It's the 20th anniversary of Artemis Mirror~

20 years ago today, I came up with the story of Adam Marks and his friends and family while listening to music on my mp3 player while on the bus ride to school. I was 15 at the time.

While the story itself, as well as the characters, have undergone some changes over the years, the core elements of the story have always remained intact.

I hope soon to be able to better share this story with the world, but for now, please enjoy some character illustrations of four of the main cast. ❤️

I'm proud of who I am

No more monsters, I can breathe again

And you said that I was done

Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come

There's something so spiritual about getting to draw the blank, numb character you've been preparing for your comic for years with a smile on his face and knowing that he, like you, eventually gets to be happy, safe, and loved.

I can't really effectively create anything new or work on wips because of my phone screen so I'm just gonna share some super old stuff I wanna fix up and/or finish when I finally get a new phone.

A rare picture of my MC smiling (I almost never draw him that way sghjghhfhjk)

My boi Adam and all of his weird friends.

Look at him.

Adam, my boy. My baby.

Pathetic little man.

I want to smoosh his face in-between my palms and give him a big old smeck on the nose.

Pretty, sad little muffin of a human being that looks like he hasn't slept a day in his whole life I would die for you.

"There are two ways of spreading light: To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."

"I wrote your image into the stars, and even now, after all this time, it's still you I see scattered around the moon."

"Let's go somewhere the Sun kisses the Sea."

"But I found my family. I found the right thing to do. I found my way home."
