A lot of time away means I don't sketch as much on the computer lately...

But, the nice thing about that is I've been expanding into real media again! I always find it makes coming bac...

please nobody call it the clown room in front of him

maybe he'll find it quaint and charming!

the clowns demand I sacrifice a magic eraser upon their altar

I started this page thinking I'd have to figure out a quick way to redraw the clown wallpaper, since so far I'd been doing it by hand... but then I realized I'd learned how to make brushes in CSP recently. I had to figure out drawing the clowns on a grid and setting them up to make sure it overlapped perfectly but I gotta say...

And we're back to regularly scheduled programming! So happy to get to introduce more family in LIFT, I had a lot of fun with their designs. I'll include the WIP line up we put together last month for them below. Jack did warn us there were a lot of them and we'll get to know them soon, we've got a neighborhood bonfire coming up after all ♥

TOY Revisited

We completed the TOY omnibus pages! Hooray!

We've fallen a little behind with LIFT as a result, but I'm so thankful that we were able to give TOY the attention and art updates it deserved. There was a lot of expanded artwork and little panels and additions in the third book as we reworked pages, I can't wait to get to share it with everyone! Here's a sneak peek of a three page sequence, you can really get a feel for how much extra little touches the book received from both Owena and me....

AND I have to drive into Logan? you're killing me here

We're going to take a hiatus on updating the public website until June. Updates will continue here in the meanwhile! Owena just needs a little bit of extra help finishing up the last pages for the First Second omnibus project, and I think we can finish that up by the end of next month with all hands on deck. I'll have time to get a page up on here each week, but not worrying about it being done for a certain day...

Dragging myself over the finish line with this page today, but happy April! I'll have passwords and a new post later today with some art for the art tiers, and hopefully catch up and have another page done by the end of the weekend! ♥

A page and a preview of a LIFT cover I've been working on this week ♥ Things have been a little rocky on our end, though everything for the most part is okay. But we're wishing you all the best and we'll keep trucking!

Owena finished the LIFT website this week, if you wanna check it out! Still have some minor things we'd like to add, but everything in due time. TOY is next for a full website update, and we...
