It's been a rough month. Patrons, enjoy this exclusive cute rainbow wallpaper.
At first I was going to make them all teddy bears...then remembered I have in-house references for a couple dozen other stuffed species, so why not branch out? Ended up with bird Rowan, mouse Marula, bear Pascentia, pony Juniper, bunny Birch, and kitty Violet.
Marula chopping vegetables. Also, chopping the chopping board. Also, thinking about chopping...something else.
Bonus art from Leif & Thorn volume 8. (Preorder store.)
Sketched out a batch of "relevant characters in upcoming Leif & Thorn storylines"! Mostly to help myself juggle the whole ensemble in my head. Then took a page from the Sailor Moon artbooks for the limited-palette coloring.
"I'll do a simple Patreon-exclusive wallpaper this month," I said. "Just some small figures in plain clothes," I said. Next thing you know, I'm drawing 10 figures and spending all evening looking up reference poses of runners from multiple angles. There's a color-tinted version, which I think works better as a desktop, and a clear version, just for fun.
The number of women in the Leif & Thorn cast has officially outpaced the men, by a whole height chart's worth. A few were introduced early on, but didn't have enough appearances to qualify until now. A few others haven't actually debuted yet -- you're getting the first look. Cress - Tall and wiry aspiring lawyer. Her vitiligo has advanced somewhat since the mining storyline. Atarangi - Tamaputian fire mage. Freckles, half-sleeve tattoo. Laceleaf - Aquarium tour guide. Lost a finger in some kind of equipment accident. Magnolia - Minister of Prophecy. Hair was a dark red-pink before it went grey. Laurel - Tall trans nature mage. Prefers outfits with some bustline padding. Shown with her bird familiar, Fallon. Thorne - Older water mage. Has wings. Hedge - Dapper butch comedian. Prefers outfits that minimize the bustline. Big ears. Grassie - Dainty femme comedian. Never wears sleeveless or backless outfits, so nobody can see her right arm. Perfect curls. Lynwood - Heavyset writer/composer/performer. Wears a green wig, but doesn't change anything else, while cross-racially playing the title role in Leachtric. Moss - Brawny knight of the realm. Deceased. That's a birthmark on her face, not a scar. Marula - Skinny knight of the realm. Likes wearing pointy things. Plum - Mother of Thorn and Tansy. Has a heavier version of Tansy's build.
Dipping back into the Leif & Thorn Gem AU, for some size comparisons! Thorn and his original knights...all the ones who survived the dragon, that is. (Plus, Annie.) Blue Quartz (Birch), Kambaba Jasper (Annie), Ocean Jasper (Birch/Annie), Aqua Aura Quartz (Birch+Thorn)

In homage to the recent "Willy Wonka knockoff event with zero budget, a bot-generated script, and 3 jelly beans per kid" catastrophe...
Please enjoy this candy-themed lineup of Leif & Thorn secret agents.
New behind-the-scenes post for patrons! The backstory of why it took so long to write the Marula spotlight storyline, and how it finally came together.
