AroAce Wolf for Aromantic - Asexuals.

Flying high in the sky (don’t ask me how, pretty sure they jumped). Pretty good view form up there though.

Nice to have some colours kinda familiar ti me, maybe my mascot colours weren’t as much a coincidence as I thought.

Be sure to check back for the last wolf, and some pay off

Just finished my grad show (only a year late) having everything laid out looks so good!

I’m very proud of all the progress I was able to make over three years while at HCA. Way back in 2017 I was totally different in my illustrations and attitude, hopefully I keep improving in the future as much.

I had the largest spread in in the illustration room which I find pretty funny. I’d blame all my big ass prints. I wasn’t able to hang my banner over my work but it looks good enough ;)

“Madeleines and Latte’s Sweet Adventure” - Children's Non-Fiction Book Proposal

For this project I created a proposal for a children's non-fiction book centering around sweet foods from around the world. Each chapter would focus around a different country's food with illustrations of traditional holidays and cuisine.

To complete this project I created one sample chapter for the proposed book around Germany’s cuisine. These illustrations set up the general flow and presentation I would imagine for the rest of the book. I also designed two characters to explore the world and give context and immersion into the scenes.

I wanted to create a non-fiction book which I would be interested in as a child. For this book I looked at how to present this information in an interesting and immersive way so that the reader would be better able to engage in foreign cultures.

Throughout the process of designing aspects of the book I determined to break from stereotypes and conventions which I found to be unnecessarily restricting. A couple of examples were overly gender coding characters and presenting intrestets in sweets as a negative thing.

While stereotypes and conventions can be very useful when constructing a story (especially for younger audiences) I feel that leaning too far into these stifles some artists' abilities and can negatively affect a child's view of the world. Allowing more variety in the presentation of characters or viewpoints of the world would only benefit a child’s development even in media which does not focus around these breaks from convention.

With this book I would hope to create stronger bonds with other cultures through food and genuine interest in each other's cultures. This first book is focused on sweet food however if I were given the opportunity to make more I would look at savoury meals, celebratory meals, or drinks.

Ace Wolf for all the Asexuals, Demisexuals, and Graysexuals.

This wolf is a little bit of a hybrid themselves so be careful around their sharp teeth. Still great to be around so don’t worry if they breath some fire.

Such a simple colour scheme I had to add in some black to vary them a bit.

Congrats if you got it right, one of my favs coming tomorrow

Small kitten latte I drew last night for something. Pretty good for a couple of hours of inspiration.

Agen wolf for Agenders.

Just chilling in the pond with a massive spear for a good time, nothing wrong with that.

Took so much jigging to get him floating in the water correct. I still need to practice perspective more sometime.

Next Wolf is pretty great, you’ll love it I’m sure

Aro wolf for Aromantics, Demiromantics and Grayromantics.

They Carry a big ass crossbow for the pun (yep that’s the only reason). It’s a pretty effective weapon though so don’t underestimate them.

Used a lot of green as to be expected, so it was a bit difficult to get the wolf to stand out right. Looks great now tho

Next wolf cometh tomorrow
