Rounding out the Mandragora trio, we have Alice!

Sorry for the delay on her—it’s been a crazy month. Pokopia + getting sick made it hard to get this one out, but she’s here!! Put a little extra love into Alice due to the delay—she’s got more color than the guys and she deserves the effort!!

The Color Game. “Humans can’t reliably recall colors. This is a simple game to see how good (or bad) you are at it. We’ll show you five colors, then you’ll try and recreate them.” I scored 39/50 but got a perfect score on one color.

And it was almost my pallet too…

Don't miss the radio button line I did... anyway I guess everything is brighter in memory...

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

In case you were wondering how Erwin was doing

In anticipation of chapter 17 of Mandragora

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly
