Inktober 2019: day 19 - brush inking and coloured ink

If they fall down without time to prepare, they don’t come out right.

Inktober 2019: day 26 - G-pen

Poppet’s friend found a smashed up breakfast bar, and it was far too big to eat alone.

This was much simpler in my head than it was to draw! Poppet and her friends are very easy to draw, but I didn’t factor in having to draw the breakfast bar and figure out how to position them all.

Inktober 2019: day 20 - mapping pen

It’s not clear to anyone why Coda attracts so many butterflies.

I went for something simple again because I’m tabling at London MCM this weekend and I’m starting to panic a little bit!

Inktober 2019: day 23 - Pentel pocket brush and ink wash (G-pen for the strings)

Here’s another character we haven’t met before, although you may have seen his eye if you’ve been here a while. Jothan is a courtesan at the palace of the Dai Empress, with music among his specialist skills. His people never show their open mouths, so he wears a veil if he’s been ask to sing as well as play.

oh i love your last pic! though i don't know the idea, is she a robot?

Thank you so much! I hardly ever get any asks, I’m so pleased to hear you liked the picture! This has honestly made my day. :D You could say she’s a human who has always been treated like a robot. In the Factory you must do exactly what you’re told to do, no matter what, so even after she escapes she doesn’t behave like a normal person. You’d think she’d try to find somewhere nearby where she could get out of the rain, but she was told to wait, so she waits. There’s a boy in the story with the same problem, I’ll try to remember to draw him later so you can meet them both!

Inktober 2019: day 25 - ink and water

She emerged unharmed from a deadly house fire, and now when she touches objects they ignite.

This is the same girl from day 21, somewhat earlier in life. By the time she’s employed as a servant she’s learned to control whatever is happening to her, but at first she would leave charred footprints everywhere she went.

I was tabling at London MCM from the 25th to the 27th, so I tried to keep them simple.
